Main points of: The Political Message of The Hunger Games

The main points of the article include:

War in The Hunger Games ties in to political, social, gender, cultural and environmental issues.

We have the same kind of issues today.

The world of The Hunger Games is similar to our own.

The Capitol controls the Panem population via fear, destruction and fascination.

Flaws in a political system include the thirst for power and the use of it.

The Hunger in The Hunger Games includes, of course, actual hunger, but also hunger for political, social and self-realization freedoms.

The series shows the difference of wealth between those in the Capitol and the people in the districts.

The only reality the people in the Capitol are concerned with are television, fashion and trends.

Many see Katniss as a feminist example.

Many of her activities are masculine in nature such as hunting and providing for her family.

A social castration aspect is when she's cut-off from her family and most of her friends while in the Capitol.

District 11 is mostly made of black people and is similar to the pre-Civil War south in the way it operates.

Social inequality and political authority are controlled by Snow and his government via control of the media and the use of television.

Nature that is not controlled by the Capitol is forbidden. (It's also interesting that the Capitol supports the perverse use of Nature in making the mutts, tracker jackers, jabberjays, aggressive monkeys and other animals whose sole purpose seems to be to attack tributes during the games.)

It's possible that hunger is the cause of the various problems that resulted in Panem being made.
