The hunger games seems to be about government control rather than anarchy. I haven't read or seen the Hunger games, but there seems to be similar themes to 1984. An overzealous police force, strict surveillance and an unequal society.
Quote:Collins also cites as a classical inspiration the Roman games. She feels three key elements create a good game: an all powerful and ruthless government, people forced to fight to the death, and the game's role as a source of popular entertainment.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
