Satire in The Hunger Games

 

The Hunger Games is satirizing  Hollywood, the media, and all of the other maddening entertainment flakiness that exists. It is all a show, where Katniss is made ready for the camera with makeup, clothes, and lessons on how to speak to her public through the interviews she will be encountering.This very idea satirizes society and how people are not born great, and bound to be famous but instead they are conformed into the cliche "superstar".  Her handlers could care less if she lives or dies in the actual games, just as long as Katniss is presented properly to the public. This idea also satirizes the lack of care society has for their people, and the truth that is displayed is that, people don't genuinely care about one another, but rather use each other  to benefit themselves.
