All districts in the totalitarian nation of Panem are kept under varying degrees of poverty and are routinely pitted against each other in the form of the Hunger Games. The authorities in the Capitol maintain their positions of power through wealth, fear, and rivalry. The Hunger Games Themes Oppression and Inequality Some of the themes that can be gleaned from the novel include the theme of oppression, inequality, appearances, celebrity culture, as well as violence. Part of the reason for its fame is the riveting themes that it captures, all of which are central to the post-apocalyptic and dystopian nature of the novel. The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins has risen in popularity ever since its release in 2008. ![]()
