By applying a sociological approach, this study discover the existence of the two roots of American culture known as American values and American Pragmatism, are still preserved. Katniss successfully manifests the goals of American Pragmatism that certainly taken from American values’ idea through her struggle told in the novel.

Literary work is the place where “humans as the part of society express their ideas, feelings, and experiences in various form” (Langland, 1984, p.4). It is also mentioned in Plato’s theory that literary work is an imitation of truth which had a tremendous influence upon early literary critics and theorists during the Renaissance and 19th century, many of whom often speculated as to the role and function of art as imitation of reality (Plato, 429-347 BCE).

It attempts to investigate whether socioeconomic factors play a role in Katniss’s character development. To address this question, Marxism was adopted as the theoretical framework to analyze Katniss’s character development. The results of the research indicate that the development of Katniss Everdeen as a character is a product of the socioeconomic power struggle within the society, both coming from the socioeconomic classes and the two presidents in Panem.

  • The Monomyth Today: the Journey of the Mythological Hero in Catching Fire, by Suzanne Collins’
    Morais, G. A. L. F. de. (2018); ‘The monomyth today: the journey of the mythological hero in Catching Fire, by Suzanne Collins’ Rosetta 22: 40 - 64 http://www.rosetta.bham.ac.uk/issue22/Morais.pdf The monomyth today: the journey of the mythological hero in Catching Fire, by Suzanne Collins Guilherme Augusto Louzada Ferreira de Morais UNESP/IBILCE – FAPESP Proc. nº 2015 / 23592-4 Abstract In this article, my objective is to analyse and revise the classical hero model, based mainly on The Hero with a Thousand Faces,1 a theoretical apparatus of great importance with regard to the characterization of mythological heroes. Concurrently, I will demonstrate, from Campbell’s theory, how Suzanne Collins, Catching Fire’s author,2 performs in her work the monomyth, and how she inserted the model of the classical hero into the narrative road of her main character, Katniss Everdeen. Keywords: Joseph Campbell; Classical hero model; mythological hero; Suzanne Collins; Katniss Everdeen. 1 Campbell 2004. 2 Collins 2009. 40 This work proposes to analyse and revise the classical hero model in the novel Catching Fire, by the American author Suzanne Collins. Joseph Campbell’s The Hero with a Thousand Faces3 will be the most important theoretical apparatus of this essay. I use, as a source of the classical myths, authors such as Homer and Ovid, but I also use The Concise Dictionary Of Classical Mythology, by Pierre Grimal, a French historian, classicist and Latinist. Campbell analyses the exploits of heroes from various narratives, not sticking merely to the classics (namely the most well-known myths, such as Perseus, Heracles, etc.), and uses hero narratives to suggest that humanity has always had the same dreams and fears.

However, the creation of the heroin in the film is granted as the reconstruction of popular heroes in America. She is an inspiring female hero which is exemplified as the appreciation of women’s values. Yet, the heroin is broadly defined with the qualities of rouge heroes as the characteristics are the representation of the belief and values associated with freedom to wash away the oppression restore the rights of the minority. In addition to the issue of slavery , the symbols of new hope and new spirit are implicitly emerged in the story.
