Abstract

This study deals with the various social, economic, political and even lingual aspects of the dystopian vision in Suzanne Collins' The Hunger Games. The data were analyzed by identifying the scenes and the statements found in Suzanne Collins' Mockingjay. The five aspects of analysis are : a) totalitarian government b) political repression, c) dehumanization, d) restrictions of freedom and e) oppression which usually leads to rebellion and at its best a revolution. From these aspects, it can be concluded that Suzanne Collins' Mockingjay is a new futuristic vision of a traditional dystopian work reflecting totalitarian features. Mockingjay can be best viewed as a wakening call of common people to a full realization of their strengths and the necessity of overthrowing their oppressors
