Suzanne doesn’t write books without them being written from a theoretical or philosophical viewpoint. THG was inspired by Juvenal’s Satires, TBOSAS by the nature/nurture debate and lots of Enlightenment thinkers, and SOTR by the influence of propaganda on the masses (specifically David Hume’s works).

I’m not saying there aren’t more critically engaging angles to approach this world from (it’s a dystopian story, I mean, the list is basically endless), but what would be the point? THG is above all about defying totalitarian regimes and fighting for freedom. We have seen how the districts succeeded from a district 12 perspective. Why does it matter SO much what the thought process of a Career tribute was (because you can find the answer you’re looking for in propaganda and a pure will to survive, something Suzanne already explored in both TBOSAS and SOTR). Why does it matter what the details were of Plutarch’s plans while organizing a rebellion (he explained it all in his conversation with Haymitch at the end of SOTR, use your imagination to fill in the blanks, God put you on this earth with a brain, use it).

Consider WHY we only got a District 12 perspective (*something something* the lower classes rise up first against oppression ) before you ask for another book about Finnick’s Games (he was literally forced into prostitution at 14 years old, why THE FUCK do you want to read about that??).

Thought this was a necessary measure because we all know that surge of clueless thirsty tiktok fans is gonna happen.
