- W15192277 abstract "When Katniss first arrives in the Capitol, she is both amazed and repulsed by the dramatic body-modifications and frivolous lives of its citizens. Compared to the harsh conditions of her own District 12, the luxuries of the Capitol and the party-style excitement of the population at the prospect of the Hunger Games seems unforgivable. “What do they do all day, these people in the Capitol,” she wonders, “besides decorating their bodies and waiting around for a new shipment of tributes to roll in and die for their entertainment?” Katniss’s three-person prep team embodies everything that she finds repugnant about the Capitol, from their high-pitched voices (with the accent she finds so affected) to their overwhelming preoccupation with fashion, social status, and parties. At the same time, the Mockingjay grows fond of them—and so do we, as they fuss and flutter around Katniss like exotic birds, doing their best to transform her to Cinna’s specifications. The prep team is actively promoting the horror of the Hunger Games, but they are sympathetic—not evil—characters, and in this way they resemble the vast majority of the Capitol citizens. But how is the prep team’s affection for Katniss and Peeta compatible with their bloodthirsty delight at the violent spectacle itself? What keeps them from recognizing that all the children in the arena are the objects of affection? And why do the Capitol citizens generally remain so indifferent to the systemic injustices on which their comfort rests? As we’ll see, the more time and energy the Capitol citizens focus on body-modification and their social lives, the more self-focused they become...and the less likely they are to notice or care about political injustices that don’t directly affect them. A further examination of how the frivolity of the citizens is actually used by the Capitol to strengthen its power." @default.
