The Games are a televised competition in which “tributes” are compelled to battle to the death in a deadly public arena.

The Hunger Games serve to entertain the Capitol while also reminding the districts of the Capitol’s power and lack of regret or forgiveness for the failed rebellion of the current contenders’ forefathers.
