The only person who thinks that this is wrong is Sejanus Plinth, who says: The Capitol punishes the districts for the rebellion by stripping away all of their rights. Where do we go from there? What sort of agreement is necessary if we’re to live in peace? What sort of social contract is required for survival? No control, no law, no government at all. Gaul takes Coriolanus under her wing and helps him understand how to form a government. Who are human beings? Because who we are determines the type of governing we need.ĭr. It’s a lot to take in all at once, but it’s essential that you make an effort to answer that question. You can blame it on the circumstances, the environment, but you made the choices you made, no one else. Gaul, it has been unable to lay down strong roots in the nation, mainly because it has not been able to understand human nature. The Government of Panem is reeling from the devastating effects of the rebellion. The Hunger Games will go forward, with more energy and commitment than ever before, as we add your name to the long list of the innocent who died defending a righteous and just land. When one of ours is hit, we hit back twice as hard. They justify the Hunger Games and all of the violence towards the districts as merely an act of defense for a righteous land. The Capitol uses propaganda to depict the districts as wrong. Forgetting could lead to complacency, and then they’d all be back at square one. They needed to navigate the rubble, peel off the grubby ration coupons, and witness the Hunger Games to keep the war fresh in their minds. Despite this, the Capitol is determined to keep the memories of the war alive – to remind the districts who are in power.


The effects of war are still seen in both the districts and the Capitol. The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes takes place ten years after the rebellion.
