Honestly, I think the cruelest part of the Hunger Games is the reaction of the viewers. Since the government is organizing this event, the public thinks it’s completely fine to see people suffering, and they even start to see it as entertainment. Just by knowing that the people of Panem view heartless things like this as entertainment, it shows that they are heartless, uncaring people. This has occurred in history, with another event that happened in the past; the Holocaust. This was a brutal time for Jewish people, where all of them would be captured and placed in concentration camps.

Firstly in both of the novels, a teenager stands out from a society and rebels. I think, authors wanted to point the awareness, power and importance of youth in political/social events and for the future; tried to encourage and promote the youth to be aware and leading community. Also it can be concluded from, even though they include lots of political and social messages which target communities and governments, they are written as novels which can be understood by teenagers and young people.

A great example of hamlet not being a coward would be when he goes to talk to his mom and he ends up killing polonius.
