The St. Bartholomew’s Day Massacre demonstrated how devastation could quickly take place in the presence of conflict. Unlike previous issues concerning the Protestants and the Catholics, this August 24th, 1572 pertained all the built up violence in one tragic battle. A big component that drove this violence was fear of being overthrown. Specifically, the fear of being taken over by the Huguenots allowed for the population of France to find validation in their actions or at least encourage said conflict. This is demonstrated by the publics’ unrest from previous quarrels, the involvement of the king and the authorities.

Following this assault, Esteban has no legal repercussions, developing how male violence towards women in Chilean society is acceptable. Not only does Esteban’s violence emphasize society’s view of women, it also emphasizes the struggle between the lower and upper class. Esteban verbally expresses what poor people “don’t realize is that [they] are completely ignorant and uneducated. Without me they’d be lost…every time I turn my back. Everything goes to pieces and they start acting like a bunch of donkeys” (Allende 65).
The twelve districts in theory should view the Hunger Games as the necessary tool that keeps Panem from uprising and self-destruction, however, the reception of the Games in the really poor districts clearly shows that the Capitol cannot reform them to think so. Statistically, the poor districts are always the most likely to lose one year’s competition because they lack resources to train tributes and their children are starving. Therefore, the response to the Hunger Games in the poor districts who are on the brink of starvation is the most dramatic. Citizens of districts such as 11 and 12 can only view the Games as injustice because once a child is chosen at the Reaping he or she is evidently doomed to die. There are rare exceptions as the
