Good article on Catching Fire. (I haven’t seen the movie yet, but I like this analysis.)
The personal is political because there is no personal.
There is no private realm to retreat into.
Haymitch tells Katniss and Peeta that they will never get off the train – meaning that the reality TV parts they are required to play will continue until their deaths. It’s all an act, but there’s no offstage.
There are no woods to run into where the Capitol won’t follow. If you escape, they can always get your family.
There are no temporary autonomous zones that they won’t shut down. It’s just a matter of time.
Everyone wants to be Katniss, except Katniss herself.
