Abstract
Suzanne Collins’ The Hunger Games Trilogy (2008-2010) represents one of the ages most influential literary works aimed at Young Adult readers. The Trilogy deals with a dystopian future society in which the ruling elite find entertainment and pleasure through the most violent of Games mediated on live television. Within these games, young people chosen form the unprivileged masses by lottery are forced to engage in a battle for survival until only one is declared winner. Throughout the events of narrative, a number of documented historical events and dominant historical personages are drawn upon as to bridge the manifestations of the fictional with factual world history. This thesis aims at analyzing the trilogy in the context of the postmodern literary theory of HistoriographicMetafiction. Itresearches the manner by which Collins rewrites world history through the most elaborate aesthetic literary constructs in order to convey a fictionalized perspective of documented history.
