The Monomythic Journey of a New Heroine in the Hunger Games

Öz

Suzanne Collins’ novel The Hunger Games has as its central metaphor the traditional monomythic journey of the hero. This research focuses on the novelist’s attempt to redefine the concept of the hero in terms of gender, and also on the ways in which Collins’s retold version of monomyth represents human experience in the contemporary world. Collins offers an alternative to the paradigmatic hero’s journey, replacing it with the metaphor of the heroine’s journey. This study presents Collins’s protagonist, Katniss, who embarks on the traditional heroic quest -- which acquires a symbolical significance of a psychic experience -- and confronts multiple challenges and frustrations on her journey to success. During her heroic enterprise, Katniss turns inward, discovers and fully embraces her feminine nature and seeks a more satisfactory life paradigm as a result of which she attains the inner integration and reconciliation of both masculine and feminine aspects of her personality; she also understands and accomplishes her purpose in life. By recognizing the mythical and archetypal situations, which are subverted or inverted in the novel, Suzanne Collins reimagines the monomyth and also revises the significance and worth of private and public achievements in the contemporary community. Collins presents a new type of heroine who attains self-accomplishment only through her connection to the others.
