Conflict Man vs. Man: One man vs. man conflict is between the tributes at the Hunger Games. They all have to kill each other to survive. The author often describes this as a “kill or be killed” situation. They are all in a forest-type arena and have to fend for themselves the whole time. Man vs. Society: A man vs. society conflict in the book is between Katniss and the Capitol. Katniss does not like that the Capitol continues to punish all of her country for an uprising that happened long ago. She thinks it is cruel that they force each district to sacrifice children to fight to the death. She can’t say what she feels during the Hunger Games, because she knows the Capitol is always watching and listening. If she does something out of line, she knows the Capitol will punish both her and her district. Man vs. Nature: One man vs. nature conflict is between Katniss and the wilderness. She can get food for herself, but does not know about forest plants. When she or one of her allies is injured, she doesn’t know the resources she needs to heal them. She tries her best to think rationally and find the things she needs in the arena. Man vs. Self: A man vs. self conflict in the book is between Katniss and herself. She is afraid she will be changed for the worse in the Hunger Games. She becomes extremely defensive of herself and Peeta, and throughout the games she becomes less and less bothered by the fact that she has to kill people. She does not realize she has changed until right after the hunger games, when she sees her reflection but doesn’t recognize herself.
