The annual hunger games are based off of bad human nature. In the book , the book quotes “ Taking the kids from our districts, forcing them to kill one another while we watch”.( 1.76) By stating this quote, this quote proves that human nature is bad , because killing for no legal reason and forcing a child to harm or kill another child is cruel.
The competition of the hunger games cancels out any potential feelings for anything, or anyone.In the book, the book quotes “because we’re going to be thrown in the arena to fight to the death”.(2.48) Competition plays a big role in bad human nature. In this quote, the districts
are about to get thrown in the arena to kill anyone they see, because that is all that their human nature has taught them to do.Human nature is based off of a lot of things, as in love, sacrifice, competition, strength and skill. In the book, the book quotes, “oh there’ll be people like me to . People to weed out before the real fun begins”.(3.13) In the book, some districts are rich, and some are poor. This quote from the book means kill the poor first, then go after the rich. Human nature is bad in this situation because all they’ve been taught is to kill and they see the poor as nothing.
Human nature is a set of characteristics that all humans share. Human nature can be good or bad. Most of human nature is either hard-wired or formed by civilization. In The Hunger Games human nature is formed by civilization because all of their lives their civilization has been good , but while their civilization is good their human nature is bad.
