Leslee’s comments from the On Tyrants & Tributes : Real World Lessons From The Hunger Games group.

I think the most important theme in The Hunger Games is distraction. As simple as it is and seemingly not strong enough to be a theme, the more you look at it the more it becomes a theme throughout the books and movies. The Games are held not only to remind the Districts that they are submissive but to distract them from thoughts of uprising, its surprisingly clear when Snow makes the Games more violent and entertaining when the revolution begins growing. Its also present in the second book/movie where Katniss needs constantly to be reminded to "remember who the real enemy is."
