Haunting Legend Trimetric Projection of Boudica in The Hunger Games.

      Аннотация: This study focuses on The Hunger Games trilogy through an Archetypal Criticism in terms of rebellious women warriors to show the correlation between Boudica, the legendary Celtic warrior queen of the Roman Conquest of Britain and the British Revolt against Rome in AD 60, and Katniss, the fictional rebellious character. This study also examines and analyzes how Collins deconstructs the real historical character Boudica and reveals the fictional heroine character Katniss as a trimetric projection of Boudica. However, this study also aims to demonstrate how society forces the ever-ready heroic qualities in Katniss and Boudica to emerge, in what ways dystopian societies force certain roles on the main characters and how the myths of Boudica contribute to the quest and deconstruction of the hero’s journey.
