Rugged Individualism


Gary Ross's 2012 screenplay Hunger Games reflects the ideology of Rugged Individualism because it shows how a female is strong, is "living on the edge", and has a sense of independence for being part of these games that could potentially end her life. The character Katniss Everdeen which is one of the main characters in the movie, has a strong sense for individuality and self-reliance, also toughness.

For instance in a part of the movie Katniss decides that she is going to volunteer for her little sister that she will instead go and be apart of the hunger games from her district. This scene shows her toughness because she has chosen to take her little sister’s spot and have a greater chance to die in the process. Another scene reflects her independence and individuality as her and the boy from her district name Peta are on the way to the games and she makes the statement that she could do everything by herself but doesn’t need his help.
