This article explores the blurred boundaries between reality and the Reality TV Show in Suzanne Collin’s The Hunger Games Trilogy. The aim of the Reality Show is to show someone’s real lives without editing. However, there are no reality shows based on ‘only’ reality, and in this case, ‘show’ is much more highlighted to attract the viewers. In addition, there must be political strategies in the other side of the reality show. The bloody battle in the Hunger Games is performed in virtual reality. By the computer programs, the force field is established. This vicious battle to fight to death is broadcast live, the death is counted, and the dead bodies are displayed to imprint Snow’s brutal message. Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark cooperate to win the game, first using the berries, next playing as star-crossed lovers. Katniss and Peeta use the features of reality shows in the cruel Hunger Games to survive. Peeta realizes the savage purpose of the game and lets Katniss know about it. Katniss tries to show that they are not the pieces of the game anymore through the beautiful and sorrowful decoration with flowers over Rue’s dead body. By their efforts, the solidarity in the districts is made, the wind of the change begins to blow, and at last Katniss becomes the symbol of the rebellion. By Snow’s death, the districts seem to have peace and freedom. However, Katniss is disturbed by the continuous nightmare, and Peeta is suffered from the ambiguous memory. Life lasts within the blurred boundaries between reality and image, between ‘real’ and ‘not real.’

The aim of the Reality Show is to show someone’s real lives without editing. However, there are no reality shows based on ‘only’ reality, and in this case, ‘show’ is much more highlighted to attract the viewers. In addition, there must be political strategies in the other side of the reality show. The bloody battle in the Hunger Games is performed in virtual reality. By the computer programs, the force field is established. This vicious battle to fight to death is broadcast live, the death is counted, and the dead bodies are displayed to imprint Snow’s brutal message. Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark cooperate to win the game, first using the berries, next playing as star-crossed lovers. Katniss and Peeta use the features of reality shows in the cruel Hunger Games to survive. Peeta realizes the savage purpose of the game and lets Katniss know about it. Katniss tries to show that they are not the pieces of the game anymore through the beautiful and sorrowful decoration with flowers over Rue’s dead body. By their efforts, the solidarity in the districts is made, the wind of the change begins to blow, and at last Katniss becomes the symbol of the rebellion. By Snow’s death, the districts seem to have peace and freedom. However, Katniss is disturbed by the continuous nightmare, and Peeta is suffered from the ambiguous memory.
