The Capitol controls the people through fear and oppression from "summary" of The Politics of The Hunger Games by Jamey Heit
The Capitol, with its iron grip on Panem, maintains control over its citizens through the use of fear and oppression. This oppressive regime instills a sense of terror in the hearts of the people, ensuring their compliance and submission to its authority. The Capitol's tactics of intimidation and manipulation serve to crush any hint of rebellion or dissent among the districts. The citizens of Panem live in constant fear of the Capitol's retribution, which keeps them in line and prevents them from rising up against their oppressors. Through its ruthless tactics, the Capitol exerts its dominance over the people, forcing them to comply with its demands. The threat of punishment looms large over the heads of the citizens, serving as a constant reminder of the consequences of disobedience. This environment of fear and intimidation breeds a culture of submission and obedience, as the people learn to toe the line and avoid drawing the Capitol's wrath upon themselves. The Capitol's use of fear as a tool of control is reinforced by its oppressive policies and practices. The harsh living conditions imposed on the districts serve to remind the citizens of their inferiority and powerlessness in the face of the Capitol's authority. The brutal treatment of the districts by the Capitol further enforces the message that resistance is futile and that any attempts at rebellion will be swiftly crushed. In this way, the Capitol maintains its stranglehold on the people of Panem, ensuring their continued subjugation through fear and oppression. The citizens are kept in a state of perpetual fear, unable to challenge the Capitol's authority for fear of the consequences. The Capitol's iron-fisted rule leaves the people of Panem with little choice but to accept their fate and submit to the will of their oppressors.
