Levi-Strauss Structuralism

Hunger Games (President Snow)

Undervaluation

President Snow, as a ruthless leader, is determined to kill even those who are of his kin in the name of his communist ideals

Oskar Schindler, as a businessman, is determined to help the Jews out of the Holocaust

Overvaluation

President Snow let Seneca facilitate and manage the 74th Hunger Games thus entrusting his responsibility as the president(or communist leader)

Schindler uses his money and resources as a businessman to implicitly free the not so essential workers of his enamelware factory

President Snow has Seneca as Oskar Schindler has Itzhak a game master Stern as his accountant Snow has this instability with the traditional rules on victorship of the two tributes of same district and announce a victor in the later part of the game. Schindler, like a spider, implicitly revolted against the communist ideals and let Goeth and his men to carry out plans and actions in the communist way

Binary Oppositions

Snow did not interfere with the Schindler did not comment peacekeepers murders for revoltingly on te murders and possible threats of revolution. gunshots heard or even those he that happen before his eyes Through Hunger Games, Snow washed his hands on murders and let the tributes kill themselves Unable to demand liberty and freedom to life to the higher communist authority for the Jews, he let murder and discrimination happen in the hands of Aman Goeth

Protagonist Katniss Everdeen

Seneca , in an interview narrated the history of Panem Gale and Katniss talk about living together in the woods with their family Katniss, resisting to kill a tribute like her hunts changed when herone and only ally, Rue, was speared by a boy from District 1. She then became determined to kill every tribute that comes her way. Plot As Katniss heard of the the announcement that two tributes from the same district will be announced pronounced victors

Oskar Schindler A foreshadowing of the registration of the Jews Schindler struggles to save a group of Jews from death at the hands of the Nazis. Schindler, upon witnessing increasing violence and killing of Jews in Nazioccupied Poland, undergoes a slow transformation, becoming a compassionate man obsessed with saving the lives of the Jewish workers in his factory. As Schindler witnesses the evacuation of the Krakw ghetto, he sees a little girl in a red coat. The image and the violence he witnesses so move him that his humanity is awakened, and he realizes he must do something to help. After witnessing the evacuation of the Jewish ghetto, Schindler realizes his factory is a haven for Jews and begins actively to give Stern expensive goods to use as bribes to bring more Jews into his factory, where he can keep them at least somewhat safe.

Katniss, unaware of her rebellious actions, absentmindedly used the poisonous berries for the drama.

Table 3 Comparison Between The Hunger Games and Schindlers List in a Feminist Angle Feminist Approach
Models of Differences Linguistic

The Hunger Games

it starts with the overly invested way mothers reproach their daughters to "dress like a lady." Katniss never makes any decisions of her own, never acts with consequence-- but her life is constructed to appear that she makes important decisions. It can be seen that Katniss was convinced by Haymitch to do such a kiss by sending her a silver parachute with a soup.

Schindlers List
Amon Goeth, fueled by alcohol called Helen as Jew bitch

Psychoanalytic

The Jew women were psychologically tortured by means of pulling away their children and husbands

Biological

A number of scenes display the Jew women naked. Theres also the bed scene between Oskar Schindler and his wife and the women dancers that emphasized their breasts and their legs The women are viewed as subordinates of the men. That women doesnt have the right in the world of men. We can see this in the earlier part of the film where a woman was covered by an officer during a photo-taking. The function of women in the film(even the little girls) are repressed by the term essential.

Sexual Politics Patriarchy Ideological

It represents a form of female empowerment when it is exactly the opposite. Katniss, being more focused and important in the film, is against the rule when we talk about male supremacy since the film talks about the physique The "society" that forces false choice on women is actually starts with the overly invested way mothers in the film reproach their daughters The brunette who dyes her hair blonde isn't trying to look Swedish, the point is to make sure everyone knows it's artificial because it's a signal: I don't want blonde hair, I want to be a blonde, thus talks about stereotyping.

Sociological

Class

To be married and linked with a diplomat/womanizer like Oskar Schindler and Amon Goeth, the woman should possess such manners, grace and beauty that can be of pride when presented to the public.
