character in Hunger Games. The researcher chose Hunger Games as the object of
this research because the researcher found that Hunger Games presented the
reader about the human existence who lived in tyranny era and has not any ability
to fight against the government system until she decided to rebel and ended up
being a hero of the story. This research is categorized as a descriptive qualitative
design. The source of data is taken from Hunger Games novel by Suzanne
Collins. Further, this research used theory of Existentialism to show and define
the life existence of Katniss.
The result of this research showed that there are three most existential
values by Jean Paul Sartre used in portraying the life existence of Katniss, they are
facticity, choice, and responsibility. By portraying Katniss from her facticity, the
character of Katniss was powerless due to the place and era where she lived.
Then, the character of Katniss changed from powerless to be independent
according to choice she took and how she was responsible for that. So, it is
concluded that Katniss’ existential life was began, from ordinary girl into the
winner of the games who succeed in freeing her district from suffers. She did
those by practicing freedom to choose and responsibility against all the facticity
she has in the beginning of story.
