Separation is key - to separate people so the state can gain power over them (Katniss is separated from Peeta, her family and Gale at different points; Offred is completely cut off from her husband, daughter, mother and best friend)
Government control (The Capitol and The Republic of Gilead)
Katniss reminds herself of who she is and where she comes from, which is similar to what Offred does throughout her memories.
Backstory of war (rebellion against the Capitol and the Republic of Gilead (MayDay)
People in the Capitol dress garishly, in bright colours, to show off their wealth and status, whereas people in the districts dress in workwear. This links to the uniforms of different groups in The Handmaid's Tale.
division of districts/functions (roles in The Handmaid's Tale)
Propaganda - news story on TV that seems false to Offred and the 'propos' of the rebels in The Hunger Games
Places changing function - In The Hunger Games, District 12 and District 13 change because of Government bombings. In The Handmaid's Tale, the university used to be a place of learning, now it is a place of control, (Red Centre)
theme of daily routine
