The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes trailer includes a significant question, proving that the prequel movie will address an old Hunger Games problem. The original four films, based on the book trilogy by author Suzanne Collins, explored the rebellion that resulted from the games Panem’s government forced the Districts to endure. The reason these games were established is explained in Katniss’ story, but the answer has always been confusing. The prequel novel, The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, provided a far more impactful reason, and the recent trailer proves the upcoming film will too.

The plot of The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes will pick up 65 years before the events of the original Hunger Games movies and will follow a young President Coriolanus Snow through his first year involved in the Hunger Games—this time as one of the first-ever mentors. He is given this task as a part of a school assignment, and his future in Panem depends on his ability to do it well. However, he ends up faced with several questions about the games. Are they moral? Are the District tributes any different from himself? Do the children of rebels deserve to die? Still, the greatest question he must consider throughout the film is why they exist to begin with.

The Hunger Games Movies Present The Games As A Punishment (But Ballad Of Songbirds & Snakes Challenges This)

In the original The Hunger Games books and movie, Katniss’ reaping began with a presentation explaining the brutal event’s purpose. 74 years before, the Districts had stood in rebellion against Panem’s Capitol, and the resulting war nearly destroyed the nation. After the rebels had been defeated, the Hunger Games were established as a form of punishment—a reminder that the horrors of war should never be repeated. The problem here is that forcing the Districts to hand over their children to be slaughtered every year seemed to be a perfect way to invite rebellion. It’s not the most effective punishment.

This is where the The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes book comes in. Like in The Hunger Games, Snow is raised to believe that the brutal games are a punishment for the Districts. However, even he begins to question this. As the future president of Panem gets to know the tribute he has been assigned, he starts to wonder if the children of rebels really deserve this punishment. However, as the teacher responsible for the mentor project pushes Snow to think further—a moment teased in the Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes trailer—he realizes that the Hunger Games have a more profound purpose.

The true purpose of the Hunger Games was subtly explored in the original Hunger Games books, but the movies kept the focus elsewhere. This has led to concern that the The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes movie would do the same. Thankfully, the fact that the question, «What are the Hunger Games for?» is asked twice in the recent trailer proves that the upcoming film will give this major aspect of Coriolanus Snow’s development the attention it deserves.

When Dr. Gaul first asks this question in the Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes trailer, Snow regurgitates the same old answer—to punish the districts. However, as the trailer continues with a barrage of brutal scenes, including Lucy Gray singing «The Hanging Tree Song» and Sejanus Plinth screaming at the 10th Hunger Game’s Gamemakers, Gaul is heard asking the question yet again. Snow doesn’t provide an answer this time in the trailer, implying that the final conclusion he comes to will be a central point of the movie’s ending.

The Ballad Of Songbirds & Snakes Demonstrates The True Purpose Of The Hunger Games

In the The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes book, it takes the entirety of the novel for Snow to come up with the answer Dr. Gaul had been looking for. She had recognized that Snow had the sort of nature that a Gamemaker needed—she might have ever recognized the makings of a dictator when she saw one. However, to take him under her wing, she needed to see that he could figure out the true purpose of the Hunger Games. It wasn’t just to punish the Districts. This could be done in many other ways. Instead, the point of the games was to demonstrate to the citizens of Panem how despicable humanity truly is.

Throughout Snow’s story, he begins to believe that humans are naturally destructive. He sees this in himself, in his impulse to kill when threatened, and therefore assumes that everyone is the same way. If humans are so dangerous, the only way to keep them under control is through a totalitarian government. The Hunger Games were a way of saying to the citizens, «Look how even your children turn into murderers. If we don’t control you, you’ll destroy one another.» Thanks to Snow’s journey in The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes—one that will hopefully be captured in the upcoming movie—he genuinely believes this to be the truth.
