Gale are extremely chaste by contemporary standards.

The teenage years are a time when young people develop hormonally and expend a lot of energy thinking about/having/avoiding sex. In

the world of The Hunger Games, though, this doesn’t appear to be the case for Katniss. She is largely oblivious to her own romantic

entanglements, and her relationships with both Peeta and Gale are extremely chaste by contemporary standards. Even within the

arena, where social norms are suspended, author Collins has replaced the traditional sexual exploration that takes place in young

adulthood with violence and aggression. The plot consists of teens killing one another rather than coupling with each other. In

your interpretation, is this true and, if so, what is the reader understand about the relationship between sex and violence as

presented in this book?
