The women use their emotions in order to figure out that Mrs. Wright did commit the murder. By the end of the play they decide to protect her because they seemed to relate to the abuse she endured in the household. The murder was justifiable because during this time period there was no such thing as divorce.

Brooks shows us that the plague causes many to suffer not only physically however mentally and emotionally as well. Before Anna could “mourn the (people) that (she) loved, another (person) was ill in her arms”. This caused Anna to come to a point in her life where she could either sink or swim and Anna decided to sink. Anna decided to be cruel to herself and turned to poppies, even though it did relieve her pain then, she suffered much more later. Not only did people suffer from the plague and what it brings, however people suffered from their own personal upbringing.

They shared their kill, because Gale had a large family to fend for as well. In turn, Gale taught Katniss how to set snares and traps. She used these skills to provide fresh meat and nutritious plants for her mother and sister, and sold a portion to have money for other supplies. Without Katniss, the family would starve to death, because her mother was too depressed, from her husband’s death, to work and her sister was too young and delicate to participate in gathering food. 24 tributes are thrown into an arena and they are forced to kill or be killed.
