“…Katniss's perspective to Capitol accent which seems silly to be spoken and the fashion sense of the queer community are reflected into the Capitol residents' actions and attitudes (Abate, 2015, pp. 400-401) [1]. Furthermore, Byrne (2015, p. 46) [3] found that Katniss' fashion in The Hunger Games novels revealed her weaknesses in power inequalities, her mortality, fragility, and dependence on the Capitol system.…”

“…Furthermore, Byrne (2015, p. 46) [3] found that Katniss' fashion in The Hunger Games novels revealed her weaknesses in power inequalities, her mortality, fragility, and dependence on the Capitol system. Various issues have been found in The Hunger Games both its novels and its motion pictures, from post-colonial issue (Ghaffarpour, 2013;Oliver, 2014) [6][10], LGBQ issue (Abate, 2015) [1], and the fashion of the character (Byrne, 2015) [3], but none of them attempted to discover the monomyth concept of The Hunger Games novels.

This paper aims to reveal the Journey of Katniss Everdeen by exploring the way monomyth concept is established within the The Hunger Games 1st series. It employs Joseph Campbell’s theory of mythical heroes and quests which he initiates in his book Heroes with a Thousand Faces. The analysis discovers that Katniss initiates her Heroine Journey by volunteering herself to join the Hunger Games. She passes various trials that influence her character’s transformation. She gains two identities during the Journey, as an innocent girl from District 12 and as a victor of Hunger Games. She achieves the true love act with Peeta as a trigger step to move to the next Journey. This paper concludes that the cycle of monomyth in this series ends in the middle of Return stage. It indicates that this series is a trigger act and a beginning step of Katniss Journey for transforming herself to be a heroine at the end of her Journey.
