Lucy’s love of music and penchant for performing is central to her character, established early in the book as she sings upon being reaped for the Hunger Games. That’s where the similarities between Katniss and Lucy end, though. “We’re also trying to find the ways of linking it to the other movies and into the things that people love.” Maybe she’d heard about this girl from a long time ago having done the same thing,” Lawrence says. “I just thought it’d be really interesting if we create a history of it so that maybe she didn’t come up with it on her own. ![]() To see the connection there, the history that she represents, and to think that Katniss Everdeen grew up knowing about Lucy Gray and this moment, it was just a great kind of microcosm of both how much of a new ground it is and how rooted it is in what we’ve seen, but in this backward-looking way.” ![]() ![]() This is a woman who loves and lives to perform. “She’s such a different character from Katniss. “It is such a completely original Lucy moment,” Jacobson says. ![]() ![]() ![]() Hegel's absolute idealism is evident even in the earlyĮpistemological distinction of objective from subjective and offered his ownĭialectical account of the development of consciousness from Hegel's Naturrecht und Staatswissenschaft im Grundrisse and Gundlinien der Philosophie des Rechts ( Philosophy of Right) (1820) provide an intellectual foundation for modern nationalism. ![]() ( thesis antithesis synthesis) that Hegel believed to be the only method of progress in human thought, andĭie Encyclopädie der philosophischen Wissenschaften im Grundrisse ( Encyclopedia of the Philosophical Sciences) (1817) describes the application of this dialectic to all areas of human knowledge.
