Hence, using Marxist approach will be sufficient to help the writer conducting deeper analysis on
Suzanne Collin’s Catching Fire.
C. Method of the Study
In doing the analysis of the study, the writer applied library research instead of field research because the data to support the analysis were only available in the form
of textbook. The most important data for the analysis were mostly found in the books at the library because the books at the library contained sufficient information
regarding the topic the writer were studying. The writer used systematic steps to do the analysis. The first was reading. The
writer read the novel repeatedly in order to gain deeper understanding about the story itself. The second, the writer collected the data so the problem formulation could be
formulated. The primary data was collected from the novel. The third, the writer used the theories that had been collected as secondary data to analyze the problems
formulation. Fourth, the writer answered the problems formulation using the theories that were employed as the main analysis of this study. Finally, the writer concluded
the analysis to get the summary of the study.

CHAPTER IV ANALYSIS
This chapter contains the answers of the problem formulation mentioned in the previous chapter. This chapter consists of three sub-chapters. The first is
about the depiction of the Katniss Everdeen, the major character in the novel. The second part is about the unequal treatments performed by the Bourgeois. The third
part is discussing about the portrayal of the class struggle as the impact of the unequal treatments done by Bourgeois
through Katniss‟ reactions.

can be divided into two groups, protagonist and antagonist. Protagonist is the first or main character in the story while antagonist is the opposite of it or the
characters who are against the main character. Katniss is the protagonist in the story. In this study, the writer will only study about Katniss as the main character
of the story. In describing the character, the writer employs the theory of character by
M.H. Abrams. By using Abrams‟ theory, the writer will examine the persons in the story through what they say and do. To go on deeper analysis on character the
writer will also use theory of characterization by Johnson and M. J. Murphy. In Johnson, there will be two ways to describe the character, direct and indirect
interpretation while in Murphy‟s theory there will be nine ways in seeing the character. The character can be seen by using the identification given by the
