Abstract This thesis aims at studying the relations between dystopian societies and the social human nature. This relation is examined and analyzed through social psychology. Social psychology is considered the ideal research methodology to analyze dystopian literature; as it studies the three possible keys to shape any society. First is the relationship between the individual and his society, second is the relationship between the individual and his environment, the third and final one is the human behavior and its results on the environment or the society. This study is totally concerned with the analyses of societies from a social psychological point of view, especially post-apocalyptic/dystopian ones. Such societies are introduced in more than one form and as a result to more than one cause through the novels of The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins, Divergent by Veronica Roth, and The Maze Runner by James Dashner. These novels introduce the bleak societies of the future and how the human nature contributed to making them dismal and hopeless. |
