* MoralPragmatist: By the epilogue of Memento Mori, most of the protagonists have been revealed to fall somewhere in this spectrum of morality.
** Marina is willing to engage in downright shady tactics and essentially intended to inherit President Snow's empire prior to his death. For most of Memento Mori, she's very clear about the fact that her objective is to take over the world. Her friendships with Saxaul, Polly, and [[spoiler:the survivors of the 89th Hunger Games]] steer her methods towards the palatable, and she ultimately wants to end the Games as much as anyone and [[BigGood personally coordinates the effort to make it happen]], despite Claudia's opposition.
** President Lancaster, from start to finish, is framed as the kind of leader who will do just about anything to maintain ''stability'', whether that's quashing a rebellion, authorizing Reconstruction, resuming the Hunger Games, building children's hospitals, or overseeing a massive military expansion that puts a huge amount of power in Claudia's hands. She's sold on an end to the Games at the point that they no longer prove a viable means to maintain order.
** Manari's strict sense of morality allows him to kill, ultimately, more people in the arena than [[spoiler:Cora, the actual victor]]. It's not until circumstances shift drastically that he recalibrates away from murder-as-problem-solving and begins to develop his opposition to the Games.

** This comes up frequently while Saxaul is couch-surfing - Marina and Polly, who room with him for a month after the 89th Games conclude, fall into this dynamic with him as well.
