An identity is communicated to others in your interactions with them. Identity is not a fixed thing within a person. It is "a shifting, temporary construction". People construct themselves according to a set of rules. A Foucauldian analysis of Mockingjay presents that individuals like Katniss can obtain power through 'techniques of the self'. Also in Gossip Girl, Blair and Serena change their identity according to who they are dating.
