Pronunciation
[edit]Noun
[edit]trilogy (plural trilogies)
- A set of three works of art that are connected, and that can be seen either as a single work or as three individual works. They are commonly found in literature, film, or video games.
- 22 March 2012, Scott Tobias, AV Club The Hunger Games[1]
- That such a safe adaptation could come of The Hunger Games speaks more to the trilogy’s commercial ascent than the book’s actual content, which is audacious and savvy in its dark calculations.
