It's easy to feel bad for all of the characters that died in the Quarter Quell, since they were promised a peaceful life after being subjected to the Games in their childhood. Wiress was intelligent and kind, and Katniss took an instant liking to her. Her discovery that the arena operated like a clock helped her allies immensely, and our heart broke with Beetee's when we watched her die at the hands of one of the careers.
Boggs was a leading figure in the rebellion against the Capitol. He was known for his excellent leadership and strong moral compass. He always had Katniss' back, even when it meant going against President Coin, and he made choices with integrity. Played excellently by Mahershala Ali in the Mockingjay movies, Boggs was a character that audiences immediately liked and trusted. With his dying breath, he gave over command to Katniss, putting all of his faith in her and finally allowing her to take matters into her own hands.
Cinna, Katniss' stylist, was the first person from the Capitol to take a real interest in her and to show her kindness. A talented designer, Cinna used his skill to help draw attention to Katniss before the Games so that she could get sponsors. Despite the danger it would put him in, he also used his skill to aid the rebellion.
In a choice that would ultimately lead to his death, he designed Katniss' wedding dress so that it would go up in flames, revealing a mockingjay dress complete with wings- the symbol of Katniss' token, and a symbol of rebellion in the Districts.
Finnick Odair, the winner from District 4, was charming, flirtatious, and arrogant. Underneath his public persona, he was also a loyal and loving friend. He secretly joined the rebellion and helped keep Katniss and Peeta alive in the Quarter Quell. While living in District 13, he bonded with Katniss over their worry for their loved ones being held hostage in the Capitol.
His kind, loving nature made those around him feel safe. His death in Mockingjay was definitely one of the most brutal and devastating in the series. In the end, neither Peeta nor Gale is able to kill Katniss.
Kept prisoner in her room with no way to kill herself, Katniss realizes that the Capitol is still in control of her life. It chooses when and how it will kill her. As Katniss starves herself, wasting away, she begins to sing. Peeta tells Caesar that he and Katniss are already married. According to Peeta, the two married in secret and Katniss is now pregnant.
Ch 27 b Why is Peeta upset with Katniss at the end of the story? Peeta is mad at Katniss because the whole time peeta thought Katniss actually loved him but katniss was just pretending all this time. Katniss voted yes to the referendum but asked that she be allowed to execute Snow in trade for affirmative vote, a contingency that Coin was agreeable to.
Coin was fooled by Katniss' falsely positive vote in part because she'd been blinded by her own thirst for vengeance and probably figured that Katniss, who'd been thrust into the Games twice herself, would be more than happy to see Capitol children made to pay for that. The other reason Katniss' pledge of support for the new Games was accepted by Coin was that she underestimated Katniss' sense of character and refusal to, as Peeta once put it, "become another piece in their Games.
Because Coin was evidently one for sinister pageantry, she decided to make Snow's execution public. So, Katniss, armed with her bow, was all set to carry out Snow's death sentence in front of the whole of Panem. But with Snow's words about Coin in mind, and the knowledge that the incoming president planned to be just as cruel as the last, she assassinated Coin instead, with the intention to take her nightlock suicide pill soon after.
Katniss knew her reasons for killing Coin would be unknown to most of the public and that she'd be tried as a traitor, but she was willing to trade her own life to ensure the vicious Hunger Games never happened again. Her self-demise attempt was thwarted by Peeta, who'd started to decipher "real" from "not real" when it came to their shared history, and she was instead jailed for the murder of Coin. In the book, she was later acquitted on account of insanity.
In the movie, new President Paylor, formerly a central commander of the Resistance, quietly pardoned her for the crime. Meanwhile, Snow was killed in the riotous melee that ensued after Katniss' assassination of Coin. Did Snow play Katniss one last time? But there was also some of the same willful defiance of the Games contained in her action, too.
Just like the first time those nightlock berries came into play, when she and Peeta held them up together to deny the Capitol a victor in the first round, she wasn't going to submit herself to the spectacle of such a public trial and execution as the ravenous public would invariably want. Luckily, she still managed to escape the media spectacle thanks to the mercy of the incoming administration. Although she'd live out her days as an exile of Panem, relegated to the remains of District 12, Katniss' story ended on a bittersweet note.
In the epilogue, she and Peeta learned to regain their trust for one another—although he still suffered from flashes of PTSD and often questioned her whether a given emotion or memory was true. And although Katniss had decided in her youth not to ever bear children due to the oppression of Snow's government, she and Peeta had begotten two kids, a boy and a girl, in peacetime.
By then, 20 years had passed since that fateful reaping that set everything into motion, and Katniss was encouraged by the fact that the Games were history and that her children would never face that sort of bloodsport the way their parents had.
Just like families have continued to grow in even the worst of real-life circumstances, the appearance of new peace gave Katniss the sense of solace she needed to bring new life into a hopefully bettering world.
But she and Peeta both bore the mental and physical scars of their trials forevermore. The message was simple: peace does not come easily for those who've fought to achieve it. Suzanne Collins' inspiration for The Hunger Games famously derived from flipping channels between footage of the Iraq War and TV game shows, as she started cooking up a disturbing connection between the concept of brutality and entertainment.
