However, President Snow Donald Sutherland proves that he is still very much in control when word comes of a cruel change in the rules for the upcoming 75th Hunger Games.
Adventure, Sci-fi, Action. It is another five days before they reach their homes and their loved ones. Katniss changes a lot during the story. She ends up being a lot stronger and more rebellious towards the end of the novel compared to the beginning. She also starts showing a lot more compassion towards Peeta and comes out of the games as a changed person. Katniss is so angry because her plan the entire time was to die in the arena so that Peeta could get out alive.
The main themes of Catching Fire include survival, sacrifice, and the conflict between interdependence and independence.
They are both helping each other to survive. Yes, Katniss loves Peeta. The 51st - 54th Hunger Games are held. Thresh is born. Cato is born. Marvel is born. Peeta Mellark is born. Madge Undersee is born. Delly Cartwright is born. Clove is born. The 59th Hunger Games are held. The 60th, 61st, and 62nd Hunger Games are held. During either the 60th or 61st Hunger Games, Cecelia of District 8 emerges victorious. Gloss from District 1 is the victor. Cashmere from Distirct 1 is the victor, following her brother, Gloss.
Mags mentors fourteen-year-old Finnick Odair from District 4, who emerges victorious as the youngest ever victor. Vick Hawthorne is born. Days later, Posy Hawthorne is born. Three months later in April, Peeta Mellark secretly gives a starving Katniss two loaves of bread. Peeta and Katniss, both at the age of 12, are entered into the reaping bowl for the first time for the 70th Hunger Games. The 70th Hunger Games take place. Annie Cresta from District 4 is victorious, though witnessing the decapitation of her district partner makes her mentally unstable.
Johanna Mason from District 7 emerges victorious in the 71st Hunger Games. Seneca Crane becomes head game maker in the 72nd Hunger Games. An unnamed boy from District 2 becomes the victor of the 73rd Hunger Games after hitting the final tributes skull with a brick. The events of The Hunger Games occur. The 74th Hunger Games take place.
During the reaping, year-old Primrose Everdeen is chosen to be the female tribute from District 12, though her older sister, year-old Katniss Everdeen, volunteers in her place. Many tributes are slain, including Katniss' little ally, year-old Rue from District 11, to whom Katniss sings a lullaby in her dying minutes. After Rue dies, Katniss covers her in flowers to show that Rue was more than just a piece in the games. Claudius Templesmith announces that if both of the tributes from the same district can make it to the end, then they can both win.
By the end of the game, Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark of District 12 are both pronounced victorious by Head Gamemaker , Seneca Crane , in the first ever dual victory in the year history of the Hunger Games. They achieve victory by threatening to commit double suicide when it is announced that the rule change is illegal. Only one person may be the victor. They threaten to eat Nightlock, a poisonous berry. Both Katniss and Peeta are announced victors, so as to not be without a victor at all.
This might be partly because District 12's population, even the merchants, normally can't afford enough food to comfortably feed their families. That said, as his family owned the bakery, Peeta is probably one of the best-fed people in the District. Multiple people describe him and handsome, though Katniss normally calls him 'beautiful' and notes quite feminine aspects of his appearance, such as his long eyelashes.
In the 74th Hunger Games, a mutt one of the wolves designed to look like the dead Tributes mauls Peeta's calf. Katniss makes a tourniquet to staunch the blood flow, and this saves Peeta's life but he ends up having his leg amputated below the knee. In Mockingjay , following his capture by the Capitol, Katniss describes his mental and physical condition as slowly deteriorating, because of the torture and interrogation methods used on him.
Peeta has a very likable personality and is very charismatic. Kind and gentle, he is also very clever and skilled at manipulating others with his words. Though not brash or arrogant, he can be quite bold, having announced that he was in love with Katniss to the whole nation and offering Thresh and Rue's families part of his and Katniss' winnings.
He is a very talented public speaker, to the point that Coin would have preferred to rescue him over Katniss from the Quell. Similarly, he has a good sense of humor and doesn't take himself too seriously.
Possibly unique to Hunger Games Victors, Peeta is very reluctant to get into physical fights and very non-violent, to the point that Finnick would say he is the only Victor who won the Games 'by chance'. He states that he wants to be "more than just a piece in [the] Games", more than the killer the Capitol would want him, a Tribute, to be.
However, when very angry, Peeta has been known to throw objects against walls and shout, so he is not without a temper. He is gentle, but not a pushover; as seen when he breaks Haymitch's wine glass after Haymitch sarcastically tells him to "stay alive" in the Games.
Most notably, Peeta is loving and cares deeply about the people around him. He is described as sweet, gentle, strong, and steady by Katniss several times, and always assumes the best in people, which baffles Katniss who is, by contrast, very skeptical and slow to trust.
He is selfless for his willingness to sacrifice his own life for Katniss's , has a good sense of humor that he uses during tough times, and always knows exactly what to say to make someone feel better.
He is able to work with Haymitch on goals and strategy and, unlike Katniss, able to keep secrets and is trusted by Haymitch.
It is noted throughout the series his deep understanding of situations such as the Hunger Games where he says, "I don't want to be just a piece in their Games. His favorite color is sunset orange. Katniss notices that he always double-knots his shoelaces, sleeps with the windows open, and never takes sugar in his tea.
When he's hijacked, he becomes out-of-control, homicidal, and suicidal. Eventually, through separating "shiny" hijacked memories and real ones, he recovers, though still has flashbacks and trauma. Peeta paints his arm to look like a tree at the camouflage station in the Training Center. In the 74th Games, when Peeta is grouped with the Careers, they discover the District 8 female and killed her.
Moments later, when they don't hear the cannon signaling a death, an argument breaks out among the Careers and Peeta says that he'll go back and check if she is dead.
When Peeta rejoins the Careers, they ask him if the girl is dead, to which he responds, "She is now," and a cannon goes off.
Later, as an ally to Katniss, he accidentally kills Foxface when she eats some of the nightlock berries he had been collecting, thinking they were edible. He also states in an interview with Caesar Flickerman that he killed Brutus during the Quarter Quell Games after Brutus killed Chaff, right before Katniss shot out the force field.
During the battle of the Capitol, Peeta, in one of his rages due to his hijacking, killed Mitchell by unintentionally kicking him into a pod that released net of barbed wire. Peeta's family consists of five people, but not much about them is known. He is the only one of his family to be named. His father, a baker, is known for being gentle and kind to everyone, as well as a buyer of poached squirrels when the wife isn't around.
He told Peeta when Peeta was a child that he wanted to marry Katniss' mother. By contrast, Peeta's mother is described by Katniss as "the witch". She was physically abusive to Peeta, giving him a black eye for burning bread, and supposedly screamed at starving children when they looked through the rubbish for something to eat. Additionally, Peeta has two unnamed older brothers, one who was too old to take his place in the 74th Hunger Games and the other who could have taken his place but didn't.
As Katniss says, "Family devotion only goes so far for most people on reaping day. It is quite obvious that Peeta's family is neither close nor very happy. Peeta angrily states how his mother put no confidence in him winning the Games, instead remarking that "she" Katniss "is a fighter". He didn't try to hide his hurt or anger over the comment. In Catching Fire , Peeta says to Katniss that his family wouldn't be too worried about his death and that they could go on living without him, further implying the fact.
It's worth noting that, unlike Katniss' mother and Prim, Peeta's family did not move into the house in the Victor's Villiage, remaining in the bakery in town instead. In Mockingjay, it is revealed that all of his family were killed in the bombing of District In the epilogue of Mockingjay , approximately 15 years later, it is revealed that Katniss and Peeta have 2 children.
Peeta desperately wanted the children and eventually convinced Katniss, who had initially vowed never to have kids for fear of them being reaped. Their first child was a girl and their second child was a boy books. Peeta and Katniss join hands in unison during the tribute parade and become crowd favorites. When Peeta first saw Katniss, it was when they were five; his father had pointed her out and told him about how he loved Katniss' mother but she ran off with a coal miner.
Peeta asks, "Why did she marry him if she could've had you? She sang it beautifully and, as Peeta says, "And I swear every bird outside the windows fell silent. And right when your song ended, I knew - just like your mother - I was a goner.
Peeta was always seen with a large group of people and whenever Katniss was around he would notice her, no matter what. When they were younger, Peeta helped Katniss by burning bread as an excuse to give it to her so she wouldn't die from starvation.
When Peeta was reaped for the 74th Hunger Games, he saw it as in some way a piece of luck, so that he could finally get to know her. He and Katniss pretended to be star-crossed lovers, but to Peeta, it was not an act; he truly did love her, but Katniss did not reciprocate these feelings. Peeta never stopped thinking about her during the games.
When in the cave, Peeta expressed his love for her and told her of his memories of her, and when he first began to love her. Katniss and Peeta kiss each other and their kiss had real emotions behind it for both of them.
She is comforted immensely by his presence throughout their time together. They continued the love act until the final interview. Peeta is hurt when he finds out Katniss did not see it as anything more than an act. In Catching Fire, he and Katniss assume a cool relationship while by themselves but they soon agree to be just friends.
Although Peeta rarely mentions his love for her in his offhand comments, it is clear that he still loves her deeply, as shown by him holding her every night while she has nightmares; it is his presence that allows her to sleep peacefully in his arms.
They affectionately spend their last full day before the Quell together. During the games, Peeta was determined to keep Katniss alive. Peeta knew Katniss had feelings for Gale and if she was happy with him, he would let her go so she could find happiness—even if it meant sorrow for himself. Katniss attempted to bring him home alive, but Peeta had other plans. Believing these to be his final moments of life, on the beach, Peeta told Katniss how he truly loved her and would die for her.
He gives her two very important items: a locket with a picture of Mrs. Everdeen and Prim on one side and a picture of Gale smiling on the other, and a pearl he found, remarking that "coals become pearls when they're under lots of pressure. The locket and pearl became very important to Katniss and kept them close to her this is when Katniss is fully aware that she loves Peeta as well.
Despite the pain he experiences, he fights for Katniss until he is taken away from her. In Mockingjay , Peeta is gone for a portion of the beginning until about halfway through the book, in which he is only shown being interviewed. Shortly after the last interview, he advises Katniss to think for herself and not trust the rebels.
In response to Katniss's promos with the rebels, Peeta is tortured and beaten by the Capitol as a means of breaking Katniss. He returns after Gale rescues him, but has had his memories tampered with—or hijacked. While he is hijacked, he is driven to kill Katniss and is unable to remember the intense bond they shared. Over time, with the help of the people around them, Peeta's resilience, and Katniss's efforts, Peeta is slowly able to piece together his true memories and restore his deep love for her.
While on the Star Squad Peeta desired death due to feeling out of control and still having impulses to harm Katniss; on several occasions he asks her to shoot him, give him nightlock, or just leave him to die.
Peeta feared he would eventually overpower Katniss and harm her. Nonetheless, she stayed by him and comforted him, even kissing him when he was in danger of losing control, and the kiss was able to snap him back in reality, where he promises to stay with Katniss 'Always'. When Katniss returns to District 12, he went to her house and planted primroses around her home as a memorial to her sister, who died because of the exploding parachutes.
Over time, Katniss and Peeta grow back together again, and one night, echoing a "game" that they had played while he was having trouble recovering his memory, Peeta asks Katniss: "You love me.
Real or not real? Peeta, to her, was like, "a dandelion in the spring Katniss gives in to the 'hunger' that she feels when she is with him, and after reflects that she believes "This would have happened anyways," indicating that Katniss finally realized how deep her feelings for Peeta ran. In the epilogue, Katniss and Peeta have children after 15 years of being together, and they find a meadow to settle down in.
Katniss and Peeta are still haunted by the memories of the Games but find ways to carry on living and cope with their trauma, living in peace with their children.
Peeta admits to having been jealous of Gale for a long time, having watched him and Katniss from afar for many years and realizing the depth and strength of their relationship. In Catching Fire , Peeta knew Katniss had feelings for Gale and accepted that he would allow Katniss to be with him if it brought her happiness. When Gale was whipped, Peeta stepped in on his behalf and afterward helped carry him to Victor's Village.
Later, while training for the Quarter Quell, Gale teaches Peeta and Haymitch about snares and trapping. Gale stated that he tried to hate Peeta, but it was just too hard because Peeta is too good of a person. In the arena, Peeta gave Katniss a locket with a picture of Gale inside. He plans to sacrifice himself so that Katniss makes it out of the Quell alive and tells her that he wants her to have a life and children with Gale after he is gone.
In Mockingjay , Gale volunteered first to be on the squad to break into the Capitol and retrieve Peeta from prison. It is unknown whether he did this for Katniss or out of genuine concern for Peeta. Confused and suspicious of Katniss due to his hijacking, Peeta on more than one occasion expresses jealousy of Gale.
