Mockingjay why did prim die

It was a total nightmare, but one that Shields was more than ready for, having known the big bang was coming for four-ish years. I avoided thinking about it at all, because I just wanted to embody that strength for Prim as much as possible. This ended up being a not-so impossible task to pull off, as Francis Lawrence made the very conscious decision to not show Prim actually being killed.

But when you start replying to posts that were made 7 months ago, that's a whole different ballpark. That's when it's time to draw the line. Explore Wikis Community Central.

Man Don't necropost my dude Just make sure to reply to recent posts next time, k, bc this one is from January and you just pinged a bunch of people who don't want to be pinged, including me.

By trying to hold another Hunger Games not to mention sacrificing all those kids with the bombs , she showed that she was essentially no different than Snow. Jul 14, PM. I do not think anyone knows if it was actually coin prim's death could of been a more wrong time wrong place type scenario. The book never full explains who was behind prim's death although I would say coin would be part responsible since I think coin was the one who sent prim into the capital to help the injured in the first place.

I feel like Coin put Primrose in that situation on purpose, knowing full-well that she was going to use one of Gale's strategy that bombs the first crowd, then bombs the first responders "drawing on human compassion" I believe it was referred to as in the book. Coin did that because she knew that Katniss wouldn't tolerate her presidency, as she was essentially another version of Snow. Coin never intended for Katniss to hear the truth from Snow, she meant for the whole thing to look like Snow arranged for.

Also, I think a detail people overlook is that it was Paylor who gave permission for Katniss to encounter Snow - perhaps Paylor knew what Coin had done and wanted Katniss to hear the truth about Coin. Paylor was the right one for the job all along.

If it helps, Primrose didn't die in vain. If she wasn't on the front lines that day, Katniss might not have killed Coin instead of Snow. Coin could have risen to great power and wrought havoc on Panem. Suzanne Collins knew what she was doing there - Snow was about to be replaced with a woman who had no problem bombing innocent children when the war was clearly over at that point.

Katniss would have never known that Coin was responsible for those heinous acts if Prim were still alive. Finnick and the others would have died for no reason. Prim represented the ultimate good, her death being a part of that. And since I'm this far along, maybe somebody else will be reading these books in and will wonder about how Katniss and Gale ended up. Personally, I feel like Gale was consumed with guilt for the death of Prim, for one, and for two, was incredibly traumatized himself.

He almost needed a female version of Peeta to soften his edges a bit and Katniss could never be that for him after all that she had been through.

Gale could have never been emotionally available enough to bring her back to life, especially considering the fact that it was his strategy that was used and he was suffering as well.

Katniss needed Peeta, who is quite possibly the strongest character in the whole book as he never lost his gentleness in the face of all he went through. I think the intricate details in these series were simply perfect. Great writing on Suzanne Collins part. Oct 07, AM.
