She begs Snow not to harm Gale, but Snow tells her he is more concerned with her relationship with Peeta than her friendship with Gale. She realizes her carelessness has endangered hers, Peeta's, and Gale's families. Katniss tries unsuccessfully to refute Snow's claims that she is indifferent to Peeta and his feelings for her. In the Capitol's eyes, she's been ignoring Peeta and the relationship they are supposed to be in. Katniss decides that the Capitol views her and Gale's weekly hunting trips - and the one time that Gale unexpectedly kissed her, which Snow knows about - as flaunting her defiance in front of the entire district. Instead, the Capitol has invaded even that sacred sphere of her life. No longer are the woods a safe haven where she and Gale are free to say how they feel. Katniss begins to realize that she has been watched more closely than she thought. Instead, Snow tells Katniss that the Victory Tour is her final chance to convince everyone she is madly in love with Peeta - even though he knows Katniss isn't sure of her feelings for Peeta or for Gale. Katniss proposes that Snow simply execute her or arrange to have her "accidentally" killed, but he says her death would only add more fuel to the uprising and create serious trouble. A rebellion, Snow claims, would collapse Panem's stable system. Snow pretends to care about the people in Panem, saying that a rebellion would kill many people, and the survivors would have to deal with horrendous conditions. However, some people saw her act as defying the Capitol and are now threatening rebellion. Most people in the districts believe that Katniss' attempt at suicide was an act of insanity as she was overcome by her love of Peeta. He hints that he is aware there are romantic feelings between Katniss and Gale, which endanger the love story Peeta and Katniss have worked so hard to build and maintain.Īccording to Snow, at the end of the Games, when Katniss gave Peeta and herself poisonous berries to eat to commit suicide and ensure there were no victors, Katniss created a big problem for the Capitol. The way he lingers on her cousins tells Katniss that Snow does not believe Gale is her cousin, which was a lie concocted by District 12 during the Games so that Panem wouldn't view their friendship as a threat to Peeta and Katniss' supposed romance. He indirectly threatens her and Gale's families if she refuses to cooperate with him. Snow tells Katniss that things between them will be much easier if they agree to be truthful with one another. She is terrified of meeting him, and his stench of blood and roses nauseates her. His presence can only mean that she is in serious trouble. Katniss panics when she realizes President Snow has travelled all the way from the Capitol to District 12 and paid her a personal visit.
