The firstHunger Gamesbook ( and thus the first movie as well ) was all about rivalries ( and of class Katniss come through the man create by a corrupt government and the adults around her ) . It makes gross sensation that people , like the public they dwell in , would clash with one another .

Throughout the serial relationships reflux and flow , enemies become friends and supporter become enemies . Katniss makes a lot of assumption about the people around her ( and often rightly so ) and they too make Assumption about her . However , some of these competition relationship always made a little more good sense than others . Here are the best and those which made no sense at all .

Best - Katniss and President Snow

This is the contention most of theHunger Gamestrilogy is based around . It make sodding horse sense that a teenager commit to her probable death would hate the valet most creditworthy for her torment . The rivalry obtain more interesting as the serial progresses and we get to see President Snow start to hate on Katniss as well .

In the rootage , the rivalry is a bit one - sided , Snow believing he ’s too powerful to care about any of the tributes as individuals . As he , like the viewer , begins to see Katniss as a paladin and a great symbolization of rebellion , their rivalry produce .

No Sense - Peeta and Gale

The moving-picture show seek to work up on it more than the book do , with Gale and Peeta in competition with each other for Katniss ’s affectionateness . But really , it ’s Katniss who pits them against one another in her mind , rather than their fighting one another in actual life .

As Gale enjoin in the book , speaking about how Katniss herself will ever choose between them ,   " Katniss will pluck whoever she thinks she ca n’t live without . " This is what she does , but the ball is always in Katniss ’s court , the male child are never really stacked against one another otherwise .

Best - Katniss and Cato

While this is one of the shorter - live rivalries in the series ( existing , for obvious reason , only inbookand movie one ) it makes a lot of sensation and facilitate set up a draw of latent hostility in the arena .

Cato is the male tribute from District Two in Katniss ’s first Hunger Games . He ’s a career tribute , having trained for the games and volunteered to take part . This sets him up as the polar opposite of Katniss , to begin with .

They are both talented in the game and both forge confederation , at one power point or another , with Peeta . It is n’t until the end that Cato actualize that he and Katniss have much in common , both pull a fast one on and manipulated by the world around them .

Sidious, Tyranus, Maul, and Vader.

No Sense - Katniss and Finnick

Finnick makes his coming into court in Holy Writ and movie two , Catching Fire . The former protection from District Four tries to make friends immediately . Katniss see him as a rival due to his popularity , his life history tribute position , and the number of gift he take in from admirers in The Capital . But Finnick is friendly with Katniss , he flirt with her on their first meeting .

Haymitch wants Finnick as an friend but Katniss , despite Finnick ’s acquirement , resist . She ’s just realise things harder for herself and it takes Haymitch sneak his bracelet to Finnick , to make Katniss see reason .

Best - Haymitch and Effie

This rivalry is great just because it ’s play to learn about and follow . The two have very unlike styles , literally , in make District Twelve tributes for the games .

Haymitch at first does n’t even manage , and Effie cares too much . It take both of their growing bonds with protection , Peeta and Katniss , to finally bring them together to turn as a squad for the welfare of both teenagers . As Katniss and President Snow ’s rivalry grow throughout the serial publication , it ’s decent to watch Haymitch and Effie ’s fall apart over the same clip .

No Sense - Katniss and Effie

Katniss , particularly in the beginning , does n’t understand that she and Effie do in fact require the same thing . She hate Effie because of where she comes from and how she take care ( and how she require Katniss to search ) but they both desire Katniss to survive .

Maybe , in the starting time , they each want Katniss to survive for very different reasons , but it does n’t exchange the fact that the goal they are both aiming for is the same . look at what achiever might have been available had Katniss been capable to mind to Effie as a mortal and not just an " date " .

Best - Katniss and President Coin

Katniss certainly has a matter for get into difficulty with President of the United States . Her rivalry with Coin begins as a dewy-eyed power conflict , Coin want more from Katniss than the traumatized teenager is willing to give , but it grows into a struggle for the ideals of a raw world .

Their relationship is particularly interesting because it begins as sort of apathetic , and with Katniss in Coin ’s debt for her delivery and protection . But as Katniss contend out of her cringe their rivalry grows until it explode on the home stage .

No Sense - Katniss and Peeta

Even though Peeta is always genial to Katniss , and is always vindicated that they are on the same squad , it for sure takes Katniss a retentive time to come to the same conclusion . She see them as rivals for the same attention , the same talent , the same backing .

If she ’d paid more attention she ’d have seen they were n’t actually competition , that Peeta was , in fact , a welfare to her . But Katniss was never large at reading people , which is why she thinks she has so many more rival than she actually does .

Best - Katniss and Johanna Mason

Katniss sees Johanna as a rival for survival in the Quarter Quell , and for obvious reason . As Katniss enunciate in the books , she think Johanna had a " wicked power to murder " . She cultivates her raging personality in the grooming way and on the interview stagecoach , building up the thought in Katniss ’s nous that she is a literal threat .

Katniss is right to occupy about Johanna , which is why it realise it so much more satisfying when she brings   Beetee and Wiress to Katniss as a mansion of practiced faith and an alliance . It ’s always fun to know a competition has been cultivated on purpose .

No Sense - Katniss and her Mom

Katniss has problem with her mammy , it ’s allowed . What teenager does n’t have trouble with their mother ? But the direction she bring against her female parent , the style she vie with her mother for her sister Prim ’s affection is a little much .

reader and TV audience understand her female parent ’s limits and Katniss ’s touch sensation , but should she really be competing with her mother ? No . And in the closing , at least , they do agnize they eff and depend on one another .
