The Hunger Games: 5 Most Inspirational Katniss Scenes (& 5 Where Fans Felt Sorry For Her) 

The Hunger Games is one of the most popular young adult series ever, but despite the veneer of the series as a romance, it’s really an extremely disturbing dystopian series.

As the protagonist, Katniss Everdeen goes through a lot of intense and traumatic things throughout the series, but she also has some of the most courageous and heroic moments, too. Here are some of her most inspiring scenes as well as the times fans felt bad for her.

10 Felt Sorry: Watching Gale get whipped by the Peacekeeper

Katniss’s relationship with Gale is rather complex as they’ve known each other for a long time. They are close friends, but there’s also some confusing romantic elements between them.

Katniss cares a lot about Gale even if she isn’t in love with him, so seeing him get whipped to the point of death by the Peacekeepers was extremely traumatic for her.

9 Inspirational: When she volunteered in Prim’s place

One of the most inspiring moments that Katniss has in the series is also one of the most iconic moments of anyone in these books. When Katniss volunteers to take Prim’s place as the District 12 tribute, it’s pretty unheard of.

It’s clear that Katniss loves her sister a lot and that she’s someone that will protect the people she cares about no matter the cost to herself.

8 Felt Sorry: Having to participate in the Quarter Quell

Given how traumatic it is to have to be in any Hunger Games, having to participate twice is unthinkable. To get back at Katniss for the rebellion she inspired, Snow ensures that she will have to participate in the Quarter Quell.

When Katniss learned that this would happen, it was devastating, and many fans were just as horrified as the characters.

7 Inspirational: Taking care of Peeta in the first games

In the first book, Peeta and Katniss don’t know each other that well, but they soon become allies. After Katniss discovers Peeta and sees how hurt he was from being stabbed by Cato, she does everything she can to save him and protect him.

This was an inspiring moment that was the start of their intense relationship, and it was also inspiring because it revealed the kind of person that Katniss is and how protective she is.

6 Felt Sorry: Seeing Cinna be killed in front of her

Katniss is no stranger to seeing death and traumatic things around her. Her father died when she was young, and then she witnessed the deaths in the Hunger Games when she was a tribute. However, one of the most horrible deaths she had to see was Cinna’s.

He was killed in front of her purposefully to make a point, and it was truly awful. Cinna was so important to Katniss and such a wonderful person that this death was especially hard.

5 Inspirational: Always showing up the Gamemakers

When Katniss is showing off her skills to the Gamemakers, they aren’t paying attention to her at all, but she makes her presence known by shooting an arrow past them and into the suckling pig on the table.

Then, during training for the Quarter Quell, she takes things even further by making a replica of Seneca Crane who was killed for messing up in the last games. These were great moments that showed that Katniss had a lot of fight in her.

4 Felt Sorry: When she couldn’t save Rue

One of the most dramatic and sad moments of the entire series is when Rue dies during the first games. Rue was so young and a representation of innocence in many ways, so her death impacted Katniss as well as fans.

Seeing Katniss honor her after she died was also an especially inspiring moment that showed Katniss’s compassion.

3 Inspirational: Doing her best to make sure Peeta survived and not her

After Katniss and Peeta are selected to participate in the Quarter Quell, Katniss decides that this time around it will be Peeta that has to survive.

She is determined to do everything to save Peeta, and she doesn’ care about making it out alive herself. While things don’t go according to her plan, her desire to protect Peeta was a courageous thing.

2 Felt Sorry: When Prim died just before the war ended

One of the saddest moments in the series is one that really brings home the horror of war and the collateral damage.

Everything Katniss did was because she tried to save her sister, so for Prim to die just before Snow’s mansion was taken over and the war ended was particularly gut-wrenching. This moment showed that there is no rhyme or reason to this kind of destruction.

1 Inspirational: All the times she took care of the people she cared about

Many of Katniss’s most inspiring moments revolve around the fact that she was always protecting others around her and how she tended to become a guardian for the weak. She was very heroic in this way, and she would always ally herself with people like Rue and Wiress even though others counted them out.

She clearly cared more about the goodness of a person over most other qualities.
