MOCKINGJAY- HUNGER GAMES 3

 

Starting off where it left, Katniss returns again with the calculations of loss, her revenge as a deranged hermit. After the Quarter Quell, we see a different Mockinjay facing her past and her present altogether while sacrificing her future for Peeta who hasn’t been since they had been taken away. All the districts have been in rebellion and when she walks through her district where everything has changed into ashes, a prominent thing evokes fear yet becomes one of the steps in taking the decision to become the ‘Mockingjay’.

Placing a few conditions, the last condition she places is not received with criticism but rather a grin that captures all of them. The further accomplices of hers and different memories revoked by them sets out a poignant sense of survival and seriousness. But when Peeta is rescued by Gale and others, all he does it to grab Katniss’s throat!

In the last instalment of Hunger Games, Susanne Collins explores more humanism, emotions, decisions and a pinch of revenge than the enthralling moments of the first two instalments. But this final part gives the franchise a desired finale, resolving everything we would wish to see as a human even though a few boxes remained unticked. The character growth and the reasons behind each of them become a chill down the spine when they all prepare for the last move. A few withers in the scorching heat yet what remains a hardcore example is Prim whom the author justifies as the product of her mother father, herself and a pinch of Prim itself who has become her unasked or unappointed solace. Adding Buttercup too.

The mechanical use of thrilling elements seems to bore you at times but even when that is initiated, compensation arises from the other corner with more bloodshed and loss of life where you feel it may be necessary and unnecessary. With your emotions being revoked, you can feel your heart accelerating deep and fast. Slow yet unsteady in its pace, it does not offer any logical explanation to the reader. With the ending always being a question, the end does offer pretty answers but also bashes us with a harsh reality that the next generation of Katniss faces.
