Mockingjay	comment	Mockingjay is the third and final book in the The Hunger Games trilogy by Suzanne Collins. It was adapted into two films, The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1 in 2014 and The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2 in 2015.Following the events of Catching Fire, Katniss is struggling to overcome her trauma of being in the Games, coupled with her separation from Peeta, as well as the destruction of District 12, forcing hundreds of people, herself included, to seek refuge in the fabled District 13. All the while, Katniss is reluctantly groomed to become the voice of the rebellion, as the Thirteen Districts rise up against the Capitol, throwing Panem into a civil war.Character tropes for this book can be found here.

Mockingjay / int_4f6cf75	type	Mirroring Factions
Mockingjay / int_4f6cf75	comment	Mirroring Factions: District 13 is at first depicted in the story as La RÃ©sistance, since it is the only large scale organization opposing President Snow and The Capitol. As Katniss begins to work with them, she encounters propaganda from Snow and Brainwashed and Crazy Peeta that paints District 13 as a terrorist organization, which forces District 13 to invoke Your Terrorists Are Our Freedom Fighters. However, the idealistic black-and-white image of the struggle is eroded over time as District 13 begins to care less about the safety of innocents around them and willing to sacrifice them for the sake of their victory, leading to a more Black-and-Grey Morality. By the book's end, when Katniss is given the task of publicly executing President Snow after District 13 takes control of The Capitol, she instead kills the leader of District 13 President Coin, as she had just announced using the children from the Capitol in a new Hunger Games as a form of punishment, indicating that District 13 had become The Capitol 2.0. In the epilogue, Katniss has decided to live in the empty remains of her home district with husband Peeta and their 2 kids, rather than be further involved with the new government.

It fails. Implied to have been done to Prim and the other medics in order to eliminate Katniss as a political threat. Possibly done to Boggs and the rest of the Star Squad in the lead up to the traps that got most of them killed. While Boggs does trip the first mine on accident, the ensuing traps and the capital alert to their location may have been tipped off in hindsight by Coin who either way managed to exploit it to her advantage on TV.

And while District 13 as a whole is far more egalitarian and liberation focused than the Capitol, President Coin is not, as she is already planning on hosting her own Hunger Games to punish The Capitol despite promising to rid Panem of the games entirely. Katniss can see where this is all heading and not only kills Coin instead of Snow, she ultimately self-exiles herself to the remains of District 12 with Peeta and their two kids.

Mockingjay / int_72e0023f	comment	Invoked when Finnick takes a trident to war. A trident that he can throw. Tridents are weapons made for spearing and catching things; they are not ideal for killing in a quick-fire situation (though it is certainly possible to kill with one) because things killed with tridents are meant primarily to stick on the prongs. As for throwing, tridents simply aren't balanced for that at all. This is purposeful: Finnick, like Katniss, was in the Star Squad and was not intended to be fighting on the front lines. As someone who is famous for fighting with a trident, they probably just wanted him to have it to be recognizable, the same way Katniss didn't have to get a military haircut and brought her bow. The only time we ever hear of him using it after that point is when he's fighting in close combat against mutant lizards. Otherwise, he's implied to use his gun.

She also picks Buttercup up by the scruff of his neck without supporting his rump. He's a grown tom cat. Any pet owner will tell you that is a humongous no-no. And after Buttercup is forced into a bag, he allows Prim to tie a ribbon around his neck and hold him in her arms. After being bagged? Both of these actions would probably cause a cat a great deal of distress (possibly causing the animal to retaliate in violence) in real life.

Mockingjay / int_9afa05c7	comment	Family-Unfriendly Death: The pods crank this trope up to eleven. One of them is called "The Meat Grinder," which should tell you enough. President Snow tries to inflict one of these on Katniss. By brainwashing the boy who loves her, and she's fallen love with in return, into wanting to kill her because he fears she will kill him. Imagine finally being reunited with someone you love and thinking your reunion is going to be super happy only to find that person's hands around your throat trying to strangle you.

Mockingjay / int_9d12bbc1	type	Foreshadowing
Mockingjay / int_9d12bbc1	comment	Foreshadowing: When Katniss is listing the conditions under which she'll consent to be the Mockingjay, one of her demands is that she and Gale be allowed to hunt in the woods. Plutarch starts to mention how dangerous it is, but Coin cuts him off and immediately agrees to it, despite arguing with almost every other point Katniss makes. Because she already sees Katniss as a threat to her power, and Katniss dying in the woods during a hunt would be a very convenient way for that threat to disappear. There's a scene where Gale and Beetee show Katniss their compassion-based bombing tactic. Later, Katniss sees the same tactic in use, killing her sister. Johanna, who had been denied clearance to participate in the siege of the Capital, forces Katniss to swear on her family's life (knowing that Katniss does not value her own that much) that she will kill Snow. Prim is killed at the tail end of her sister's failed assassination mission, just in time for Katniss to watch. After Katniss fails to execute Snow (aiming instead for Coin out of revenge for her role in her sister's death), Katniss's mother leaves to spend the rest of her days mourning in a different district while Katniss is soft-exiled to 12, leaving Katniss alone.

Both District 13 and the Capitol have nukes trained on each other, but mutually assured destruction of all humanity keeps them both at bay, especially since the human race is now so small that wiping out the Capitol would endanger it and most members of District 13 are sterile.

Mockingjay / int_a6b14ee1	type	Hollywood Tactics
Mockingjay / int_a6b14ee1	comment	Hollywood Tactics: All over the place, and frequently invoked because the main characters are usually supposed to be making propaganda instead of actually fighting. Beetee was even told to design Katniss a weapon based entirely on looks, despite having access to perfectly practical weapons, because she wasn't supposed to be involved in real combat. The squad she is in is not a combat squad, but a propaganda unit making staged videos. At one point, Katniss is confused who gives the orders, the military man Boggs or the video director Cressida, only for it to become immediately clear that Cressida did call the shots. Katniss takes point immediately after being promoted to leader of her squad. In real life, a squad leader never takes point, since the point man is the one most likely to die in an ambush, and the squad leader is someone you don't want to lose. This is partially justified, since she's supposed to be on a secret mission, and she realizes it would look suspicious if she doesn't know where to go. Invoked when Finnick takes a trident to war. A trident that he can throw. Tridents are weapons made for spearing and catching things; they are not ideal for killing in a quick-fire situation (though it is certainly possible to kill with one) because things killed with tridents are meant primarily to stick on the prongs. As for throwing, tridents simply aren't balanced for that at all. This is purposeful: Finnick, like Katniss, was in the Star Squad and was not intended to be fighting on the front lines. As someone who is famous for fighting with a trident, they probably just wanted him to have it to be recognizable, the same way Katniss didn't have to get a military haircut and brought her bow. The only time we ever hear of him using it after that point is when he's fighting in close combat against mutant lizards. Otherwise, he's implied to use his gun.
