How does the rebellion against the Capitol begin?

Katniss and Peeta's Victory in the 74th Hunger Games:

  • Katniss and Peeta's dual victory in the 74th Hunger Games, achieved through an act of defiance where they both threatened to consume poisonous berries rather than kill each other, becomes a spark of hope for the districts. The act challenges the Capitol's control and captivates the nation, planting the seeds of rebellion.

Victory Tour:

  • Katniss and Peeta embark on the Victory Tour, visiting each district as victors. During the tour, Katniss senses growing unrest and dissent among the districts' populations. The tour becomes a platform for the districts to express their discontent and defiance against the Capitol.

President Snow's Threats:

  • President Snow interprets Katniss and Peeta's act of defiance as a potential catalyst for rebellion. He pays a visit to Katniss and issues veiled threats against her loved ones, warning her to continue the romantic facade with Peeta or face dire consequences.

Quarter Quell Announcement:

  • The announcement of the Quarter Quell for the 75th Hunger Games, which involves selecting tributes from the pool of previous victors, further inflames tensions. The Capitol's decision to subject past victors to the Games is seen as a punitive measure and adds fuel to the growing discontent.

Katniss and Peeta's Return to the Arena:

  • Katniss and Peeta are forced back into the arena for the Quarter Quell, sparking outrage among their supporters. The blatant manipulation by the Capitol strengthens the resolve of those who oppose its rule.

Rescue of Tributes by District 13:

  • The rebellion gains momentum when the tributes, including Katniss and Peeta, are rescued by the elusive District 13, which was thought to be destroyed. The existence of District 13 and its defiance against the Capitol becomes a rallying point for rebels.

District Uprisings:

  • The tributes' escape and the revelation of District 13's survival inspire various districts to rise up against the Capitol. District by district, rebellions begin to erupt, with citizens taking to the streets to express their defiance.

Mockingjay as a Symbol:

  • Katniss, now positioned as the Mockingjay, becomes a symbol of the rebellion. Her actions, appearances in propaganda broadcasts, and her role in inspiring defiance contribute to the uprising's momentum.
