FAQ About The Hunger Games
Why does Katniss become the Mockingjay?
The Mockingjay, a symbol derived from the pin that Madge Undersee gave Katniss in the first book, becomes a powerful emblem of rebellion. The bird is associated with defiance against the Capitol and is an inspiration for those who resist oppression.
District 13 and the rebel leaders recognize Katniss's potential as a propaganda tool. Her status as a victor from the Hunger Games, coupled with her act of rebellion in the previous Games, makes her a compelling figure to rally the districts against the Capitol.
