The Hunger Games series included three novels and four films. It consumed readers and viewers alike with its gripping and insane storyline of a dystopian world. It followed complex, loveable characters and shone a light on their tragic reality and district rebellion.
Both the films and the novels were filled with moments of foreshadowing, connected quotes, parallel scenes, and tiny important details that were easy to miss the first time around.
10 Dressing For The Capitol
In The Hunger Games, Katniss's mother puts out a dress for her to wear to the reaping. Katniss stands in front of the mirror and her mother comments on how beautiful she looks. In Mockingjay: Part 2, Katniss stands in front of another mirror wearing her Mockingjay outfit. Effie stands behind her and says she looks lovely. The first time and last time Katniss is being dressed show her character development and her determination.
9 Peeta's Hope
In The Hunger Games, Peeta tells Katniss, "I just don't want them to change me. Turn me into something I'm not. I just don't want to be another piece in their game, you know?"
Unfortunately for Peeta, this is exactly what happened to him when the Capitol imprisoned him after the Quarter Quell. The Capitol took control of his mind, changed his memories, and turned him into a weapon to kill Katniss Everdeen.
8 The Hanging Tree
In Mockingjay, Katniss sings "The Hanging Tree." The lyrics go on to describe several of the relationships and scenarios within the films. Katniss singing in the promo aligns the lyrics, "Where a dead man called out, for his love to flee," with Peeta calling out to Katniss about District 13 during his interview. "Where I told you to run, so we'd both be free," relates to both Katniss and Peeta; Peeta's desire to save her and Katniss's desire to save Peeta from their horrible fates, and Katniss and Gale; their desire to take to the woods with their families and leave everything behind. This is if the lyrics are taken literally. The real interpretation is far darker.
7 Finnick's Fighting Scenes
The victor from District 4, the fishing district, is skilled in water combat. And this would be the way he died. In The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, Finnick came to the rescue and is seen in all his glory, wielding his trident and fighting off monkey mutts in the water.
In The Hunger Games: Mockingjay, Finnick is in the Capitol tunnels when Snow unleashes humanoid lizard mutts. And there he is again, in water combat, with his trident, with Katniss and Peeta, just as they were in the Quarter Quell.
6 Cinna's Mockingjay Dress Design
In The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, Cinna asks Katniss, "any plans for your interview?" in which she responds, "this year I'm just winging it." As Katniss, the Capitol, and audience members later learn, her wedding gown transforms into a Mockingjay after she twirls. This is the literal interpretation of "winging it." A sneaky piece of foreshadowing easily missed on the first read.
5 Haymitch's Hunger Games Victory
In the Catching Fire novel, Peeta and Katniss watched the tape of the 50th Hunger Games. They learned that Haymitch used a hidden force field in the arena's design to win. He drew his opponent to the cliff edge. She threw her axe at him and it fell into the abyss. She died when it flung back and struck her. The force field is also mentioned when Beetee and Wiress tell Katniss about the gleam in the training room. Katniss uses the force field to break the arena, finding the flaw and breaking the system. She too uses the Capitol's own technology against them.
4 Rue's Death
A small moment foreshadowing Rue's death can be found in The Hunger Games novel. Katniss describes her first encounter with Rue in the training center. "I throw my spear, which I'm not too bad at actually, if I don't have to throw too far, and see the little girl from District 11 standing back a bit, watching us." The scene where Rue dies is described as, "She just has time to reach her hand through the mesh and say my name before the spear enters her body."
3 Double Bombing Tactic
Before viewers heard Gale and Beetee's conversation concerning bombing strategy, they experienced the moment Prim told Katniss the news of her medic training. Then the bombing strategy was revealed. A weapon that took advantage of human nature and the desire to help. It was then that the dots connected. It was even before the Capitol citizens were attacked, even before Katniss screamed Prim's name. It had been established that Prim was going to die.
2 Foxface's Survival Skills
During tribute training in the 74th Hunger Games, Foxface can be seen practicing her plant identification. She looks proficient, quickly matching their images on a giant touch screen. In the arena, however, it is shown that Foxface died by eating Nightlock berries.
Could she have eaten the poisonous berries on purpose? "I find that if I can apply myself to the situation present, I will be able to figure it out." Did she think the odds were stacked against her? Or was it a simple mistake made by trusting another tribute's foraging skills?
1 Katniss & Peeta's Future
In The Hunger Games: Catching Fire novel, Katniss unknowingly describes the very end scene of the series. "As I drift off, I try to imagine that world, somewhere in the future, with no Games, no Capitol. A place like the meadow in the song I sang to Rue as she died. Where Peeta's child could be safe." The Mockingjay book and movie do indeed end with Katniss, Peeta, and their children in a meadow with no Game and no Capitol.
