@TheMelodramaClub I didn't, but I found it more disturbing and it resonated with me more. Like obviously it was awful seeing such an innocent, vulnerable girl die, and it's very symbolic to the story, but I feel like that is a common trope in a lot of books.
Meanwhile, Cato's death, and the way he is killed so brutally and so slowly, the way that in the end, the girl that he had hated and wanted to murder and had hunted down all this time, he was begging for her to kill him, that in that moment she was helping her and they were almost allies-
I think that's so much deeper, like when he's confronted by the violence and agony of the situation, he realises just how much they're used and how disgusting and awful this all is and he's just ready to die.
And in the end, it's his 'enemy' who is giving him his final peace, away from pain and not the Capitol at all. Idk if this rant makes any sense lmao, but I hope it does.
