Peeta and Katniss's love story is central to the Hunger Games movies, but how does their relationship change across the franchise's instalments?
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT While Peeta and Katniss’s relationship in The Hunger Games movies might be the most important love story in the series, it is a complicated one that includes a lot of twists and turns. The Hunger Games' characters live in a dystopian future where the titular annual event takes place and sees 24 children fight to the death for the entertainment of television viewers.
The Hunger Games - Peeta and Katniss Meet In The Hunger Games, Peeta and Katniss first meet when he takes pity on her and throws her a loaf of bread from his bakery. The pair don’t learn each other's names, but Katniss never forgets this act of kindness. When Katniss is selected for The Hunger Games, Peeta is chosen as the male tribute from her district.
However, before Katniss can contend with this possibility, she and Peeta are hit with a shocking revelation. The next Hunger Games will see past participants kill each other, a ploy that would allow Panem’s leaders to control Peeta and Katniss’s influence over the masses. While Haymitch won the 50th Hunger Games, this 75th Hunger Games promises to be even more brutal than ever. Worse still, it would pit Peeta and Katniss against each other in a fight to the death.
Thus, in Mockingjay Part 1, Peeta becomes a villain as he turns on Katniss, attempting to kill her when they are reunited. Peeta forgets all that he knows about Katniss and Katniss realizes all too late that she did love him after all. This doesn’t help Peeta regain his memory, but Katniss commits to re-establishing the connection that the pair shared. She deprograms her brainwashed love interest after he is saved from the Capital.
