There Are Some Really Sad Endings - Tumblr Posts

Peeta having to ask Katniss - after being married and having kids for years at this point - if she loves him, because the brainwashing and trauma is so deep rooted and irreversible, keeps me up at night.

It is by far one of the most tragic stories I have ever read or heard of. You shouldn't have to fear the woman you love, the mother of your children, because the government tried to use you as a weapon against your will.

People seem to miss that point whenever they talk about the books and movies. It's never been a happy ending for any of them. Peeta brainwashed, Katniss traumatised and exiled, their kids growing up and playing on top of mass graves and Haymitch going back to being a lonely alcoholic. To name a few.

All that fighting, and for what?
