What happened to Gale Hawthorne after the events of the Hunger Games movie franchise? Actor Liam Hemsworth portrayed the character until the series ended with the fourth installment, The Hunger Games: Mockingjay — Part 2. The movies were based on the book series by author Suzanne Collins. The pair, who lived in District 12, spent a lot of their time hunting illegally to provide food for their families. Like Katniss, Gale lost his father in a mining accident so he had no choice but to step up for his widowed mother and his three younger siblings.
Secretly, Gale was in love with Katniss and it crushed him when she volunteered for the 74th Hunger Games. He notably saved nearly a thousand people during the bombing of his home before he became a fearless leader in District 13's rebellion.
Katniss was stuck in a love triangle with Gale and Peeta Josh Hutcherson for most of the Hunger Games movie franchise. Despite the fact that she fully didn't reciprocate his feelings, Gale remained completely loyal to Katniss. He assisted in Peeta's dangerous rescue attempt from the Capitol and fought by Katniss' side until the end of the war. However, after Katniss' sister, Prim Willow Shields , was killed in an explosion from a device that Gale invented, the relationship with his long-time best friend quickly deteriorated.
She is, after all, the one who teaches Katniss the Mockingjay song and how to use it in the Arena. Mockingjay, Part 2 might have the one death to top Rue's, though, which brings us to the first, and arguably most heartbreaking, character death in the movie:. That's right. Prim, the sister Katniss sacrificed herself to protect when she first volunteered to participate in the Games, dies in the final battle against the Capitol in Mockingjay, Part 2.
Over the course of the revolution, Prim became a healer, like her mother, and insisted on entering the field during the final battle. She was rushing over to help an injured child when a bomb exploded and killed her.
Prim's death devastates Katniss and ends up being the deciding moment in the love triangle between Katniss, Peeta and Gale, as it is believed that the bomb that killed Prim was designed by Gale. I know what you're thinking: Finnick is too pretty to die. You're right.
He is also way too awesome. Finnick is yet another casualty of the final fight in the Capitol. He dies in the tunnels on the way to President Snow's mansion when the Star Squad is attacked by a pack of mutts. While Gale is clearly in love with Katniss, she remains conflicted by her feelings for both Gale and Peeta, as well as her own sense of unyielding independence, until the end of Mockingjay when she realizes.
At the end of Catching Fire , Katniss notes that Gale would never keep secrets from her, right before he informs her that District 12 has been destroyed. However, this implicit trust is challenged as Gale withholds information and opinions from Katniss in Mockingjay.
Even though these lies by omission are due to concern for her mental well-being, Katniss feels betrayed. Gale himself continues to suffer from Katniss' relationship with Peeta on-camera and apparent ambiguity off-camera, where she tends to string along the both of them.
Regardless, Katniss continues to be very possessive over Gale's loyalties and constantly requires his support in order to fulfill her role in the war. In Mockingjay , Katniss and Gale's relationship continues to become more romantic but also more complex. The relative simplicity of hunting to stave off starvation is replaced with something not so straight forward: war. Even as they work together to overthrow the Capitol a chasm seems to grow between them as their ideals and morals clash.
Gale's 'win at all costs' mentality, which was evident before in his words, are actually being put into practice. However, Katniss is still clinging to the hope of winning the war with limited casualties and some sense of morality, as Peeta would have done. In the end, it is Gale's conviction in the necessity of sacrifice pitted against Katniss' moral incoherence that truly severs any relationship they had or could ever have.
Primrose, Katniss' sister, is killed by a firebomb that may have been designed by Gale. Even though the order to use the bombs was given by President Coin , Katniss cannot bring herself to forgive Gale for his creation and his role in Prim's death, and effectively shuts him out of her life. Katniss returns to District 12, whereas Gale lives in District 2, working 'a fancy job,' according to Katniss.
Katniss concludes that she needs Peeta, not Gale, to survive, because in the end, she and Gale are simply too alike. They are both full of fire, motivated largely by anger and vengefulness, and Katniss cannot maintain a sense of peace and self-worth as long as she is too exposed to that truth. Gale is neither truly friends nor enemies with Peeta Mellark though he has felt jealous of Peeta due to the show that Peeta and Katniss put on for the cameras.
In Catching Fire , Peeta knew Katniss had feelings for him and fully accepted that he would allow Katniss to be with Gale if it meant her happiness. When Gale was being whipped, Peeta tried to help him and protect Katniss. Later, when Gale helped Katniss, Peeta and Haymitch train in preparation for the Quell, he confessed to Katniss that Peeta was not easy to hate. In the arena Peeta gave Katniss a locket with a picture of Gale actually smiling; Peeta wanted her to be with him so she could be happy.
In Mockingjay , Gale volunteered first to be on the squad to break into the Capitol and retrieve Peeta from prison. It is unknown whether he did this for Katniss or because of genuine concern for Peeta. After Peeta's rescued and Katniss goes to District 2 because she can no longer be around the hijacked Peeta, Gale tells her that he's watched Peeta through the glass.
He tells her that he knows that if Peeta never recovered, Katniss would always feel wrong being with Gale because of her feelings for Peeta. Later Mockingjay , while they hide in a safe house, Katniss wakes to a hushed conversation between Gale and Peeta about her. When Gale wishes that he had volunteered in place of Peeta when his name was reaped, Peeta reminds him that he couldn't, that Katniss needed him to take care of her family.
When Peeta wonders how Katniss would choose between them, Gale tells him that Katniss would choose the person she could not survive without. Katniss is offended and annoyed by this comment and suppresses her feelings for both of them in response, but she later realized Gale was partially right. After Prim's death, Gale leaves voluntarily because neither of them can avoid the matter of Prim's death having been caused by Gale's invention, with Katniss letting him go without a word.
Katniss subsequently grows back together with Peeta, whom she finds she loves again now that he is recovered from his hijacking. Gale and Prim seemed to have a good relationship, through Gale's best friend and Prim's sister, Katniss. Gale carried Prim away from the reaping after Katniss volunteered, and was shown to be comforting Mrs. Everdeen and Prim. Also, he promised Katniss that he would feed her family when she was in the arena, and he showed remorse at her death in Mockingjay.
Of course, there was some debate over whether he made the bomb that killed her. Beetee and Gale spent a lot of time working on weapons in District It is assumed they got along well as they shared similar sanguine views on fighting and the war.
It is believed, though not confirmed, that they helped design the bomb that President Coin used to kill the Capitol children and Primrose Everdeen, who stood outside President Snow's house. In The Hunger Games , Gale was not yet working in the coal mines, and was mainly supporting his family through tesserae and the money and meat he made from poaching illegally in the woods that surrounding District By Catching Fire , Gale had turned nineteen and was working in the coal mines.
This gave a little more money, but left him less time to hunt. He still made time to hunt on Sundays with Katniss. This job took the place of the tesserae, because he is no longer eligible for the Hunger Games, but did not help his family in finances. His poaching was stopped in Catching Fire , after Katniss and Gale got into a heated argument. Gale was caught with a fresh turkey when he went to sell it at the Head Peacekeeper, Cray's, home.
Unknown to Gale and the rest of the community, Cray had been replaced by another cruel Head Peacekeeper, Thread. Gale was forced to admit his guilt and was then whipped horribly. Peeta was with Katniss when the two witnessed Gale's whipping. Peeta had told Katniss to leave when he saw the scene, knowing full well that Katniss would try to stop Thread but even with his warning, Katniss rushed to Gale's aid, getting lashed in the face herself in the process.
Peeta and Haymitch had to step in before Thread could hurt Katniss more. The whipping was soon brought to an end and Gale was rushed to Katniss' mother for medical treatment.
Katniss was by Gale's side during the treatment and kissed him, which brought Gale back to consciousness. Katniss then decides that Gale is the one she will love. Both Katniss and Gale had to stop their treks into the woods when the new Peacekeeper decides, just to be safe, to run constant electricity through the fence that surrounds the woods so that no one can get in or out. At the beginning of Mockingjay , he works particularly closely with Beetee, designing weaponry for District 13, and later goes in as a soldier on the ground to assassinate President Snow.
Gale eventually moves to District 2, where he currently lives and continues working for the military. Gale enjoys a good laugh when he is with his best friend, Katniss. He can be easy to anger, and often it is Katniss who keeps it under control. He became angry when Madge Undersee said she wanted to look her best if she gets reaped.
He became angry because she is more wealthy than most people in District 12 and doesn't have to face what he and everyone else must. Gale hated the Capitol more than most people, even in the worst districts. During his time in District 12, he frequently complained about the unjust political situation in Panem and the tyranny of the Capitol, in contrast to Katniss, who was taught by her mother to hold her tongue.
Throughout the books, Gale mentions several times that he feels that a rebellion would be better than just doing what the Capitol wanted. Unlike Katniss, Gale believed in the idea of victory at any cost. He clashed with her over the way the rebellion should be fought. Where she wanted to save as many lives as possible at the risk of defeat, he wanted them to sacrifice a few lives so that they can insure victory.
Katniss tries to think in short-term, while Gale thinks in long-term, about how best to preserve life in Panem. This ruthlessness, combined with his hatred for the Capitol causes him to become a leading figure in the rebellion and to come up with new combat tactics while in District Unfortunately, it is also this personality that eventually costs him his relationship with Katniss.
Gale often thinks in black and white terms, meaning something is either wrong or right and rarely does he see a grey area. He is angered that Katniss worries for her prep team when they are held captive as they are from the Capitol, and so are the 'enemy' even though they are relatively innocent.
Gale also had a very idealistic personality. When he believed in something that was being challenged he wouldn't hesitate to fight for it. It is later said by Katniss that Gale's fire, his passion, and personality, was very similar to her own; however, hers was always more controlled.
He often accompanied Katniss when she did appearances as the Mockingjay, fighting when they came under attack. He also is the first to volunteer for the mission to save Peeta, though whether this is for Katniss or himself is not known. Gale is an expert at snares and strategy. He has known about snares since the first time he went into the woods.
He has been able to catch many animals in his snares, which has been helpful for him and his family. Gale taught Katniss about basic snares, which came in handy during the Hunger Games.
Later, he is able to transfer his skill in snares into a skill in designing military weapons and tactics. Gale is also able to use a bow and arrow , though he is not as accurate or fast as Katniss.
He is able to shoot from a certain distance and it takes him a little longer to shoot, but he is proficient enough to hunt and defend himself. He is able to kill animals with his skill. In Mockingjay, Gale uses a Crossbow in the place of a normal Bow. The Crossbow looks very futuristic and is probably designed by Beetee, like Katniss' Bow. It's likely that Gales' Crossbow uses three different kinds of arrows, just like the Bow of Katniss, but only one kind of arrow is seen in Mockingjay Part 1: The Explosive Arrows.
Gale single-handedly supports his three younger siblings, Rory, Vick, and Posy, and his mother, Hazelle. His father died in the same mine accident as Katniss' father did. Gale originally supported his family by illegally hunting and applying for extra tesserae a small supply of grain and oil. As of Catching Fire , when he is too old for the Games, he works in the same mines as his father used to, twelve hours a day, with only Sundays off.
Even though Katniss wants to help him, he refuses every coin she offers. He does allow Katniss to bring in game from hunts that he can no longer join, but expresses antagonism towards this arrangement as well.
Katniss and her family are just like family to him, as they look out for each other and share many things in common.
