Who Does Katniss Choose? Why Katniss Does Not Choose Gale or Peeta. Katniss is meant to end up with Peeta, and even though I make the argument that he is manipulative and that there is more to him than meets the eye, even I can recognize that Katniss was meant to end up with him or at least that she was written to.

By the rules of writing, character development, and overall themes, and by the lead- up through the trilogy, Katniss should make a choice. Katniss should make one choice that she has full say in and has control over and that leads to something other than heartache, manipulation, exploitation, and tragedy and what other area or what better area than for her to have it in her personal life? After everything she has been through, after spending most of the trilogy as a pawn, and after everything the trilogy builds on between her and Peeta, why should she not have a say in who she gets to share the rest of her life with and who she gets to grow, heal, learn, cope, and hope with? Why does she not get a say even if her choice is not Peeta? But because Collins wrote that scene between Gale and Peeta, Katniss can never choose Peeta even though that would be who she would have chosen based on how the story was written. Because if Katniss chooses Peeta, then what Gale said is true and Katniss is the cold, calculating, unfeeling, and survival- focused person that Gale made her out to be and the person she chose to be with would be the person that she thought she could not survive without (regardless of whether she chose Peeta or Gale). And if Collins had Katniss make a choice between Peeta and Gale after the conversation that Gale and Peeta had had, then she too would have been confirming that that was indeed who Katniss was and that would be the Katniss that she would be closing the trilogy with. Since ultimately that is not who Katniss is and that is not who Collins made Katniss to be, and since Collins felt that the scene between Gale and Peeta discussing Katniss' choice was necessary to the story, Katniss can never choose between Gale and Peeta. Gale is indirectly involved in the killing of Prim and Katniss and him part ways. No anger, no development. Just conveniently and easily out of the story because he was not the one Katniss was supposed to end up with. And Peeta comes back to Katniss. No growth, no development, no journey. Just something close to a flatline ending that can be argued to be varying levels of hopeful, realistic, and bleak.
