Katniss Everdeen
Quote 1
"Even if you pull if off, they'll be back in another few months to take us all to the Games. You and Peeta, you'll be mentors now, every year from here on out. And every year they'll revisit the romance and broadcast the details of your private life, and you'll never, ever be able to do anything but live happily ever after with that boy." (3.73)
Here Haymitch helps Katniss realize exactly what she sentenced herself to with her Games strategy. Sure, pretending to be in love got her and Peeta through the Games – that was kind of a miracle in itself. But in order for the strategy to continue to work, they have to keep up the charade for as long as the Capitol watches over them. In other words, forever.
