IM GETTING A HAIRCUT

Hunger Games Theory about Johanna Mason

I have a theory I only realised recently (and maybe it's a stretch, but I think it's fascinating to think about):

We know a lot of the first names from the districts relate in some way to their district industry. But what about surnames? It's not as common, but we see some instances: the Trinket family in the Capitol, or let's look at Plinth in District 2, for example. What is a plinth? A sort of column, typically of carved stone. What is District 2's industry? *Masonry*. You know who else has a surname related to *Masonry*? Right, Johanna Mason.

So knowing District 2 trains & supplies a notable amount of Peacekeepers, it doesn't seem like too much of a stretch to think someone from 2 with the surname 'Mason' may have become a Peacekeeper. In any case it seems like an odd name for someone from the lumber district. So my theory is that a Peacekeeper from 2 was stationed in District 7, fell in love with a girl there & had a daughter who they named Johanna.

Now, we know that the rules for Peacekeepers forbid marriage & having children. We also know there's been more than one rigged reaping. So I think Johanna's father was a Peacekeeper from 2 & she was purposefully reaped to punish him for breaking the rules.

HOWEVER, this theoretical father would have a) known he broke the rules of the Capitol, & b) been trained in combat as a peacekeeper. Katniss states people in 12 don't go into the mines until they are 19 so that they never have the chance to learn how to use a pickaxe BEFORE being reaped for the games to put them at a disadvantage. So are girls in District 7 usually chopping lumber at 13, 14, 15? I'm not so sure. So Johanna could have been trained to fight by her father with the most inconspicuous weapon available in 7: an axe. Johanna received a TWO for her training score; Katniss says this was a trick to appear weak to her opponents, but what if it was also to hide the fact she had combat training from the Gamemakers/Capitol?

Well, the plan to reap Johanna to punish her father backfired spectacularly on the Capitol when she revealed she could fight & ended up winning the games. So while I do think part of the reason they killed everyone close to Johanna is because she resisted being trafficked by the Capitol, if this theory were true they would have also killed them to make Johanna pay for winning the games when she was supposed to die as punishment for her father...

IM SOBBING CRYING THROWING UP

"You're not going home, Silka."

I will kill her, and Snow will kill me.

These Games will have no victor.

The Fortune-Teller does not deserve the hate it has received. It's actually a great episode that people misunderstand. Let me explain.

Kataangers love the episode for it says Katara is destined to be with Aang. Zutarians hate the episode for this reason along with forcing Katara into a pigeon hole. I stand between these warring tribes and say that they are both wrong.

To be clear, I am a Zutarian. If we would've had a Book 4 like the head writer had intended, this episode would've been integral for that book.

"But the 3-act story structure!" some may argue. A 3-act story structure is just a 4-act story structure in disguise.

Anyways, let's continue.

The destiny that Aunt Wu foretells does not give names and is vague in nature. She tells Katara that she is to be married to a powerful bender. She didn't say the most powerful nor did she say bender of all four elements. One doesn't have to be the Avatar to be a powerful bender.

Come Aang's fortune, she foretold of a great battle between good and evil that will determine the fate of the world. We immediately think of Aang battling Firelord Ozai to end the 100 year war. However, this fortune is vague and could foretell another battle after Ozai has fallen.

When Aunt Wu learns that Aang wants to learn about his future about love, she cheers him up by giving him a vague, seemingly harmless white lie to satisfy him. "Follow your heart and you will be with the one you love." Since Aang is 12, he can easily misconstrue infatuation for love.

I believe The Fortune-Teller is a giant red herring that many people in both Zutara and Kataang sectors have fallen for. But wait, what is a red herring?

In literature, a red herring is a device to throw the characters and the audience off the scent of future events. It's meant to distract and deceive.

At the end of The Fortune-Teller, Katara believes she is destined to be with Aang and Aang believes it as well. Throughout the remainder of the series, Katara's emotional bond with Aang is challenged. Then by The Ember Island Players, Katara is confused, unsure about her feelings, unsure about her destiny.

What other character struggled with his perception of his destiny?

For the majority of the series, Zuko falsely believed that his destiny was to hunt down the Avatar and regain his honor. We know that this destiny was forced upon him by his father, Ozai.

But as Iroh has said, "Destiny is a funny thing." Iroh had believed he would have been in Ba Sing Se as a conqueror but instead, he had liberated Ba Sing Se from Fire Nation occupation.

Zuko had turned against his father and his supposed destiny and set out to aid the Avatar instead. After this, Zuko's new belief is that it is his destiny to help Aang in defeating Ozai instead. Truly, destiny is funny that way.

But why is this only applied to Zuko? Why isn't this the same message given to Katara's arc? Is she truly destined to be with Aang and she cannot fight against this fate? Is this strong female character destined to be reduced to servitude?

The same girl that inspired imprisoned earthbenders to fight back? The same girl that fought against gender roles in her own culture? The same girl that didn't give into despair and led her crew out of the desert? The same girl that aided in healing a Fire Nation village? The same girl that rose above her mentor and used bloodbending to save her loved ones? The same girl that went toe to toe with Azula and won?

I SAY NAY!

Imagine, if you will, what Katara's continued arc could've been like in Book 4. Katara would've defied the destiny that was forced upon her and determined her destiny for herself. But in the end, destiny is a funny thing for this action only plays into fate. Zuko is a powerful bender after all. 👀

Now, I must depart before I give too many spoilers for my writing. Fare thee well, until we meet again!
