Quote #7
HAYMITCH: They're not happy with you.
KATNISS: Why? Because I didn't die?
HAYMITCH: Because you showed them up.
KATNISS: Well, I'm sorry it didn't go the way they planned. I'm not very happy with them either.
The Capitol tried everything to kill Katniss, but she showed them that they can't control everything. Of course, take one step back and you could argue that none of this was really a fate vs. free will situation at all; it was a reality TV game, with hundreds of decisions being made by the show runners at any given moment. Even what we think might have been an expression of free will by Katniss was being watched and manipulated by the game crew. Sometimes they let her "choices" stand; other times they blocked them.
