In Mockingjay, the final book of The Hunger Games trilogy by Suzanne Collins, Primrose Everdeen dies during the Capitol’s bombing of the children and medics in District 13. This tragic event occurs when President Snow’s forces drop bombs on the Capitol’s own children, who are being used as a shield. Prim, who has become a medic, rushes to help the injured children. As she is tending to them, a second wave of bombs is detonated, killing her and many others.
Prim’s death is a pivotal moment in the story, deeply affecting her sister, Katniss Everdeen, and influencing the course of the rebellion. It highlights the brutal and indiscriminate nature of war, where even the innocent and compassionate, like Prim, are not spared.
