Sunrise on the Reapinghas me more convinced than ever that a particularHunger Gamestheory is solely correct . This most recent book by author Suzanne Collins dives into the goings - on of the fiftieth Hunger Games , providing further details about Haymitch ’s victory . After the many significant revelation of the previousHunger Gamesprequel , The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes , we all knew thatSunrise on the Reapingwas going to occur with several delicious tidbits of information that would retroactively change how we comprehend Katniss’story . Of course , we were n’t disappointed .

As it turn out , we actually knew nothing aboutHaymitch ’s Hunger Games . Sunrise on the Reapingrevealed that the footage Katniss and Peeta observe in theCatching Firebook had been doctored to allow for out all of Haymitch ’s most rebellious moments . He was secretly part of a plot to sabotage the arena — like to the one Katniss was unknowingly a part of during the Third Quarter Quell . Sunrise on the Reapingestablished the idea that the District rebellion had had several false scratch before Katniss got the fervor burning .

A Hunger Games Theory Claims That Seneca Crane Was A Rebel

Seneca Crane May Have Been Just Like Plutarch

After theHunger Gamesbooksrevealed that District 13 had managed to get Capitol citizen on its side , a theory develop that Seneca Crane had secretly been a greyback . He was the Head Gamemaker during the 74th Hunger Games , and we had every reasonableness to conceive back in the Clarence Day that he was as evil as President Snow . However , when it comes down to it , we really live very little about this quality . The movies provided their own feeling at who Seneca was and why he made the decisions he did , but the few conversations we see between Snow and Seneca never in reality happened in the books .

So , there is a flock of room for imagination here . The bigreveal that Plutarch Heavensbee was a secret rebel is what really fueled the musical theme that the same might have been true for Seneca . It seems their business was to track down the Hunger Games as common as Gamemakers while looking for tributes who could make a statement . If Seneca were a Johnny Reb , Katniss would have piqued his interest from the moment she offer to take her sis ’s place in the Games . From there , Seneca would just have to engineer thing in the sphere to make Katniss appear as inflammatory as possible .

Of course , unless Collins writes another prequel set shortly before Katniss ' Games , we ca n’t know for certain whether Seneca was on the Q.T. a rebel . Our best bet was some confirmation that the freedom fighter had been specificallysearchingfor a protection that could trigger a gyration years beforehand . morning on the Reapingdid just that .

Sunrise On The Reaping Reveals That Capitol Rebels Were On The Lookout For The Perfect Tribute To Start A Revolution

The Hunger Games Prequel Confirmed That This Operation Had Been Going On For Decades

Seneca Crane was never mentioned inSunrise on the Reaping , so the book provided no definitive proof that this Gamemaker had secretly been a rebel . However , Haymitch ’s taradiddle effectively try out that there had been a secret movement within the Capitol for decades . Plutarch Heavensbee was born and raised in the Capitol and put to work within the terrible games , but it ’s clean-cut inSunrise on the Reapingthat he had been a rebel from the first ( something we did n’t know for sealed inThe Hunger Games).Plutarch most certainly was n’t the only one . He would have had a web of greyback colleague , all with the same goal .

Sunrise on the Reapingmade it clear that Capitol rebelslike Plutarch had one object glass . Haymitch ’s actions at the tribute parade ( holding up Louella ’s body ) catch their attention , and Plutarch , Beetee , and who lie with who else began to set him up as a hero to spark a revolution . Unfortunately , Haymitch ’s efforts failed . Plutarch noted inSunrise on the Reapingthat they necessitate someone like Haymitch , but luckier , to carry their mission to success . It ’s implied that they continued to view out until Katniss appeared 24 eld later . Since Seneca ’s action mechanism only benefitted the revolt , it seems that he and Plutarch were both part of it .

Everything Seneca Crane Did Helped Make Katniss The Mockingjay

Seneca Crane Set Her Up Perfectly

There ’s no doubt that Seneca ’s actions as Head Gamemaker killed dozens of tributes ( and who knows how many years he was in mission before Katniss ' Games ) . However , it ’s also interesting to consider how his action helped the rebel cause . If Seneca had been a rebel and had noticed Katniss ' potential when she volunteered for her baby , then he would have been testing the District 12 fille when he push aside her during the orchard apple tree - and - pig incident . His mellow score for Katniss ascertain people noticed her . Then , Seneca played right into the star - crossed - lovers angle .

Lucius Annaeus Seneca would have had every reason to believe that this would be Katniss ' response after how she handled Rue ’s last .

Lucius Annaeus Seneca would have been the one to falsely announce that two protection could win the74th Hunger Gamesif they were both from the same District . Of course , he would have known that Snow would n’t allow this , buthe necessitate to create an chance for Katniss to radiate . When it was then announced that only one testimonial could bring home the bacon , Katniss chose to rebel against the Capitol and commit self-annihilation rather than hurt Peeta . Seneca would have had every cause to think that this would be Katniss ' response after how she do by Rue ’s death . in the end , it only makes sense that he would keep in line these rules if Senecawantedto trip a rebellion .

Sunrise on the Reapingproved that rebels like Plutarch had been hear to manipulate the Hunger Games to conflagrate a insurrection for decades . This ultimately make the theory that Seneca Crane was a rebel more powerful since his selection during the 74th Hunger Games ensured that Katniss became the gyration ’s figurehead . However , the grim side of all this is just how often this mission must have failedbefore it succeeded . Capitol rebel working in the Games were manipulating the lives of the District children , watch and wait until one of them not only outlast but gained adhesive friction .

Haymitch and everyone else in the50th Hunger Gameswere casualtiesof this missionary post . Plutarch and whoever else in the Capitol he had been working with trust that Haymitch would be their guy rope , but things did n’t quite work out . This had likely come about several time before that Second Quarter Quell and several times after . next installment in theHunger Gamesfranchise could cast luminance on just how many time the rebels failedand a new year of the Hunger Games came and go without forward motion in the revolution . For now , we can only pretend whether Seneca Crane was a part of it .
