Johanna Mason Character Analysis

A young, intelligent champion of the Hunger Games, Johanna was arrested by the government after failing to escape from the Hunger Games arena at the end of Catching Fire. After the rebels free her from prison, she’s shown to be deeply traumatized by her time in the arena and by her subsequent imprisonment and torture. Ultimately, she fails to qualify for the rebels’ mission to the Capitol: war and violence have hurt her too much.

We spend a couple of hours quizzing each other on military terms. I visit my mother and Prim for a while. When I'm back in my compartment, showered, staring into the darkness, I finally ask, "Johanna, could you really hear him screaming?" "That was part of it," she says. "Like the jabberjays in the arena. Only it was real. And it didn't stop after an hour. Tick, tock." "Tick, tock," I whisper back. Roses. Wolf mutts. Tributes. Frosted dolphins. Friends. Mockingjays. Stylists. Me. Everything screams in my dreams tonight.
