While The Hunger Games film showcases its fair share of brutal deaths, how Katniss kills Glimmer with a nest of tracker jackers is worse in the books.
While The Hunger Games features many brutal deaths, Glimmer’s end by tracker jackers is even worse in the book than in the film. The Hunger Games depicts some of the most violent, yet creative deaths in YA fiction, with the juxtaposition of this violence against the opulence of the privileged as part of what gives the books and the films their staying power.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY The Hunger Games movie is based on the novel of the same name, where 24 children are selected every year to compete in televised death battles. In the dystopian Panem of The Hunger Games, Katniss Everdeen ekes out a living in District 12, the poorest district, before she is forced to enter the games and must fight to survive. During this experience, one of the first deaths Katniss witnesses personally is that of Glimmer, a tribute from District 1.
While dying at the hands of tracker jackers is bad enough in The Hunger Games film, the book depicts a much more grotesque description of Glimmer’s demise. The novel describes the once-beautiful Glimmer as disfigured in death by plum-sized welts that ooze green pus, as well as how the girl begins to disintegrate when Katniss touches her body.
Why Glimmer's Death Is So Important Despite the horror of how Katniss kills Glimmer in The Hunger Games, it remains a critical part of both the original novel and the movie. Not only does this death earn Katniss her bow, but it also highlights the lengths to which she'll go to survive. For even greater impact, Glimmer’s death is technically Katniss’ first kill in the Games, albeit indirectly.
