Vem var ansvarig för bombningen i slutet av Mockingjay?

10

I slutet av Mockingjay (både boken och del 2-filmen)

a hovercraft drops a bunch of parachutes into a group of children and some blow up. Then, after the rebel medics come in, the rest of the parachutes blow up.

I både romanen och filmen står det aldrig klart för vem som är ansvarig för det som händer. Antagandet är att

President Coin was responsible.

Men jag har mina tvivel. Till exempel

those parachute bombs would have needed to be prepared ahead of time, but gathering the capitol citizens as human shields around the presidential mansion only happened shortly before the parachutes were dropped. Also, one of the reasons why Katniss believes it is Coin is that Snow claimed to not be responsible. How do we know Snow isn't just lying about it?

Det är starkt underförstått att vara mynt.

När Snow föreslår att Coin var ansvarig, och Katniss börjar mala det över, får vi argument att Snow varken har motivet eller sättet att utföra en sådan attack. Mynt och rebellerna har båda.

  • När Katniss möter Snow, och han planterar tanken på att det var Coin som släppte bomberna, inte han, hävdar han att släppa bomber på barnen inte passar hans MO:

    What he's said makes no sense. When they released the parachutes? "Well, you really didn't think I gave the order, did you? Forget the obvious fact that if I'd had a working hovercraft at my disposal, I'd have been using it to make an escape. But that aside, what purpose could it have served? We both know I'm not above killing children, but I'm not wasteful. I take life for very specific reasons. And there was no reason for me to destroy a pen full of Capitol children. None at all."

    Han ger däremot ett mycket trovärdigt motiv för Coin:

    “I must concede it was a masterful move on Coin's part. The idea that I was bombing our own helpless children instantly snapped whatever frail allegiance my people still felt to me. There was no real resistance after that. Did you know it aired live? You can see Plutarch's hand there. And in the parachutes. Well, it's that sort of thinking that you look for in a Head Gamemaker, isn't it?” Snow dabs the corners of his mouth. “I'm sure he wasn't gunning for your sister, but these things happen.”

    (Jag tror att han är ojämn med den sista meningen. Om det var Coin, gav hon definitivt till Prim - meningen med denna övning var att äventyra Katniss förmåga att leda rebellerna och få henne helt bakom Coin.)

  • Katniss är naturligtvis lika skeptisk som du:

    I refuse for this to be true. Some things even I can't survive. I utter my first words since my sister's death. “I don't believe you.”

    Snow shakes his head in mock disappointment. “Oh, my dear Miss Everdeen. I thought we had agreed not to lie to each other.”

    Naturligtvis kunde Snow fortfarande ligga. Men han har redan förlorat sitt presidentskap, och det finns en dödsdom på hans huvud. Det finns väldigt lite att vinna genom att fortsätta att ljuga (och om han ljuger, så kommer bevis till sist att bli motsatt).

  • När hon lämnar mötet är Katniss fortfarande skeptisk, men kommer fram till tanken att rebellerna kan vara ansvariga:

    Then what's nagging at me? Those double-exploding bombs, for one. It's not that the Capitol couldn't have the same weapon, it's just that I'm sure the rebels did. Gale and Beetee's brainchild. Then there's the fact that Snow made no escape attempt, when I know him to be the consummate survivor. It seems hard to believe he didn't have a retreat somewhere, some bunker stocked with provisions where he could live out the rest of his snaky little life. And finally, there's his assessment of Coin. What's irrefutable is that she's done exactly what he said. Let the Capitol and the districts run one another into the ground and then sauntered in to take power. Even if that was her plan, it doesn't mean she dropped those parachutes. Victory was already in her grasp. Everything was in her grasp.

    Vi vet att rebellerna hade sådana bomber, och antagligen hade ett flygplan lastat med dem, redo att använda mot Capitolsoldater. De var nog inte laddade med avsikt att döda Capitol-barnen, men när tillfället presenterade sig var de redo och väntade.

    Det är möjligt att Capitolen verkligen byggt liknande vapen och lagrade dem före attacken. Men Capitolen använde dem aldrig - varför? Det verkar mer troligt att de inte hade några.

It was Alma Coin who ordered it. She wanted to make sure that Katniss keeps working with them against the president, so she killed prim and made it look like it was snows fault to fuel Katnisse´s hate.

Ingen referens till detta, eftersom jag inte har boken här och inte hitta någonting, så om någon kan ge gå för det.
