Katniss is supposedly safe from future sufferings. Shes set up with a new house, plenty of food, and immunity for upcoming Games. Safety immures her in a clean, shiny prison. She occasionally goes hunting with Gale, providing for his family, but life seems strange. Peeta professed his true love for her and Gale obviously has feelings for her too. Shes conflicted with these two men, thus adding a third dimension to the story's plot and storyline. Also, I feel that the scent of President Snow provides a further insight into the complexity of every situation in the book. It says he smells of blood and roses, two obviously conflicting themes. I feel that the blood symbolizes and foreshadows the upcoming blood shed in the rebellion, as well as Snow's malicious attempt to control Katniss in her travels. The roses on the other hand protrude with the feeling of corrupted love; how Katniss will be forced to choose between the two men she has feelings for. Also, I feel that it symbolizes the attempt of the Capitol to put a cut little spin on their disastorous and harmful actions toward the people of Panem.
The Quarterly Quell is a Hunger Games with a twist that occurs every 25 years to further imbue the citizens with the harmful repercussions associated with defying the Capitol. President Snow states that all past victors would be in the Reaping to compete in the Quarterly Quell meaning that Katniss will be forced back into the arena. Peeta goes back in too. His goal is to keep her alive while her main goal is to keep him alive because of his ability to speak and potentially lead a rebellion against the Capitol. Things to not go as planned...Dunh dunh duh Oh snap! Cliffhanger!! GET AT ME!!
