Cashmere, a character from “The Hunger Games” series, dies during the 75th Hunger Games, also known as the third Quarter Quell.
In Suzanne Collins’ “The Hunger Games” trilogy, Cashmere is a former victor from District 1 who participates in the 75th Hunger Games, which is a special edition where previous victors are forced to compete against each other. Cashmere and her brother Gloss, who is also a victor, are both chosen to represent their district in this deadly competition.
During the events of “Catching Fire,” the second book in the series, Cashmere is portrayed as a cunning and skilled competitor. She is known for her beauty and her ability to manipulate others, which she likely used to her advantage in her original games. However, the Quarter Quell brings together some of the most capable and dangerous former victors, raising the stakes and the level of competition.
Cashmere’s death occurs during one of the conflict’s most intense moments. She is killed by Johanna Mason, a tribute from District 7, during an altercation at the Cornucopia. Johanna throws an axe at Cashmere, which strikes her chest, resulting in her immediate death. This event is part of the larger plan among some of the tributes to subvert the Games and ultimately leads to the downfall of the Capitol’s control over the districts. Cashmere’s death, along with the deaths of other tributes, underscores the brutality of the Hunger Games and the Capitol’s oppressive regime.
