SPOILERS FOR THE END OF MOCKINGJAY!!!! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!
Okay so everyone is all like "I hate Gale he killed Prim" This and that and the other. But i don't think so. He might have made the bombs but he was the one helping Katniss feed Prim. He loved her like a sister. So no. He would not kill her. He probably didn't even know that they were being used for specifically that. Or, maybe he knew what they were being used for but that the medics came at the last minute (Ordered via Coin to make Katniss mad) and he didn't know that she would be there. HE WOULD NOT HURT KATNISS LIKE THAT.
Any other theories? Who else agrees?

I think that Collins was originally going to kill Gale, but the audience of the book was younger than she expected, so she made him be the death of Prim so Katniss would hate him and never talk to him again. But yeah, I agree he wouldn't have done that on purpose.

Personally, I straight up don't blame Gale for Prim's death. Even if he did design the bombs, he didn't know who would die as a result - he certainly would never have intentionally hurt Katniss or her family, especially for all the years where they were sworn to protect each other's family. Furthermore, I think Gale left for District 2 because he knew he had broken his promise to protect Katniss's family, and he knew Katniss could never forgive him. I think he really left out of guilt. Their friendship - and anything more there could have been between them - was destroyed, and nothing he could do could ever fix it.

Don't think he meant to (obviously) but Katniss needed to choose and I hated Gale anyway so.....

But yeah, I agree he wouldn't have done that on purpose. I don't really understand this... Why would killing off Prim instead of Gale make it more palatable to the younger audience of the book?
