He doesn't want Katniss to die for him because he thinks he has nothing to live for and his family won't care if he dies. He thinks she should live because she has Prim and her mother and Gale.

Does Gale love Katniss?

Its hard to tell. Depedning on when in the story, she loves either Gale or Peeta... But she ends up with peeta. Katniss says she loves Gale, but shes says he is kindled fire and rage, and she has enough of that, and that's why she picks the messed up Peeta, stung by trackerjackers.

What is the complication on Catching Fire?

Okay, first of all, Katniss does not know if she loves Peeta or Gale. Her feelings are really mixed up and she has a hard time making choices. Also, SPOILER ALERT!!! (I may be about to spoil the book for you if you continue reading). If Katniss doesn't look like she is madly in love with Peeta--some of the people in the Capitol aren't falling for it--then President Snow threatens to kill Gale and their families. Katniss and Peeta's relationship is confusing for them because Peeta (and even Katniss, sometimes) can't tell when or whether Katniss' feelings for Peeta are real- or just an act for Snow. Catching Fire really explains that Katniss is not that good with this act. Peeta actually loves Katniss, so it bothers him that Katniss has to act. Still, Katniss finds herself falling in love with Peeta. This is made worse by the fact Peeta says to the capitol audience that Katniss is going to have a baby so if Katniss survives, the capitol is going to be wondering 'So...where's the baby then...?'


Does Katniss Everdeen get back together with Peeta Mellark Mellark for real in 'Catching Fire'?

**This answer will contain spoilers! Don't read unless you're not planning on reading Hunger Games, Catching Fire, or Mockingjay!**Throughout the story Katniss is never "with" Peeta, it is mostly an act. In Catching Fire, Peeta stages a proposal for the capitol and she says yes, but later they break this off because they're busy escaping from the capitol.

What does katniss mean when she says a kind Peeta Mellark is far more dangerous to you than an unkind one?

When Katniss says this, she means that a kind Peeta Mellark can disarm his enemies and gain their trust, making it harder for them to hate or harm him. An unkind Peeta would be easier for others to see as a threat and therefore defend against, but a kind one could manipulate people more effectively.
