In Suzanne Collins' novel "The Hunger Games," the character Gale Hawthorne is publicly whipped by the Capitol authorities twice. The first time occurs in "Catching Fire" as punishment for hunting in the woods outside District 12. The second time is in "Mockingjay" after he is captured and tortured by the Capitol for his involvement in the rebellion.

In Catching Fire, when Gale was whipped by Romulus Thread, Darius tried to intervene and was knocked unconscious. He was then made into an Avox who served the District 12 tributes at the 3rd Quarter Quell, along with Lavinia, whom Katniss had previously encountered.
Well, "God" wasn't whipped, but Jesus was. According to the Bible, 39 lashes.
Who says he would die? The reason they whipped him 39 times is that according to the law a person should be whipped 40 times less one, which equals 39.
a slave would probably get whipped 10-11 times. If they did something really bad it would probably be 11-15 times
Actually, that was Gale. President Snow replaced the Head Peacekeeper (in our language, head of police) with a brutal one and when Gale was caught walking around with a turkey he hunted, he was whipped. The original Head Peacekeeper never did that because they, too, were willing to eat anything for they were pretty much living the same way the inhabitants of District 12 did and we're willing to even give money for food
In my own case I ahve to say that Gale is soo cute, ( Especially when he got whipped and kissing him), but Peeta is really the one I'd marry because he is also cute, but he would go to Katniss evernight and sleep with her, but Gale had no real relationship with her... So ya
When Gale was whipped in the square, it served as a brutal demonstration of the Capitol's power and control over the districts in "The Hunger Games" series. The public execution highlighted the severity of punishments for those who rebel against the oppressive regime. It also intensified the anger and resentment of the citizens, galvanizing them towards resistance and rebellion against the Capitol's tyranny. This event had a significant impact on both Gale's character and the overall narrative, reinforcing the themes of sacrifice and the fight for justice.
