On the one hand, we know she was one of the most intelligent tributes. She was clever and she managed to make it to being one of the last four contestants to stay alive. This hints at the fact that she might have been aware of what she ate throughout the games. But after getting so close, she may have given up. Maybe she knew whoever stayed alive, sooner or later she would have to hold a fight with that person. Granted this, she might have decided to avoid a painfull death. I mean, she survived on her hiding skills and her speed but could not have held a combat which involved strength and brawn. She was at the edge of what would be a painful death. So in an attempt to die without any pain, she ate the nightlocks wishing to get out of that hell.
On the other hand, from what we know she comes from a district where the main idustry is electronics, so she might have had no knowledge of fauna. In addition, since she ate the nightlocks Peeta had collected it is possible that she tried to get free food without wasting energy on getting it. Besides, she was one of the tributes that had a good condition and suffered no compromising wounds.
Maybe we'll never know, but we can build our own opinions on this issue. That is one of the things I adore about The Hunger Games, they make you think.
Leave your comments, and here's the link to a song you could listen while re-reading this post... :)
*(Not Florence, but excellent anyways)
I've never thought of it kike that. Honestly he had all the reasons to commit suicide. I think she kew what she was doing. And you know what's so funny, she made it to the last four without killing anybody. And then the first and last person she killed was herself. Creepy uh? And the song is awesome!!!!
