However, it's important to note that the scene is intentionally ambiguous and never explicitly confirms that Clove intends to eat the heart. The ambiguity adds to the disturbing and unsettling nature of the scene, highlighting the brutality of the Games and the moral complexities of the characters.
The film adaptation, particularly the scene with Clove and Cato, highlights this ambiguity.
It's also worth noting that there have been other tributes in the Hunger Games, including "The Tracker", who was known for his savagery and implied cannibalism. However, his role in the story is largely confined to the books, making him less familiar than Clove.
