The complete comprehensive guide to The Rise and Fall of Coriolanus “Coryo” Snow Explained.
In this explanation, we delve into The Hunger Games trilogy, including Catching Fire, Mockingjay Part 1 & 2, and of course, The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes. Specifically stuff like, Coriolanus Snow’s family tree, learning why Mr. Snow (Crassus Xanthos Snow) and Snow’s Mom, commonly referred to as Snow’s Mother, are not in the picture anymore. Placing the burden of parenthood on the tone deaf “Gem of Panem” singing Grandma’am and a sisterhood on his cousin Tigris. This is analyzing the ever living heck out of Snow from the Dark Days all the way to the 76th Hunger Games. From his encounter with Nero Price to the final conclusion brought on by President Alma Coin.
We discuss how Snow was being torn apart between two worlds, should he continue his Peacekeeper/Gamemaker route with Dr. Volumnia Gaul aka “The Snakes” or live a more peaceful life with “The Songbirds” like Lucy Gray Baird. Snow wasn’t a good or bad character, he was stuck in the gray. People like Dean Casca Highbottom knew this, but feared Snow was becoming his father. Coriolanus took after his mother’s compassionate side by being friends with district born Sejanus Plinth. But at the end of the day, you could say he was only friends with him for the Plinth Prize. The Plinths were a family that took over the Snow’s munitions empire after the first rebellion when the entire industry was relocated from District 13 to District 2. He wanted to be with someone like Lucy Gray but ended up with someone like Livia Cardew who called Snow “Self absorbed” and tried to get him disqualified from the Games. Makes you think, “Did Snow truly love Lucy?” Probably, but he definitely didn’t feel the same feelings towards Cardew.
We learn about why Tigris made the radical transformation of becoming a Tiger and why she helped out the second rebellion, thus becoming friends with Plutarch Heavensbee and Cressida. It started with her being the first stylist of the games (like Cinna) and completely changing the fashion trends and culture. We discuss what mistakes Snow made that led to the collapse of his empire. How he completely underestimated the resilient nature of Mockingjays like Katniss Everdeen, the Victor of the 74th and 75th Hunger Games.

You know, you saying that Snow and Katniss were actually a lot alike really hit me, because I had never considered that. They absolutely HAD been in survivor mode all their lives, and here is a girl who is obviously brave enough to step up and take her little sister's place in the games, who is audacious enough to shoot an arrow AT THE GAMEMAKERS, and rebellious enough to threaten to leave the Games without ANY victor; I'm sure he saw a lot of his own qualities in Katniss...and THAT is what made him view her as a dangerous enemy! Obviously, the whole Lucy Gray angle of the prequel had something to do with it too, but even more than her part in his past was just his own existence.

Fun fact: the idea of abundant feasts (aka shameful act of gluttony) with the liquid to be able to keep eating well past being full was originally inspired by Ancient Greek elite feasts who did the same thing (this is just based on what I learned in high school. I’m not sure if it’s true or how much of it is true). Collins’ influence and inspiration from ancient times can be found in every nook and cranny of the Hunger Games series.

Because the movie lacks Snow's internal monologue from the book, most of his actions lack context and we are seeing him from the perspective of the outside observer, where in the book we are seeing everything from his perspective. This is intentional and was by the request of the author; That way we can attain two perspectives and if you haven't read the book or watched the movie, I strongly recommend watching the movie first, then reading the book because both paint a different picture of Snow. In Snow's mind all his actions are justified, from an outside observation he appears to be opportunistic, paranoid and crazy. In the book we learn that from the start the only two people he truly cares about are his grandmother and his sister. Secondly, his "friend" isn't his friend as far as Snow is concerned, the guy is just someone who decided to hang out him and Snow simply put up with him, to Snow, the guy was simply a tool. As far as Grey was concerned, Snow wanted to own her, he saw her as a trophy, a comfort for his own selfish ends and little more, her actions were suspicious enough for him to conclude she was going to dob him in because by that point he had drunk the cool-aid and had grown to believe that humans are savages by nature and she would betray him to save her own hide.

"...what should have been a 4-hour movie..." I think I can agree with that. Or maybe they should have brought Collins in so she could help adapt it like she did for the first movie and for the 2 Mockingjay films. That, or they should have made it a limited series. There was just too much truly important stuff that was left out or seriously rushed. They don't spend any time with Snow building an ACTUAL bond with Sejanus; after going through basic training and spending a couple of weeks in 12 and finding out he won't get paid for a MONTH so he can't send money home, Snow literally IS at his lowest point and considering suicide, so when Sejanus shows up in 12, it's truly a relief and he actually finally becomes a real friend to Snow. (Also, I'd have loved to spend time with them bonding with their fellow Peacekeepers and seeing them get their squad nicknames, "Gent" [Snow] and "Bullseye" [Sejanus].) And then the slow buildup and the little bits and pieces that happen as Snow discovers Sejanus is lying about being broke and finding out bit by bit what he's actually up to. I mean, I went in to this book KNOWING what Snow becomes and convinced I wasn't going to like him and root for him, but I DO, and I can see where he might have become a better person; I can see him gain empathy and understanding, while at the same time there is this hard part of him, this nugget of entitlement; the more people call Lucy Gray "his girl" (how they refer to her as a Tribute, as "his" tribute, his songbird, his girl), the more possessive he starts to feel over her, so that when he shows up in 12 he's jealous of Billy Taupe because Lucy Gray doesn't "belong" to Billy Taupe anymore, she's _his_ girl now. Despite the fact that he hasn't even spoken to her in weeks. We didn't get the time to see that develop. Collins writes her books as 3 acts, and those acts are broken down further into 3 more sections -- inciting incident, rising action, payoff -- so surely that would have made it very adaptable for TV.

@jenniferlynn3537 2 ай бұрын

(Sigh) I disagree that Collins wrote Snow as someone whose statements Katniss could believe - or that he was known as a trustworthy (if evil) person. Everything about Snow is ruthless and manipulative - so there’d be no reason to think he WOULDN’T exploit someone’s reliance on the veracity of his words. Snow doesn’t lie for two reasons: First, he has Katniss between a rock and a hard place. He doesn’t NEED to lie - nothing would be served by it. Rather, Snow would benefit more by being clear, direct and unequivocal: ensuring Katniss understood his wishes and the ramifications of failing to comply. Second, being able to speak openly and honestly - and to threaten someone without fear of repercussions - is the ultimate display of power and confidence. Such a display would reinforce to Katniss how strong and secure Snow was in his capacity and ability to control others. Lying to Katniss would be to expose weakness - which is the very last thing he wants to do. As an aside: You seem to have missed an element of the naming conventions in the districts: People tend to be named after THINGS versus their inherent traits - akin to how the Capitol views them as non-human entities. The district folk know their only value to the Capitol is in the products and gratuitious entertainment they provide - that’s literally how the Capitol views them: Lumber. Coal. Produce. Meat. Fish. Grain. Tech items. Luxury goods. Etc. So rather than naming children based on the positive attributes one hopes they’ll have (like strength, loyalty, grace, wisdom) they’re named in keeping with the only value that has any meaning in their world: (1) as an item (Peeta, Cashmere, Clove), as an element of an item (Gloss, Glimmer, Blight, Chaff), as a means of procuring an item (Thresh, Seeder) - or (2) as an element of superhuman strength and violence (Brutus, Marvel, Enobaria).

I always interpreted that Tigris and Snow had a falling-out because it was Snow who was secretly manipulating her. Eventually her ideals and his clashed and perhaps he may have been the reason why she was so surgically and genetically altered. He could have cruelly forced her to take plastic surgery and body modifications. I think one day Snow decided that she was now longer publicly attractive or appealing for corporate and government sponsorship, hence why he fired her from her profession.

The movie brought in one line that addressed what the plot had never outright said the whole while. During Acts 1 & 2 the books made it clear Snow had a decision to make between prioritizing himself,his future, and exceptionalism OR embrace love, empathy, and mediocrity. However the choice was never clear cut until the final act. He never had to choose between the two and could play at both without admitting to anyone let alone himself where he really stood. Act 3, the move to the districts, was finally when the choices had distinct paths. He gets a real sample of what the end of each road could entail and has to start choosing before it’s made for him. While you can always choose to turn to back or do things differently it’s also important to keep in mind every time you make a choice it becomes easier to make another one like it and harder to turn back. Snow’s slippery slope started with Bobbin, although that wasn’t much of a choice, but it made it easier to turn in Sejanus, and even easier to rationalize the mayor’s daughter. The Penultimate decision was Lucy Gray, to turn on her was a leap, but with everything else he’d already done and the greener grass just on the other side, it didn’t seem like an impossible one.

18:33 suprised Tigris's s*x work is overlooked here. I see her appearance as being a result of a life of capitol exploitation. Snow being ultimatly right about what Tigris would be willing to do is not unlike his sweeping opinions of human nature being proven right through the games. Both prove him correct but they do so in highly unnatural, manufactured circumstances. It almost doesnt matter if snow is correct when he suspects tigris of selling sex or suspects lucy of being capable of "betraying" him-- he creates the circumstances that necessitate those kinds of choices. He believes the worst in people according to his personal ideas of morality and it retroactively justifies him in his eyes. Snow ultimately believes that people will do anything to survive and get ahead in life, that the cost of living is simply your life.

@uptonogood1893 Ай бұрын

I haven't read the books so my theory about Snow is based on the film. I believe Snow's priorities to always being money & power. He had possessive affection for Tigra and his Grandma because of their support. Lucy was a means to an end so (like Tigra and Grandma) had some affection for her because she was helping him. When he was caught cheating, he didn't have a choice to stay, so he wanted to be near someone who supported him. While he was in district 12 he manipulated so he could earn a return to the capital. His friend's antics sabotaged his potential return so he planned to go with his supporter (Lucy Gray). But the instant he realized he could destroy the evidence of his crime he wanted to return to his comfortable life (living in the woods was not fun for him). One leftover snag, the witness who knew too much; Lucy. It wasn't a surprise that he turned on her. She recognized her danger as soon as she realized what that gun meant. She had to escape that clingy, dangerous Snow. If it was worth it he would turn on Tigra (which he did) and his Grandma.

He meant it in the normal dating way but it also felt more than that, like saying “that’s my book, you can’t read it.” Or “that’s my dog, it won’t bit me.” When he said it it felt so much more possessive.

Katniss' father lived on the seam, her mother moved there from the wealthier part of 12. My theory is that after several years hiding on the edges of 12, around the Meadows, to make sure Snow wouldn't come back, and people forgot her face, Lucy had at the least, two sons with a man possessing the surname Everdeen, and Lucy, desperate to hide her identity from Snow, takes the last name herself, becoming Lucy Everdeen. These sons go on to have children, notably Katniss' own father. This is a strong case in my opinion, because the two songs Katniss sings are Lucy Gray's songs. She sang them first, and people repeated them for the popularity before one was banned for the 'rebellious nature'. But Lucy, knowing the crimes of the Capitol, kept her rebellious streak and taught her children the songs, but informed them never to sing them in public, and this lesson was passed down with the songs. Katniss basically says as much when her father taught the songs to her. That is why Katniss isn't just depressed and defeated, she's cynical and aware. Much like Lucy Gray was in her Games. Lucy knew very well it was just a sick way to punish them, a sentiment passed down for generations. Because Lucy lived it. Her children would forget bits and pieces over time, naturally, but Katniss would have picked up the same mentality from her father as a descendant of Lucy Gray, and that would explain why Katniss' father was willing to risk punishment to teach her how to survive. I read the book and enjoyed the conceptualizations it pulled. A little backstory here and some death there. A flaw to fix in the system. but overall, it felt a lot like reading Katniss from an outsider's perspective. Katniss could turn on the dazzle too when she wanted, but due to the harsh reality and trauma that surviving the 1oth hunger games caused, and being betrayed, Lucy's bright and performative personality became cold and closed off, which I see being passed down, as we are what were are raised from. What really tickles my theory is Lucy's comment about the name Katniss. It would be plausible that the name concept was passed down each generation until they finally had a girl to name Katniss Everdeen, the last Mockingjay, Great-Granddaughter of Lucy Gray Baird, the first Mockingjay. Survival was in Katniss' odds all along.

he wasn't going to turn on Lucy. He let slip that he killed three people, but she only knew of two. She told snow trust meant everything to her and without it there was nothing, and her trust was visibly shaken in him so he thought she was going to turn on him and went to turn on her. Without her there was no anchor or reason not to be a piece of shit anymore.

Lol "red flag" isn't just youth slang for kinda weird. It was originally a term to refer to warning signs of abuse. Yes, attempting to murder your partner is a red flag

Tigris sounds like she let herself become consumed by her work, when she was dismissed by Snow.

See I think Snow's biggest mistake was putting the responsibility of spin on others, especially Katniss. All he had to do was have an interview with Flickerman, with Katniss and Peta in tow, where he claims responsibility for the rule change, and it's last minute enforcement. Paint Seneca as cruel and power grasping, and that it was Snow who saved the Star Crossed Lovers. Now Katniss isn't a symbol of rebellion, and Snow has shown that the capital is "fair and generous".

I think coryo was like that because when he got sent to be a peacekeeper he regretted cheating in the games so he became patriotic, and loyal so he became like that but he met Lucy before and he was in love with her because she was like the capitol to her but when she ran away he felt like his old good memories of the capitol and being a student were finally over
