whilst all the deaths in sotr were equally horrific i cant help but think about the way Maysilee was killed. the birds pecking at her before finally stabbing her through the throat. her voice, sass and attitude being what makes her HER. what helped her throughout the pre-games and all throughout her life was just taken from her. she couldn’t speak in the end. she lost her voice and theres something so harrowing about that
what makes Snow such a formidable villain within THG universe is that nothing he does was set in stone. there was no sense of inevitability about his actions and his brutality. Snow had enough perspective of poverty, capital cruelty, district hunger and not to mention his own arena experience’ and yet he actively chose at every moment to stray from natural goodness. its even more terrifying in the sense that he had the ability to care. Snow is not a mindless sociopath, he displays feelings to others such as sejanus, lucy grey and tigris but ultimately he will always choose himself. his ability to betray those he cared about in order yo advance himself makes him so much more than the stereotypical villain who is forced into his actions.
