Coryo, throwing his head into Lucy Gray’s lap: Tell me I'm pretty!

Lucy Gray, lovingly stroking his hair: You're pretty fucking annoying, that's what you are.

A detail that really struck me while rereading TBOSAS is Coryo’s concern over Lucy Gray’s survival in the wild (p507).

Mind you, this comes after being bitten by the snake and chasing her in the forest with a gun. Coryo’s parting thought upon leaving a world that, according to his paranoia, is deadly to him, is of Lucy Gray. Even in the throws of hysteria, Coryo is hoping that Lucy Gray’s escape will be successful and he ensures that she’ll have the means to survive.

I find this duality in his feelings for her extremely fascinating: on one side he perceives her as a threat to his survival, and as such he hunts her down before she can do the same to him. However, once he realises that no one can harm him in the forest, his latent regard for Lucy Gray resurfaces as worry about her future wellbeing.

Once again, his behaviour reminds me a lot of Darth Vader’s final line ‘Where’s Padme? Is she safe?’ in Rots. I know for sure that Coryo wondered the same about Lucy Gray in the years and decades to come.

there was a moment when the people in the movie theatre and the capitol audience in the stands were laughing at the same things, having the same reactions to the games, to the deaths, to flickermans jokes, to the doctor's announcement...i wonder aren't we watching it for entertainment too

suzanne collins' books may exist in popular culture as "dystopian", but they have always been a meticulous and startlingly close social critique of our world. at what point does our own idolization of the movies and the books repeat that story? we watch just as the capitol audience does.

all dystopia eventually crosses a line from realistic futurism to current relevancy. how long will it take us to realize we've already crossed that line with these books? and the very people who need to realize this are the ones in that audience...real or fake, we're the same: consuming and consuming.

never believing that "touch grass" shit again because coriolanus snow went to district 12, touched grass, then returned to the capitol twice as insane.
