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.
