If you read The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes and thought it was boring it’s because you didn’t pay attention

My friend ( @ihavenoideawhyiamhere ) and I were discussing the capitol names and caught this.
Coriolanus was the name of an emperor, whose mother's name was Volumnia in Shakespeare's play
Whose first name is Volumnia in the book?
Nono, it's not Coriolanus Snow's mother's name.
The character is VOLUMNIA GAUL!!!!!!

I wrote about this more extensively in this post, but one thing that should be understood about The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes is that it’s not supposed to be divorced from the context of The Hunger Games trilogy.
We are supposed to read the book, knowing full well from the start, that this character we’re reading about is the villain. We know that he’s the man who throws children into an arena to fight to the death, who poisons his enemies, who forces victors into sex slavery, who tortures and brainwashes Peeta, who threatens everyone Katniss cares about, who bombs hospitals, who wipes out District 12. We’ve read those books. We know who he is. And we know his fate. He’s already been condemned.
And it’s not as if he’s portrayed in a positive light in the book. He is always self-serving, narcissistic, bigoted, and cutthroat. And by the end of the book he’s [SPOILER] chasing his girlfriend through the woods with a rifle so he can murder her to prevent her from telling anyone about the other people he murdered and later talking about how he plans on marrying someone he hates because love makes you weak.[end spoiler] that’s not something characters who are good do. But he does have moments where, if you ignore a lot of his other actions, he seems better. Moments where he and Lucy Gray are being a fairly normal couple, or where his motivations are sympathetic, or he’s treating Tigris or Maude Ivory nice.
But those moments aren’t meant to make you question whether “maybe Snow’s not so bad” because once again, we know this character. And the original trilogy doesn’t get mentioned directly but it is constantly alluded to. Throughout the entire last third of this book, there are repeated references to how much Snow hates mockingjays. In this series mockingjays are explicitly established as symbols of most of what the series perceives to be good and noble and worthy. And Snow hates them.
It’s a little reminder, in the gentler moments of the book, not to fall for Snow’s facade. And while the ending might seem to resolve with evil winning, it’s meant to be understood in light of the repeated phrase in the book “the show isn’t over until the mockingjay sings”. Because this book might be the last one, but the real resolution is in Mockingjay and we all know it.
