As a result, he murdered allies and enemies alike (usually by poisoning them), and in his effort to throw off suspicion he drunk his own murderous poison from the same cup, and was left with a mouthful of bloody sores (because the antidotes didn't always work) which are the only outward sign of his insanity.
Later in the series, it is revealed that Snow has bleeding sores on the inside of his mouth, a result of drinking poison in order to trick his enemies into doing the same.
Visual snow syndrome is a disorder that causes you to see static. Some describe it as seeing things in a snow globe that's been shaken up. There are flickering dots throughout your field of vision.
In Mockingjay – Part 1, we find out from former Hunger Games victor Finnick Odair (Sam Claflin) that President Snow rose to power by poisoning his enemies. He would drink from the same cup to deflect suspicion, then take an antidote. But the repeated exposure left him with bloody sores in his mouth that never healed.
However, when the stakes are as high as they are in The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, it makes sense why this character would ultimately become the series' main villain. Snow follows a path the audience can't morally follow, and when he kills Highbottom with rat poison, it solidifies his turn to evil and path toward ...
The Life of Coriolanus Snow (UPDATED WITH NEW INFO): Hunger Games Explained
Why does Tigris hate snow?
She was also against the games itself, whilst Snow believed the Districts were below him and continued working to implement new aspects of the games. Their relationship was so undesirable that Snow fired Tigris as a stylist personally.
Since the end of Katniss' first Hunger Games, President Snow has been wary of Katniss and the power she wields over the districts. Snow recognized early, from Katniss' first stunt with Peeta and the nightlock berries, that she could mean trouble for his power and control over the Capitol.
And with good reason—the scent of blood comes from sores in his mouth. At one point, Snow used poisons to kill people in an effort to gain more control of Panem. First he drank the poisons, to lessen suspicions, before secretly taking the antidote. He was left with sores that never healed.
The fact that he escapes death, even just momentarily, gives him a brief sense of getting away with some of what he's done, while his enemy, who he himself has helped turn Katniss against, takes the heavily symbolic arrow. Snow laughs after Katniss killed Coin because he enjoys the irony of the situation.
He married Julia Pompey but their marriage was loveless. It was suggested by many that he poisoned his wife because she tried to kill him and take their sons place.
Katniss didn't really have the time to consider romance when she was worried about survival. When Peeta and Gale both made their feelings clear, Katniss wasn't entirely receptive despite caring for them both. In the end, her feelings for Peeta and Gale diverged, with Peeta ultimately winning her heart.
While she manages to escape both Games with her life, she is left suffering significant psychological distress and displays symptoms consistent with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
Although he ended up killed by the crowd it wasn't Katniss who ended his life in the execution scene despite that she said over and over that she would kill him. Instead, she ended up killing President Coin and Snow had nothing left to do but laugh as if he won the battle.
After winning the games, Snow forced Finnick into prostitution and sold his body to Capitol residents to gain their trust. Finnick only agreed to take part because Snow threatened to torture his loved ones. Even though he bedded several women throughout his time as a victor, Finnick's love for Annie remained true.
Finnick learned many secrets, including that Snow, in his rise to power, poisoned his adversaries but to divert suspicion often drank from the same poisoned cup followed by an antidote that only Snow used. Segments of the propo of Katniss and Finnick are aired.
The rose symbolizes power and President Snow's seeming omniscience. He is the most powerful man in the country, killing, torturing, and maiming with no remorse. He stops at nothing to maintain his power, often killing people close to him if he thinks they are encroaching on his power.
After Maysilee was killed, Haymitch faced off against the last remaining tribute, a girl from District 1. Although his opponent nearly got the upper hand, Haymitch outsmarted her by leading her to the force field and dodging her ax throw, causing it to bounce back and kill her.
The woods are now ruined. Katniss decides that the Capitol views her and Gale's weekly hunting trips — and the one time that Gale unexpectedly kissed her, which Snow knows about — as flaunting her defiance in front of the entire district.
She remembers that they did indeed promise not to lie to each other anymore, and she realizes that Snow wasn't lying to her about Coin's role in the parachute bombing. He has no reason to lie to Katniss. His death is certain, but the future of the Capitol is not.
From flattening her nose to having whiskers implemented onto her face, Tigris began looking like a feline creature, combined with her tiger-centric tattoos on her body. At some point between her hiring as a stylist and the 74th Hunger Games, Tigris was fired by Snow and the Gamemakers.
Described as sweet and vulnerable, in the book, it's suggested she sells her body to ensure the family keeps up appearances and stays fed. Tigris is seen again in "The Hunger Games" franchise as an ally to Katniss Everdeen, but much differently. After heavy modifications to her body over time, she resembles a tiger.
However, she was banned from the profession because she received too many surgeries—now, her face looks like a tiger's. Tigris helps Katniss and the other rebels by giving them food and shelter, telling them where President Coriolanus Snow lives, and supplying them with warm clothing.
