He eventually, however, did come to love her, but in the end chose to eschew love in exchange for power and ambition. Filled with ideas of control and power from Dr. Volumnia Gaul, he made it his ambition to rule over all, even if people called him an iron-fisted, cruel tyrant.
In the end, Spruce and Sejanus are hanged at the Hanging Tree; Snow feels responsible for Sejanus' death and is wracked with grief. According to Jacobson, Sejanus' death is a "defining moment" that is "essential" to Snow's transformation into the evil President Snow fans know from the original trilogy.
Alma Coin was the true villain of The Hunger Games, with Katniss actually seeing her as more of a threat than Coriolanus Snow. At the same time, it was Snow who was made out to be the bad guy in previous movies, making some question why Katniss killed Coin and spared him.
Unknown to most people, President Snow poisoned others but drank the same drink as them to cover up his tracks, resulting in perpetual blood sores in his mouth.
Snow can't stand to see a young woman betray a young man's affection—his view of what happened 65 years ago. And so he takes out his old, festering wound on Katniss.
The Life of Coriolanus Snow (UPDATED WITH NEW INFO): Hunger Games Explained
Why does Snow laugh when Katniss kills Coin?
Snow laughs after Katniss killed Coin because he enjoys the irony of the situation. He avoided the official execution ceremony, even though Panem's citizens still take their revenge on him, while Katniss ends up snatching away the victory and power that Coin thinks she has successfully secured.
The young woman helped to raise the future President Snow and even worked with him initially, but Tigris didn't approve of the Hunger Games, and their relationship changed drastically after Snow was assigned to mentor a District 12 tribute in the 10th annual Hunger Games.
When she is set to execute Snow, Katniss instead shoots President Coin, and Snow dies laughing and though it is never confirmed, choking on the blood from his sores. His whole life as president had seen him trying to hide his many crimes, including using roses to mask his bloody scent.
He is motivated by the power he holds over his subjects in Panem, ruling with cunning, treachery, and vindictiveness. Even his appearance is spoiled by the blood that runs out of his mouth from the sores caused by poison he took to make himself appear innocent while poisoning others on his road to absolute power.
It is still possible that she genuinely wants to make Panem a better place, but her methods become inhumane. Coin feels threatened by Katniss' rebellious nature. In the end, her own delusional idea of Panem is her undoing, since she ignorantly trusts that Katniss is okay with her being the new president of Panem.
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.
Katniss blamed Gale for the death of Prim. She would never be able to look at him again without thinking of his part in her death. Gale was the best friend he could have been to her at that moment. He knew her so perfectly to understand this, he knew his chance with her had passed.
He is poor. His father, deemed a war hero after the District's rebellion, and his mother dying in child birth has left Coriolanus an orphan. There is no money, but his dream is to attend university, and secure a good, safe job to enable him to support his family.
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. He wears a white rose in his buttonhole at all times, partially to conceal the smell of blood.
Lucy Gray Baird is supposed to be 16 in the film. Rachel Zegler is six years older than her at 22. Lucy Gray is the lead singer of a band who plays in District 12 when she's selected as a tribute in the 10th annual Hunger Games. Similarly, Jennifer Lawrence was 21 when playing the 16-year-old Katniss Everdeen.
Lucy Gray Baird is the District 12 female tribute and victor of the 10th Hunger Games. She was not born in District 12 but was a member of the Covey, a group of travelling musicians.
If I understand your question correctly, and it being why did Snow let those 3 to be rescued from the Capitol, even after their (the Capitol) power and weapons were restored, is because Snow was hoping that District 13 would not know Peeta was hijacked, and Katniss would go to see him and that he would kill her, and ...
He grows up in D12 with the Covey, and eventually at the age of 24 in what would be year 36 he gets married and has a baby boy born in year 37. That baby turns out to be Katniss's father. He gets married in year 57 and Katniss is born in year 58. So Snow could be Katniss's great grandfather.
Lucy has an unrequited crush on musical prodigy Schroeder, in part because Schroeder, a one-note (so to speak) character, cared about nothing but Beethoven and playing the piano.
This comes as a result of Lucy attempting to leave Snow during a rainstorm after they plot to flee the Districts, but she learns that he was responsible for killing Sejanus Plinth during the travels.
True to his name, he's icy and has it out for Katniss after she forces the hand of the gamemaker into letting both her and Peeta win. Songbirds and Snakes reveals why Katniss' unwavering confidence in herself and her abilities is a particular thorn in Snow's side: they remind him of Lucy Gray.
Over the years, Tigris began undergoing surgical enhancements that made her look more tiger-like. 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.
It was here that Snow first heard the mockingjays, taking up the tune after the jabberjays repeated Chance's last words, "Run, Lil, Run!" He took an instant dislike to the birds, an unnatural muttation of the Capitol-bred jabberjays.
If Snow is 18 in BSS and Tigris is 21, then that would make Snow 82-84 during the original trilogy and Tigris around 86 during the events of Mockingjay.
