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.
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.
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.
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. He sensed the revolution coming and knew all along that it was Katniss who provided the spark, later fueling it into a blaze.
Snow personally fired Tigris, blaming her feline surgical enhancements. As Tigris Snow eventually explains to Katniss Everdeen, President Snow fired her because she wasn't pretty enough to be a stylist for the tributes anymore.
Snow hates mockingjays because they're not supposed to exist, thriving in a place where the Capitol sent their jabberjays to die. This directly mirrors Katniss, who becomes the symbol of the rebellion and known as The Mockingjay to all of Panem despite being sent to her death in the arena.
Summary. Coriolanus Snow genuinely believed he loved Lucy Gray, but his possessive and jealous tendencies cast doubts on the authenticity of his love. Snow's possessiveness extended to other people he loved, such as his cousin Tigris, demonstrating a dangerous and possessive pattern in his relationships.
President Snow became evil because he's always been driven by the principle that, if a cause is just enough, then anything done in pursuit of it is justified. Unfortunately for the people of Panem, Snow believed the Capitol's dominance of the other districts was among the most just causes of all.
Summary. President Coin's manipulative tactics enabled her to take power in Panem, but she was even worse than President Snow. Coin's black-and-white thinking led her to condemn anyone associated with the Capitol, including Peeta.
She might even be worse than Snow considering the fact that Snow has honor, care for others like his family, and genuinely believed that the Hunger Games were for the greater good, while Coin simply continued the games as an act of vengeance and cared about nobody.
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.
Mockingjay. It isn't known where Effie was taken after she was kidnapped by the rebels. After President Snow is found guilty and is about to be executed, Effie is released from prison and goes back to Katniss to get her ready for Snow's trial. Katniss notes that Effie has a vacant look in her eyes.
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.
Highbottom even developed a grudge against Coriolanus Snow for his father's actions, maintaining a dislike of the boy throughout his years at the Academy.
In the end, it is Gale's conviction in the necessity of sacrifice pitted against Katniss' moral incoherence that truly severs any relationship they had or could ever have. Primrose, Katniss' sister, is killed by a firebomb that may have been designed by Gale.
Lucy Gray follows, an argument ensues and Coriolanus ends up shooting the mayor's daughter after she threatens to expose them, and another rebel named Spruce kills her boyfriend.
The Hunger Games franchise has never confirmed that Lucy Gray and Katniss are related, despite speculation. The ending of The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes leaves open the possibility that Lucy Gray and Katniss are related.
While they were walking away from District 12 making their escape, Coriolanus made a comment about having killed three people. Lucy Gray quickly did the math and realized that she had only known about two of them, and that Coriolanus had been lying to her, sowing doubt in her mind about him and their plan.
Fans online who have read Songbirds & Snakes theorize that Lucy Gray and Katniss aren't directly related, but instead that Katniss is the granddaughter of Lucy Gray's cousin, Maude Ivory, who is introduced in the movie, too.
When a concerned Snow searches for her, he finds the shawl he gifted Lucy Gray tossed on the ground, hiding a snake that bites him. Snow snaps. Paranoid and convinced his crush wants to kill him, Snow hunts Lucy Gray through the woods with a gun, shoots at her, and seemingly hits his mark as we see her stumble.
Answer: Lucy Gray was a very lonely girl, a lover of nature and apparently full of kindness and innocence. She lived with her parents in a faraway valley, seemingly in isolation.
Lucy Gray's fate is unfortunately unknown (even to Coriolanus). But katniss is associated with her last words to Snow, so Katniss Everdeen is undoubtedly a constant reminder of the girl he either killed or lost, which could be why he despises Katniss so much in the trilogy.
In the book, readers find out that Lucy Gray (Rachel Zegler) was the original writer of 'The Hanging Tree', penning the song after witnessing the murder of a man named Arlo Chance, who is hanged at the tree where the executions take place. She's later asked not to perform it.
Summary. "The Hanging Tree Song" in The Hunger Games had different meanings for Katniss and Snow. Katniss saw the song as a rebellious anthem about self-sacrifice, while Snow interpreted it as a warning of his own death.
