“Well, you know what they say. The show’s not over until the mockingjay sings,” she said.
His girl. His. Here in the Capitol, it was a given that Lucy Gray belonged to him, as if she’d had no life before her name was called out at the reaping.
Ok narcissist.
Fueled by the terror of being prey, how quickly he himself had become a predator,
Coriolanus felt sure he’d spotted his first mockingjay, and he disliked the thing on sight.
At his core he always hated Lucy Gray. Even if he swore he didn’t. He did. Why do men do that
In some ways, it had been better to have her locked up in the Capitol, where he always had a general idea of what she was doing.
Right… psycho
for a second tree. Dr. Kay watched approvingly. “Some people just understand birds.” Coriolanus felt, unequivocally, that he would never be one of those people,
Again. Guy hates his girlfriend. Again I wonder why do men date women they hate?
something about the mockingjays repelled him. He distrusted their spontaneous creation. Nature running amok. They should die out, and die out soon.
AGAIN YOU HATE YOUR GIRLFRIEND YOURE INSANE
You said you killed three people this summer.”
It’s like when a woman finds out a man lied about something 1892928 years ago and puts it together on a random Tuesday.
What was there to aspire to once wealth, fame, and power had been eliminated?
His inner monologue is so sickening
He knew this would be easier if he wasn’t such an exceptional person. The best and the brightest humanity had to offer. The youngest to pass the officer candidate test. If he’d been useless and stupid, the loss of civilization would not have hollowed out his insides
…
Her song said that she needed, loved, and trusted him, but would she forgive him? Even if he deserted her? Billy Taupe had crossed her, and he’d ended up dead.
It’s so difficult for me to understand that he’s actually contemplating this? As he’s hunting her with a rifle to KILL HER.
No, Lucy Gray was no lamb. She was not made of sugar. She was a victor.
Still, to think he’d kill her? He looked down at the loaded gun in his hands. Maybe he should’ve left it in the shed. It looked bad coming after her armed. As if he was hunting her. But he wasn’t really going to kill her. Just talk to her and make sure she saw sense.
No he was going to kill his girlfriend. Who he said he loves. Because he has to suck the life out of her in order to be happy. Because he’s a man.
What was she doing, quivering in the bushes while she tried to suppress her sobs? The idea of life without him must be breaking her heart.
I think she’s fine u freak.
If he’d felt better, he’d have laughed at the irony of how quickly their relationship had deteriorated into their own private Hunger Games.
It’s funny because it’s so real
The lake water had reduced his mother’s rose-scented powder to a nasty paste, and he threw the whole thing in the trash. The photos stuck together and shredded when he tried to separate them, so they went the way of the powder. Only the compass had survived the outing.
Shows how he absolutely abandoned every piece of his mother and her kindness the same way he abandoned Lucy Gray. The only thing that survived in him was the evil of his father.
She could fly around District 12 all she liked, but she and her mockingjays could never harm him again.
Strap in Coriolanus.
