Currently re-reading The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes,,, focusing in on the dialogs between Dr. Gaul and the young Coriolanus Snow (President Snow from the The Hunger Games, Catching Fire, and Mockingjay) and the inner monologues of Snow they engender... like this one...

"He settled down to work, writing the three C-words on a scrap of paper. Chaos, control, and what was the third? Oh, yes. Contract. What happened if no one was in control of humanity.? That was the topic he was supposed to address. And he had said there was chaos. And Dr. Gaul had said to start there.

Chaos. Extreme disorder and confusion. "Like being in the arena," Dr. Gaul had said. "Transformative." Coriolanus thought about what it had felt like to be in the arena, where there were no rules, no laws, no consequences to one's actions. The needle of his moral compass had swung madly without direction. Fueled by the terror of being prey, how quickly he himself had become a predator, with no reservation about smashing Bobbin to death. He'd transformed, all right, but not into anything he was proud of - and being a Snow, he had more self-control than most. He tried to imagine what it would be like if the whole world played by those same rules. No consequences. People taking what they wanted, when they wanted, and killing for it if it came to that. Survival driving everything. There had been days during the war when they'd all been too scared to even leave the apartment. Days when lawlessness had made even the Capitol an arena.

Yes, the lack of law, that was at the hear of it. So people needed to agree on laws to follow. Was that what Dr. Gaul had meant by "social contract"? The agreement not to rob, abuse, or kill one another? It had to be. And the law required enforcement, and that was where control came in. Without the control to enforce the contract, chaos reigned. The power that controlled needed to be greater than the people - otherwise they would challenge it. The only entity capable of this was the Capitol."

As in the Hunger Games trilogy, given and surnames are important indicators of not only character personality, but history, military history, literature and literary history.

Coriolanus
Dr. Gaul

Some day I foresee a graduate course at a respectable university analyzing the naming scheme of the HGs series that will award credits toward either a Master's Degree in Literature or History.

Oh... and in Qology as well.

Alama COIN.
