But she did look back.

Plutarch Heaveansbee, the man who had a huge ass library, and libraries were considered RARE, named them after a book about censorship.

He mentions how reading is a rare pastime in the Capitol, and as Haymitch sugests books are an even rarer. No doubt this is intentional: a population that has been deprived of information, of "dangerous" ideas of social justice and freedom, that is unaware of the mere possibilty of an existence that doesn't involve opression, is easier to control, to manipulate. It makes them more susceptible to propaganda.

Plutarch, however, has an extensive collection of books, no doubt some of the "dangerous" ones aswell. And despite being one of the most privilleged people even within the capitol, he is fighting to desmantle the very system that benefits him.

A house is in a lot of ways the ultimate symbol of this kind of stability, an overt statement of wealth and status and the place where one hosts one's friends and.or social connections. But at the same time, and for John and Oscar in particular, they clearly understand the value of privacy that a home can provide--I mean, my god, they were out there living the one-bedroom apartment lifestyle together in 1882, they clearly felt like their home provided safety and insulation from the outside world.

there is no “thinking” that you failed Gladys, George. You did fail her.
