From the constellation Perseus (who we will get to later FOR SURE) - representing for years the Gorgon Medusa's head.
Is anyone else reminded of Potentate Nicolae Carpathia from the Left Behind series when President Snow shows up in Catching Fire?
just wonderin'
Yes, I did get a glimpse of Carpathia in President Snow. I also think that it's part of the dystopian "schtick" that the evil leader is incredibly charismatic and almost sympathetic. Loving this blog!!
ReplyDeleteYes! He has this terrible aura of evil, even though he's obviously sympathetic, as Lindsey said. He makes my skin crawl. Algol is a *great* choice for him.
ReplyDeleteAlso, reading the Left Behind books was an odd experience for me. I loved them, but no one I knew at the time was reading them. Not school friends, church friends, or family. It was almost list a dirty little secret for me. I'm thrilled that my grown-up friends read them too!
I can't wait to hear more about this trilogy AND Perseus (I know where you're going with this...)
