The most disappointing thing about the TBOSAS movie is that you will occasionally get the impression that Coriolanus is doing something out of the goodness of his heart, which is false. He has no goodness in his heart. Everything he ever does good or bad is for the sole purpose of wanting to get ahead and benefit from it either now or in the future and the only genuine thing he ever felt was love for Lucy Gray and perhaps not even THAT because if she wasn't His Girl and he didn't practically own her for a portion of time would he have ever even loved her?

#the ballad of songbirds and snakes #and even THEN he could never love her more than power #his love can barely stand against mild inconvenience #his whole problem really is that he feels he was born to be someone who should never experience mild inconvenience #let alone the major suffering and ramifications of war #he doesn't feel bad about suffering in the districts because those people are meant to suffer #but not him. For him to suffer is a tragedy
