This is the first time we see John Proctor in Act IV, and also the first time we see him since he was made prisioner at the end of Act III. Whereas before he was a prosperous farmer, now he bears on his face and his body the rigors of prison: he looks "bearded, filthy, his eyes misty as though webs had overgrown them". He tells Elizabeth that he has been tortured, and he has also suffered for her (she is pregnant). We will soon see that the change is not only external; he has aquired a newfound resolve that will lead him to reject the possibility of saving himself by lying.

The Hunger Games: Mockingjay book:

sladkih [1.3K]

Answer: A) allusion

Explanation: It can't be foreshadowing as anyone who read the series already knew what kind of leader Coriolanus Snow was. It also can't be or B) because the definition of personification is the attribution of a human characteristics to something nonhuman. Now it could be C) but the author uses symbolism a lot in the Hunger Games series, for example the white roses and the Mockingjay as well as the Mockingjay pin, and comparing the character Coriolanus Snow stemming from Shakespeare's play Coriolanus doesn't seem like how she writes symbolism but I could be wrong. The definition of allusion is an expression designed to call something to mind without mentioning it explicitly or an indirect or passing reference and that sounds like what the author is going for with having Coriolanus Snow based off of Shakespeare's play Coriolanus.
