Honestly i thought that a lot of things in thg were bad but avoxs were the WORST. If i was an Avox i would probably die because i couldn't talk and no one could understand me. How do y'all think that they will make the Avoxs in the movie? i have no clue...

I don't think they will really show many avoxes up close except for Laviana. Maybe them trying to talk but not working? You could tell by the people in uniforms but I can't really see anything else much happening I'd hate to see if they opened their mouths or something. That might be a bit freaky  |

If they did open their mouths, I bet they would use some kinda of computer annimation to show that they had no tougne.

The only thing that bugged me about the avox were the fact they couldn't scream tho. You can totally scream without a tongue. But the Avoxes were a pretty bad thing.  poor Lavinia and Pollix |

Yeah, Avoxs are pretty sick :/ I felt so bad for them.
They remind me of this opera called The Medium. There's a character who's tongue was taken out. And he loves this girl but he can't say it. He dies in the end....
Pleasant, eh?

I don't think it'll show them with no toungues. I think it will probably have Effie or someone explain what they are.

They might do. I mean, the books are all about poverty and war and stuff, so why would they tune down all of that stuff? The books are good because of the way everything is written realistically, which gives it all the emotional weight. The stuff that happens is so fundamentally wrong.. And maybe they cut off their tongues really far back into their throats... I don't know, I don't really want to think about it |

Of course, Katniss's Avox friend in book one is finally revealed to be named Lavinia. Collins uses a lot of Shakespeare references (I found EIGHTEEN Shakespeare names for instance). And Lavinia is the daughter of Titus Andronicus from the play of the same name. In the play, she's abused by some soldiers and then they cut off her tongue and her hand so she can't tell anyone her story. Like her, the avoxes are the perpetual victims, the voiceless disenfranchised minorities of their world.
