The Hunger Games: Mockingjay book: The character Coriolanus Snow stems from Shakespeare's play Coriolanus. In the play, Coriolanus is also a leader who terrorizes his people. Which literary device does this best describe?

A) allusion

B) foreshadowing

C) symbolism

D) personification

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.

“asleep in his bed” is personified.
