The following quotes are from popular films and books. Choose a quote, put it in a sentence and explain what is says about the character.
E.g. In The Hunger Games, Katniss Everdeen demonstrates the sacrificial love she has for her sister when she 'volunteer[s] as tribute', so that Primrose does not have to compete in the games. This further supports the notion that Katniss has greater love for her sister than she does for herself.

Quotes:
President Snow in The Hunger Games: 'Hope. It is the only thing stronger than fear. A little hope is effective. A lot of hope is dangerous. A spark is fine, as long as it's contained.
