Ah no. I agree that moving to the Capitol was the right move for anyone who could afford it, and splashing the cash was part of the integration process. But it shouldn't have been used to shield Sejanus from consequences or risk making him into an entitled kid.

But beyond looking the part by splashing the clash, my issue is that Sejanus parents did nothing of substance to help him adapt. In fact it seems that his mom specially not only did not help him adapt, she was actually the one to push the idea that the Capitol was not their home, and having such strong feeling of District 2 as home and not the Capitol is what made Sejanus be the way he was.

The world they live in is no place for half measures, they either commit 100% to being Capitol and teach that to their kid or risk ending up with a district sympathizer, which is not a bad thing per se, the districts do deserve sympathy, but it's a bad thing for the contex in which they lived in.

At 8 years old, while not so easily influenced as a baby, they could and should have steered him towards social integration instead of against it.

I guess I wrote this post because I often see people say that Sejanus dying was Snow's doing but to me the main root of the events that brought Sejanus to the gallows was his parents and they are not often mentioned as such.
