One thing that got left out of the film adaptation of The Hunger Games was a punishment the Capital did to certain people— Avoxes were so-called because they had their tongue removed and were made mute. Tonguelessness is often equated with mutism in fiction, despite the fact that the English language has several sounds that can be made without the tongue entirely. I know we have a trope called "Tongue Torture" or something like that, but I find it odd that for something that has been around since at least the time of Shakespeare (see Lavinia in Titus Andronicus), we don't have a trope for someone being tongueless making them mute.
