Trojan War Play


Author's note: I wrote this to demonstrate text analysis.

One event that that changed to the modern story from the original is the Trojan horse part of it.  In the original story the people of Troy decide to keep the horse.  In the play Helen asks Paris if she could keep it.  Also when Helen says I wish it was a unicorn that changed, because back then they didn’t know what that was.  The people thought it was a gift from Poseidon, because he is the god of the sea, earthquakes and horses.  In the play it was just for killing Achilles.  The scene in the original was it was more dark and in the play it seemed more happy and more cheerful.

A character that changed was Helen, because she was the prettiest girl.  The stereotype is that people that are pretty or hansom are dumb.  They changed that in the play.  A thing that stayed the same was the Poseidon built the walls of Troy and that stayed the same in the play.  The play was a good remake in some parts and a bad remake in other part of it.  The changes  in the play were so that it was more funny.
