Trojan Horse: For Better or for Worse

In the original they did not have the gods shown playing war. The war started because Paris wanted Helen to be safe in Troy. In the play the gods made it so that Paris would get Helen. Also The gods were taken much more seriously in the original version and Helen was not a ditsy. The reason that they brought in the horse at the end was because they saw sign from Poseidon that they should keep it, not because of Helen wanting a Unicorn.

In the play the gods chose the war to happen because they wanted to play a game. Also most of the gods and adults were being childish in the play. Helen was a complete ditsy and because of her they brought in the horse at the end and not because of sign from the god Poseidon. Also the original does not have anything to do with modern day things but the play has many allusions to modern day things. Much of it is the same though because they have most of the same characters except Ares is in the play instead of Apollo. It is good because it is funny and comedy never fails to appease and that is why

I like the new story better because comedy is always more fun to read than a serious story.

  1. I think that it was good but I think that the conclusion needed a little more.

  2. I agree but still needs work on the summary of the war (how it started).
