Cheaters

In the original story “The Trojan Horse” by Virgil, it started toward the end of the war. It mainly concentrated on the horse part of it. Helen in this story acted as a mature adult who was the wife of a king. In the new version of this story it tells us about how it started and ended. The play skipped a lot of the story in the middle. On top of that it said that the soldiers were behind the horse  even though they made the horse seem/sound small, almost as if it were two feet high and a toy.

The new version was kind of a little kid version of the story making it goofy and inaccurate. Also Helen in this play, acted if she was the king’s teenage daughter. She was a girly girl and not mature at all. If I were going to rate the new and the old stories, I would give the old a 7 out of 10 and the new a 5 out of 10. I liked the old version much better because it was more accurate and realistic. I didn’t like the new one because of the goofiness and sense that it was made for little kids.

This story reminds me a lot of the show “Cheaters”. This when one of the two that are married believes that the other one is having a affair with someone else. Then the crew goes into action and catches them in the act. At the end they confront him and give him/her a piece of their mind. This is like the Trojan horse because Helen was the one that was cheating. She was then caught in the act. So when the Spartan king when over there to give her a piece of his mind she was hiding. In the end the Spartan king got his girl back and she promised never to do it again, just like everyone else.
