No Second Troy

The bright line of the Trojan War is the ten-year war that revolved around the super-beautiful Helen. I don't agree with the statement that the beauty is a disaster. On the surface, the war was for a woman, but at a deeper level, it was the face between men and men and the city-state and the city-state. The battle for status. It is not so much that the Greeks want to take her back, it is better that the Greeks use Helen as an excuse to occupy her country Sparta.

A lot of people say that "The Elf Prince" Orlando's Paris is a coward. I don't see it that way. On the contrary, I admire Paris very much. I think his behavior is completely understandable for a prince who has no experience in the world, and I am very I admire his courage to stand up and fight with others, knowing that he is not an enemy. Knowing that he is not strong enough, he still tries his best to avenge his brother. This is the real man, and he is the real fool who goes to his death knowing that he can't beat others.

In Paris, I don't see cowardice, I see the growth of a true Trojan warrior, because no one is born a hero.


At the end of the war, no one got Helen. She disappeared forever in the war...

All that remains is the infinite reverie and the immortal <>.

Why should I blame her that she filled my days
With misery, or that she would of late
Have taught to ignorant men most violent ways,
Or hurled the little streets against the great,
Had they but courage equal to desire?
What could have made her peaceful with a mind
That nobleness made simple as a fire,
With beauty like a tightened bow, a kind
That is not natural in an age like this,
Being high and solitary and most stern?
Why, what could she have done, being what she is?
Was there another Troy for her to burn?
