Trojan War Play response

The Three Little Brats

Author's Note- This is a response to "The Hysterical History of the Trojan War" play.  It could be turned in to an essay but for now it is just a response.

I can analyze how a character, event, or conflict in a classic text has been adapted into a modern rendition and evaluate why those changes were made.

Topic -
Analyze how Aphrodite is similar and different to a drama queen by seeing how she over-reacted to other beautiful women and winning a bet.

In the play, Aphrodite was not a character that spoke but she did get mentioned a couple times.  Hera and Athena were talking about how Aphrodite was a brat that demanded attention.  Even though Aphrodite is the goddess of beauty she does seem to talk way to much about herself.  Until the Trojan war she thought only of herself.  Since Helen got in to the picture, Hera and Athena got infuriated with Aphrodite.  That's why the Trojan war started.

Aphrodite is much like a drama queen because they demand attention.  Aphrodite is the goddess of beauty and drama queens really try to think that they are the most beautiful girls in the world.  In the play they really try to emphasize that Aphrodite, Hera, and Athena are brats, this shows their ignorance and selfishness. I think it makes sense because this is a war started over bribery of beauty queens demanding attention and looking for a man to love them just for their looks and win a bet.
