In the Iliad, we
several times see Helen expressing regret at leaving Menelaus and her disgust
with Paris. How is Helen portrayed in
this film? Is she right to leave
Menelaus? How is their relationship portrayed? Does the love between Helen
and Paris justify the devastation the war brings? How much is she a free
agent? How is she perceived by Trojan
society? What is Helen's fate at the end of the film? Monica Cyrino (article posted on UB Learns) argues that in the film, Helen is a harbinger of doom for the Trojans. Do you agree? In what scenes is she associated with death towards the end of the film?
