Legally Blonde


In Greek mythology, the goddess Helen was the most beautiful and most desirable woman. All the God’s wanted her to be theirs. She was the main reason for the Trojan war. Helen is a lot like Warner Huntington from the movie “Legally Blonde”. He thinks he is to good for his girlfriend Elle Woods, he breaks up with her and goes off to Harvard law school. He thinks she is dumb and doesn’t deserve to be with him. Like him Helen knew all the guy wanted her and her and a few other Greek Goddesses had a God choose who was the most beautiful.

In the Trojan war Helen was being fought over by Menelaus her husband and king of Sparta and the Trojan prince, Paris. They actually had a war over her, where as in the movie they just secretly fought over him knowing they both wanted him for themselves. Also in the movie Warner wanted to be with someone more serious and that had something going for them. But when Elle made it into Harvard Law school just like him he realized that he still wanted her because she was confident. But by then she realized she was better off without him. Yet in the Trojan war the two God’s kept fighting over Helen.
