War

Author's Note: This is a comparison between the two characters Helen, from Greek mythology, and Bella, from Twilight. Showing the similarities between their love. 

The face that launched one thousand ships or the face that launched the fight between supernatural creatures? Helen, Greek goddess  with undeniable looks, started the heated Trojan war. Men killing for the ownership of one women. Bella, awkward girl next door, caught the eyes and hearts of two men. One being a vampire, Edward, and the other being a werewolf, Jacob. These two women represent the power and movement their love can have.

It’s mainly the power. The power of love and ownership these women’s men look for. Although the time periods are different, the personalities and plot are much alike. Bella and Helen are indecisive women. Helen had an affair while Bella was deciphering between two men. Both women live fictional lives, Bella has love with mystical creatures. While Helen lived in the times of Greek mythology. Then when they finally choose a man a war breaks out.
