After looking over the requirements for this assignment I decided to.
" It was performed at the USF Theatre on.
November 8, 2001 at 8:00pm. Not only did I choose this play because it was.
the only one I had not seen, but also because I love history and thought I.
could possibly relate to it more and learn some interesting facts that.

occurred in time. The story was set at the end of the Trojan War in which all.
the suffering people as well as survivors were depicted through the chorus.
As this tragedy progresses, the Greeks then destroy the city of Troy which.
causes a great turmoil. All the women and children are in horror as they sit.
outside the gates of Troy and watch as their city is being destroyed as well.
as their loved ones and lives. Not only did this event cause emotional grief.
but also the worry of the Greek soldiers sending the Trojan women to slavery.
had caused many to starve because of the intensity of the event was too.
overwhelming to think about eating. Those who did eat most likely.
regurgitated it because of all the stress going on. Hecuba who is the queen.
of Troy has to not only keep the city from going into shock but also has to.
manage the death of her family as well. The entire controversy with Troy and.

seek new things in her life. After Helen was captured, Menelaus had decided.
to create a conspiracy to get Helen back, keep Troy at its doom and send all.
the Trojan Women to slavery. Hecuba the queen had to remind him that this.
would not of been the best idea considering that Helen was one of the main.
causes of this tragic war. At the end, Helen admits her adultery and ends up.
blaming it on Paris. After Helen pleads her cause Menelaus offers to kill.
