"The play is a tragedy. Now watch carefully how I saved her from pain."
What could Helen of Troy and Norma Jeane Baker aka Marilyn Monroe possibly have in common?
They are two famous female figures throughout the world who have built an image for themselves, an illusion to guarantee their survival. The gods hide Helen in Egypt, while Paris removes a cloud that looks like her. Norma Jeane builds her own myth Marilyn Monroe a naive Hollywood star with platinum blonde color. Could these two women be nothing more than illusions?
In any case, they are the object of desire. They trigger desires for possession. They trigger wars. They are the most precious possession and the trophy of war.
Royalty and show business have a similar mode of operation dictated by the dominant sex. Anne Carson tells us the story of all women through these two legendary figures. Which allows the author to tell through the story of these two women, a story that speaks of all women.
This play is a tragedy, but as Marilyn said:
“Keep the ball and dare not to worry.”
