The Trojan War

In the Trojan War, the whole war started because of one girl. Everyone coveted this woman, Helen of Troy. Most men would die or fight wars for her, and so it was. When Paris, the prince of Troy, ran off with Helen it caused a war. This goes to show that people are willing to fight a war over one single woman.

In the movie Anger Management, there are two men that meet on a plane. One of them gets mad at the fight attendant and has to attend the other mans anger management therapy. After a while, the therapist sets up a prank so that the other man’s girlfriend breaks up with him, kind of like a Trojan Horse in a way. It kind of resembles the way the Trojan War was. It started over a beautiful girl and the rivals used trickery to defeat the Trojans.

Some stuff is the same about these two stories, but some stuff is completely different.  In Anger Management, the story ends good for the man who lost his girl, and same thing with King Menelaus because Helen came running back to him. The difference is the man came running back to the girl in Anger Management.
