Euripides' The Trojan Women and Edward Bond's The Woman: Ancient and Modern Shrieks Against Wars

Abstract

Abstract

    This paper is a thematic study of two plays that have tackled war. One play dated long back to the ancient Greek era in which Euripides wrote his 415 BC play The Trojan Woman whereas the other play The Woman was written in the 20^th century, particularly in 1978 by the British playwright Edward Bond. The paper is to review how the two playwrights have approached the same Trojan war to reveal their own perspectives.
