    Goeth's Confusion?

Judging by Goeth’s caring‚ yet abusive relationship with Helen‚ Goeth was confused because he saw Helen as a real person‚ not an animal. Goeth’s confusion of what to believe in causes him to act out in an abusive manner. Throughout

    motive to pursue love‚ Menelaus and Paris fought for Helen of Troy’s affection and love‚ who was the girl they both wished to wed.

Aphrodite made a deal with Paris that if she won the apple for a beauty contest‚ she would give him Helen of Troy (Trojan War). Helen was already married to Menelaus‚ but Aphrodite’s ignorance

    conquer Troy but never had a reason behind it; Paris kidnapped Helen‚ the wife of Menelaus‚ and that made Agamemnon and Menelaus angry. This finally gave Agamemnon a reason to go after Troy.

Paris was a contributor to the start of the war because he stole Helen away from Menelaus and took her to Troy. Both of these men

One may say that those characters are part of The Tragedy of Doctor Faustus because of what their beliefs‚ wishes and actions were. If one considers that‚ one would affirm that Helen is the way to get glory and Faustus is the person who fights for that power and greatness‚ but for a high price. Helen of Troy has
