let Helen be a flawed, complicated character who's allowed to have traits that might make her unlikeable (challenge level: impossible)
#capri talks#lowkey a vent after reading someone say 'if helen loved paris and went along with him that would make her a love sick moron'#??? why are women prevented from being tragic characters??? let helen have hubris and feelings please. PLEASE.#I am quickly learning there is a whole spectrum of opinions about helen and paris on this site. im just sitting here trying to eat my salad#it's almost as if helen must be held up to some undefined moral standard or else we get people going 'what's the point of her character?'#and that makes me weep. she's so much more than that! she doesn't lose her nuance if she chooses to go with paris!#in fact there's a lot of interesting things to consider if she does!! but she can have so much nuance either way!! *screams*#okay deep breaths... i'm done ranting for now lol#helen of sparta
