Robin Hood

Yeah, gotta do a paper on him.
What are ways he isnt moral/heroic?
Besides the obvious that he steals from people that might have actually worked hard for their money.
Thanks

If you look at him through the establishments eyes they see him as a thief and robber. It all depends on who is looking at him and judging what he does.

He is going against laws of a society in an anti-productive way. Instead of contributing to a better government, he is breaking down the current system.

not heroic: he hid in the woods

 

Maybe he wasn't suicidally insane?
There would be no chance of a few English jomen against the Norman cavalry on an open field.

Oh, btw, consider reading "Ivanhoe" by Sir Walter Scott, it will give you a glimpse of that time (Robin Hood, King Richard III and a few others included).

He was cruel to his victims and a huge liar.

 

i think heroes (in a military context) are usually suicidally insane.i read ivanhoe about 8 years ago,remember quite liking it but dont actually remember much about it.was made into a tv thing with the bastard captain from the last of the mohicans i think.

 

Just like Avatar here. Must have been a charming man.

 

Robin Hood was a terrorist and a commie.

 

*gasp!* *shock!* *terror!* a terrorist?!

yes, a popular word nowadays, soon they will put it on toilet paper too

 

Are you to compare him to the classical hero? With the plot trend, flaws, and all?....

 

Who said I do that? I like him though. Nowhere have I mentioned "classical hero".

 

He fought against the government, stuck it to the man (literally- arrows!). Me see no bad in the character.
