Schmidt, Mr. Hoodhood acted like a robot who showed people that he only cares about himself, but later on in the book he showed that he loves Heather and cares about Holling and has blood running through his veins.

Throughout history, no matter the number of times heroes change, the foundation of what makes a hero stays the same. In order to stay relevant to the times, Modern heroes, such as Robin Hood, can appear very different from classical heroes, like Odysseus, but they will always be very skillful with a weapon yet suffer from hubris. Therefore, Homer’s The Odyssey, the 13th-century Rifson ballad, and Pyle’s The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood depict that Odysseus and Robin Hood are similar in the skill of archery to outwit each of their respective enemies and hubris, a flaw which directly aligns with glory.

Pen Densham, the writer of the script, chose to both add and take away vital scenes of the story. In an original story told by H. E. Marshall, Robin Hood fought in the war alongside King Richard until he was one of the last standing. In this adaptation of the classic, Robin was never taken as prisoner. Whereas in Robin Hood Prince of Thieves, One of the opening scenes shows noble Robin Hood taken prisoner in an enemy prison.

In the Classic story written by Marshall, when word of Robin Hood seeking shelter in the Sherwood forest, the Merry Men accepted Robin into their group with no question. While in the movie, Robin was stopped by Little John when trying to cross the river. Little John demanded that Robin “pay a tax” to gain access across the river. After fighting and defeating Little John, still weary the merry men allowed Robin to join in their

Friar Laurence is a priest and is also a doctor. He knows how to brew using plants and flowers which means he is also a doctor because Friar says “Poison hath residence, and medicine power….Being tasted, slays all senses with the heart.” (2.3.25-26) . He precipitously makes decisions.

These lines from a poem about Robin Hood, written by Daniel Koschalka describe him, “Listen, To this famous tale of a brave outlaw, Who loved stealing gold from England’s rich, And giving it out to England’s poor.” (Koschalka, Lines 1-4). Robin would face many dangers as the powerful English people had many resources available to attempt to capture Robin and his men, but Robin ignored this and continued to help the poor people of England. When confronted, these heroes conquered their fears to assist their loved ones when they were in

His mother and father along with the entire kingdom took immense pride their brave Robin. Because of his courageous journey, Robin received his deeply longed for

Also, speaking of the robin, in the movie he doesn’t make a big appearance. Yes he is there, but in the book he is made out to be almost a main character, and a close companion to Mary. Yes it is said that he does become a friend of Mary, but after that you don’t see much of him. Not until spring that is. I really wish they had used more of him in the movie.

“‘Here was a man who had inspired an entire nation with his words and his courage, who had revived the people's hope during the darkest of times ... who selflessly fought the evils of racism during the most terrible days of apartheid.’—Nelson Mandela.” (Gale). In this quote, Mandela was speaking of Archbishop Desmond Mpilo Tutu, an exceptionally passionate man who heroically fought for equality among South Africans. A hero is someone who willingly puts himself in a dangerous situation and exhibits selflessness and courage throughout the process of helping someone, regardless of the outcome.

When dealing with the fictional character of Robin Hood, it is easy to get lost in the fantasy of his tale because of the additions to the story through oral tradition over the years. However, there was a real- life Robin Hood who was much different than what twentieth century cinemas portrayed him as being. The real Robin Hood was born at Locksley in the county of Nottingham during the reign of Henry II. It may be confusing to many people to hear that he was a yeoman, nothing more, nothing less. The ideal supremacy from his legends depicts him as being a knight in shining armor, but the history from his ballads tells otherwise.

In other words, the concept of Robin Hood was simply folklore with no basis in reality aside from the general societal atmosphere at the time of inception. This is primarily justified by the lack of concrete evidence to the contrary. On the other hand, Dr. R.H. Hilton points to agrarian discontent during the 13th and 14th century as support for the nonexistence of Robin Hood. Hilton claims that economic conflict between the oppressed peasants and the wealthy landlords and officials served as the foundation for the Robin Hood myth. Additional support for Hilton’s rationale can be found in the emergence of the ballad as a popular literary form of the period. Robin Hood draws similarities to known allegorical characters in other ballads of the time, implying that Robin Hood is purely literary in nature. Dr. Stephen Knight, a leading scholar on Robin Hood generally agrees with Hilton’s conclusions, explaining that Robin Hood likely emerged as a representative of non-wealthy free men in opposition to the corrupt landowners and serfdom. Knight explains the endurance of the Robin Hood narrative through the ages: “He represents resistance to local oppression – freedom and liberty in whatever shape you need it to
