Theme Of Robin Hood

ROBIN HOOD In the years of King Richard the Lionheart (1189-1199) there lived a brave and intelligent man called Robin Hood. He was a feared outlaw, who loved liberty and hated oppression. He took the law into his own hands and robbed the rich to give to the poor. People loved him and thought of him as a justice-maker. In time he acquired a heroic reputation and came to represent the ideal of heroism of his age. Stories about him and his closest friends Friar Tuck, Little John, and Maid Marian may be found in the time. They say that Robin Hood and his companions lived in Sherwood Forest, near Nottingham. They were called the ‘merry men’ and used to wear green clothes, a particular shade of green, called

The first reason are that the defend the weak and helpless, Robin Hood and his Merry men protect them from the bad guys. For example, When the men got caught for shooting king’s deer, Robin Hood came in protected him and said that he shot the deer. This is important because if Robin Hood wouldn't've come and save the men, he could’ve got killed because the consequence for shooting the king’s deer is death. This shows that Robin Hood took the blame and helped defend the weak. Another example, when Robin Hood was showing Maid Marian around, he showed her the homeless shelter that Robin Hood and his Merry men had provided. This is important because the homeless could’ve starve to death or die from sickness, but Robin Hood give them a shelter and food to eat. This shows that Robin Hood and his Merry men save a lot of poor and help them survive. Robin Hood and his Merry men are like knights of the round table because they defend the weak and helpless.

This essay will examine how inversion and charivari, as elements of the carnivalesque, represented peasant society and social tensions in late medieval Europe. Inversion and charivari are the specific aspects of the carnivalesque this essay has chosen to focus on because it was necessary to be selective from within the vast collection of events and themes which are covered as part of the carnivalesque. Medieval peasant society revolved around calendrical carnival events and celebrations. The broader theme of inversion allows this essay to examine the social tensions

The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938) tells a tale of thieves that behave more honorable than the nobles of their time. The bandits known as the Merry Men lead by a notorious thief and Errol named Robin Hood (Errol Flynn). He leads the Merry Men in treacherous deeds to steal from those who have the most in the land and give everything they take to lazy, scumbags, treacherous, poor people. They protect the helpless women and children from the noble knights and kings. This seems very confusing to most because the Merry Men are supposed to be the enemy of the righteous people. In this essay we are going to discuss the key notes of the Code of Chivalry to express why Robin Hood and his Merry Men are actually noble even though they are robbing and breaking the code.

Robin Hood faces a myriad of problems that can potentially influence the changes that are crucial for Robin’s organization, as well as affect the effectiveness of the insurrection. As the CEO of his organization, Robin has the

Along with the decor, the superior quality of food and drink plays a prominent role in the idea of courtesy because the finest provisions are generally reserved for special occasions. The narrator describes “[g]ood beer and bright wine” (129) as standard beverages for the event. Likewise, guests feasted on “dainties . . . [and] dishes rare” (121) served in elegant fashion. The superb caliber of the fare reflects a conscious effort to favor guests in gracious style.

A thief considered a hero. He was an excellent archer. Robin Hood was a hero in his time. While many believe he was a thief and a villain to the law, others feel he was a hero to the poor. Some people might say that Robin Hood stole from the government, and stealing is a crime, no matter what your cause is. They might also say that if people in this day and time stole from the rich and gave the money to the poor, they would be arrested because stealing is against the law. Finally, people who think Robin Hood was wrong in what he did might say that he betrayed his country.

<br>People can learn a lesson not only about glory, but of bravery also. Besides glory, bravery is used throughout the novel also. An example of this is when Sir Brian de Bois-Guilbert dies for Rebecca. Ivanhoe demonstrates bravery when he fights Brian to repay Rebecca for her care when he is hurt. He is also very brave when he fights for his Saxon image. Even though he is not a major character in this book, Robin Hood also shows bravery. He robs from the rich and gives to the poor which breaks certain parts in the Code of Chivalry. Through his actions, he fulfills part of the Code. He is brave and has a love of adventure in doing so, but his integrity and respect to the king is taken by his criminal actions. People can learn from these examples that sometimes being brave is not pretty. Both Sir Brian de Bois-Guilbert and Robin Hood had to suffer consequences for being brave.

In the 16th century, Robin Hood was known as a noble person who was deprived of his land. This made Robin Hood known as more of a real aristocrat because of this way of him being known. Is it said that Robin Hood may have been a Yorkshireman called the Robin of Loxley. He is said to have lived during the 11th and 12th centuries and is described as a knight. He is known for wearing green and for his great skills with a bow and arrow. Robin Hood hid from his enemies in the Major Oak Tree in Sherwood

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.

Robin Hood was a man who loved life and sought adventure in every aspect of his life. Although, he has a made some mistakes he typically tried to do good. He loved people, especially women and children. I would not consider him a true follower of a Christ, but rather a man who does good works. In Titus 3:5 it says, “Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit.” (New King James Version, Tit. 3.5) This verse is basically saying that you cannot get to heaven through good works. God’s grace and mercy is what allows us to get into heaven, but we have to make that choice.

While this would satisfy Robin personally, this would not provide a true solution to what the Merrymen seek. After the sheriff is dead there would be another person there to take his place that would continue to the same thing.

This Paper is a summarization of Chapters 5-8 of The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood. Robin hood is a wanted outlaw and the sheriff is itching to catch him. Robin lives in Sherwood Forest, which is a fairly large timberland right outside the city of Nottingham. Robin Hood has 140 merry men, who are ready at any given time. The sheriff tries three different acts to catch Robin Hood. He fails inadequately all three times. In chapter 5-8 Robin Hood is very sneaky with the sheriff and so are his merry men. Will Robin Hood get caught? Will he lose some of his merry men? Or will he lose his life? Let’s find out.

One of Robin Hood’s problems was the increasing size of his band. He was hoping that strength lay in numbers and the more Merry men he had, the better it would be for him to fight against the sheriff’s administration. He did not put enough attention into the number of people that were being recruited. The problem occurred when the number of me increased; the band turns into a big company complicating the situation and interests of the initial ideology. While more men were recruited into the organization, Robin had less face-to-face interaction with all men. The missing interaction makes things get out of control and get hard for him to enforce rules and regulations, turning

The size of the band of Merrymen is becoming too large for the economic resources available. Robin is feeling like he is not in touch with his employees because of the increasing size of the band. Vigilance is in decline and discipline is becoming hard to enforce. Robin needs to decide whether or not to change the business strategy of the band from confiscation of goods from the rich to a fixed transit tax.
