The story of Robin Hood, the famous archer and advocate for the poor, has been adapted into hundreds of books, films, and television series. However, Robin Hood was not always depicted as a beloved hero, stealing from the rich and redistributing to the poor. In fact, many early representations of Robin Hood characterize him as a morally ambiguous, primarily self-interested yeoman.

During my college years Theresa was such a
