The Wise Fools of Shakespeare “Infirmity that decays the wise doth ever make a better fool” – though uttered by one of his own characters Shakespeare does not seem to conform to this ideal. The fools carved by Shakespeare in his plays showed no resemblance to the mentally and physically challenged people who were treated as pets and used for amusement during the medieval period.

The Stepford Wives and in Peele’s film, Get Out, both directors have a central idea of reconstructing our society for it to best suited for us, as individuals. Unless you knew going in that both of these movies were in the genre of Horror, you wouldn’t be expecting it, more in The Stepford Wives than in Get Out. However the interesting part about both of these works is that they both have an oddly similar theory behind them, and it leads the viewer to believe that The Stepford Wives could have been

Levin uses the novel as a way to draw attention to this process and to the overall problem of idealization. The novel itself could be taken as a piece of propaganda that alerts people to the dangers posed on women and the worldwide phenomena of triumphant patriarchies. Modern commercial societies continually bombard and incentivize women to turn themselves into the “ideal” in terms of body type, skin complexion, etc. Is this not “Disneyfication” of a sort?

The focus is thus brought to the audience, as writers of

named the Merry Men, who are all outlaws. They fight to steal from the rich and give the stolen money to the poor and helpless. As the Normans believe that the Merry Men are all bandits, they are more like knights in the eyes of the Saxons. They follow their own code that is similar to the Knightly Code. They act upon the creed they swore upon, remembering that they must defend the weak, grant mercy to enemies, and deal honorably with opponents in battle. One knightly code that the Merry Men present

Robin Hood is a hero outlaw of English medieval folklore who stole from the rich in order to give to the poor. In Ayn Rand’s landmark novel Atlas Shrugged, Ragnar Danneskjöld, one of John Galt’s first converts, says he wants to destroy Robin Hood, meaning he wants to destroy the philosophy of Robin Hood as acted out by the looting government.

Fact or fiction? The thrilling adventures of Robin Hood have survived nearly 800 years. Never ceasing to amaze the reader. Many have spent their days wondering if this English hero was actually more than just a legend. Robin achieved great things in his life, although too great, it seems, for a real man.
