Robin Hood and his Merrymen

1. The strategic objective of Robin Hood and his Merrymen is to increase in number to be able to seek justice from the sheriff and his administration.

2. Robin’s objective doesn’t match those of his merrymen. While Robin seem to be planning constantly how to get rid of the sheriff, the merrymen were just interested in enjoying by playing games and looting rich merchants and above continue with the little freedom they have.

3. The strategy doesn’t seem viable in the long term in that while the number of people increases, they have little to feed on. Their chance of surviving is slim. The merrymen were neither vigilant nor discipline to be trained as potential fighters against the sheriff whose was more organized for battle in the near future. In the division of labor, the men in charge of various task in Robin’s camp did not have control. Robin also still had a major challenge because the sheriffs seem to have the local authority backing him as well as the judiciary and also for the fact that even if he gets rid of sheriff it will not change things. That means Robin will stil have opposition to face even if the sheriff is not there.
