    When we hear or see the name Robin Hood, we think of the heroic outlaw in the English folklore who, according to legend, was a highly skilled archer and swordsman. Traditionally depicted as being dressed in Lincoln green, he is often portrayed as “robbing from the rich and giving the poor” alongside his band of Merry Men. Robin Hood became a popular folk figure in the late-medieval period, and continues to be widely represented in literature, films and television. The nonprofit organization located in New York, the Robin Hood Foundation has a legal philosophy of “taking from the rich and giving to the poor”. The mission of this organization states that the Robin Hood Foundation is New York’s the largest poverty-fighting organization, and…

    The legend of Robin Hood has been around for nearly one thousand years. For the past several hundred years, Robin and his Merry Men have been known for stealing from the rich, particularly tax collectors, and giving to the poor; however, because this is still stealing and Robin had also killed at least one of the king’s deer, Robin and his men were known as outlaws. While they may have been outlaws, Robin Hood and his Merry Men were more like knights in the way that they dealt honorably with opponents in battle, defended the weak and helpless, and protected women and children.…

    Robin Hood Thesis

    “Robin Hood and Little John walking through the forest, laughing back and forth at the what the other'ne has to say... Oo-De-Lally, Oo-de-lally Golly, what a day.” When many Americans hear the name “Robin Hood,” these lyrics from the Disney animated movie come to mind. Howard Pyle, who wrote The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood, which was published in 1883, did not write those words, but he did write an entertaining, adventurous book for not only children, but also for teens and adults. Robin Hood is a hero to the poor, but an annoyance to the rich. The book begins with Robin Hood and his gang, called the Merry Men, in Sherwood Forrest, where they live. Robin is an outlaw and an enemy of the Sheriff of Nottingham because he has killed the king's…

    Robin Hood Case Study

    • 3673 Words
    • 15 Pages

    Robin Hood is facing numerous problems and issues, but I think the most pressing problem is the fact that the band of Merrymen has far outgrown the available resources in Sherwood Forest. Robin Hood’s faith in succeeding by strength in numbers is quickly becoming a contributor to their downfall. Income is low at this point as well, so purchasing supplies, whether near or far, will soon become impossible. If the men aren’t fed, the men can’t function. Not only is the lack of available resources a problem, but the group itself is unorganized and is lacking sufficient leadership. The issue of the group’s decline in vigilance and discipline could lead to dire consequences, especially with the Sheriff actively searching for the band’s weaknesses, and this needs to be resolved immediately.…
