In “A View From The Bridge” by Arthur Miller I believe that Eddie is the character who changes most in the course of the play.

Robin Hood is perhaps one of the most iconic English luminaries‚ an outlaw living in Sherwood Forest with his ‘Merry Men’ . His ethos of “robbing from the rich and giving to the poor” made him adored by many‚ as he is seen as a figure who fought for the downtrodden.
