Robin Hood is a classic tale of good versus evil. Robin constantly engages in battles against the antagonist, the sheriff of Nottingham. Robin of Loxley is very popular amongst the needy, since he steals from the rich and corrupt and gives the spoils to the poor. His actions improve the lives of the less fortunate and this makes it even more difficult for the authorities to track him down or even capture him. In addition to being a champion of the poor, Robin Hood shows a strong allegiance to the rightful King, Richard the Lion Hearted. Robin's strongest ties were to his "merry men", and above all to his true love, maid Marion.
Robin Hood is an outlaw and like most outlaws of his time he had a reward on his head. The old adage "Two things do not make a right" comes into play here. No matter how one looks at it, stealing is bad. The Government of the day stole from the poor in the form of excessive taxes, and Robin Hood stole from those who represented the system, in order to help the poor. From a legal standpoint Robin is wrong for stealing and to many he is unjustified in his actions. .
Robin Hood did what I considered to be morally right. His actions were meant to improve the lives of others and not for personal gain, therefore I identify with his motives. The rich lived in splendor and were oblivious to the needs of the poor and downtrodden. Robin righted this wrong by being a champion of the poor, while remaining loyal to Richard the lion hearted, who was away at the time. .
