Characters of Humility: Robin Hood


Back story:
Robin Hood is an old English folklore of an outlaw was very skilled bow the folk story meant to be set at the beginning of the 19th century. Robin Hood was well known for his catchphrase of "Rock from the rich and give to the poor" along with his group of fellow outlaws nicknamed the Merry men according to the folk tale they would stop rich folk or the local sheriffs gold deliveries and then take that treasure and give it to the poor to help them through harsh times they were going through. There be many variations of the Robin Hood story told recently with a film with Russell Crowe and also a television series done by BBC1 in which Robin Hood is a survivor of the holy wars and come back to find his landing ruin and is people oppressed though many variations exist the main story stays the same of a legendary bowman who would help the poor.

Robin Hood and humility:
The actions that Robin Hood supposedly taken a very rooted at the virtue of humility means not only did he risk his own life to save himself very frequently risked more to feed the poor. Not only stealing from the rich would he have been put in prison but most likely executed so he risked his life not for personal gain but so the poor could not be oppressed or beaten down. According to some variations of the myth Robbin faced many different foes and according to the old myth would face and no hesitation. Robin Hood nowadays could be resembled some other active groups like say anonymous. As with Robin Hood it would give the poor voice and out of anonymous they give the powerless voice. Robin Hood is a cross between a vigilantes and social hero as he tried to make it fair for everyone but with the use of force.
