THE Robin Hood concept has always delighted me since the days of Errol Flynn in the 1938 The Adventures of Robin Hood. With his band of Merry Men, he robs from the rich, gives to the poor and still has time to woo the lovely maid Marian, and foil the cruel Sir Guy of Gisbourne, and keep the nefarious Prince John off the throne. Or so as the story goes. The adventures were narrated most notably in Howard Pyle's – The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood.
The point Robin Hood was making is that he wants to return to the poor, that which has been unjustly taken from them. It also taught that an oppressive authority can be rightfully opposed. The ill-gotten gains can be forcefully taken and distributed to the victims.
