Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves

Robin Hood is funny! Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves is a movie about Robin Hood saving the lives of poor people and getting revenge for his father’s death. The main events of the movie take place in Sherwood Forest. Some themes of this movie are loyalty, action, adventure, and love which made it interesting and fun to watch. In my essay, I will discuss two of Robin Hood’s best qualities. They are his bravery and his courage. One example of early in the movie is Robin’s bravery is when he helps his friends,
Peter and Azeem, escape from jail in Jerusalem. Another example later in the movie is when
Robin fights six men all by himself. These men worked for the Sheriff of Nottingham. Since the Sheriff killed Robin’s father, he became a sworn enemy of young Locksley. A third way that Robin shows his bravery is when he slices the Sheriff’s face with a sword. Robin’s bravery showed the movie audience that he also was a man of courage. Throughout the film, Robin shows many acts of courage. One of first acts of courage is to seek revenge for the Sheriff’s murder of his father. Of course, the Sheriff is the law in Nottingham. Yet the Sheriff killed Robin’s father when he had done nothing wrong. So Robin swore himself to seek revenge against the Sheriff. Robin’s second act of courage is that he promises to protect Lady Marian. Robin made that promise to Peter when he was dying in Jerusalem. Peter was Lady Marian’s brother who had fought in the same crusade with Robin. The three of them, Peter, Marian, and Robin, had been friends since their childhoods. Robin’s third act of courage is when he fights the Sheriff at the end of the movie. The sword fight is dangerous and either Robin or the Sheriff will kill the other during the fight. In conclusion, my essay has been about Robin Hood saving the lives of poor people of Nottingham and getting revenge for his

    Courage is characterized as mental or moral strength to surpass notions of fear. As demonstrated by Atticus Finch and Mrs Dubose in Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird, the development of courage gives the character’s strength and courage to hold their heads high, while fearing none. Harper Lee depicts the theme of courage incalculable amount of times, detailing courage as “ when you know you’re licked before you being, but you begin anyway and you see it through no matter what.” (Chapter 11, Page 124) All of the characters have an alternate kind of perspective of what courage is exactly, which will be examined in depth.…

    Courage, to me previously was just being brave and nothing else. However, after reading about Atticus act of standing up for Tom Robinson, I realized that courage is actually more than bravery. It is also daring to do what no other person would have done. It is about taking risks, regardless of the outcome, that you will do your best. Atticus had himself subjected to the exile of majority of the white community after he took that risk of standing up for Tom Robinson.…

    Robin reflected this particular section of the code when Much had killed one of the king’s deer and Sir Guy was going to kill him for that. Robin claimed that Much was one of his men, which, at the time, he was not, and took the blame for the dead deer instead, though he managed to scare Sir Guy away instead of being killed. This shows Robin defending the weak and helpless because Much surely would have been killed by Sir Guy over the deer if Robin had not stepped in and taken the blame. Later, after having heard the Prince John was going to start raising taxes “for Richard’s ransom,” Robin gathered as many men from the villages as he could to train to fight against John and his men for the people. Robin is defending the weak and helpless here by expanding his forces to keep the court from robbing the poor. Based on these examples, it is clear that Robin Hood and his Merry Men follow the Knightly Code in defending the weak and…
