Bandits and Outlaws


Robin hood the prince of theives. One of the most famous Outlaws. Is viewed as a national hero due to him stealing from the rich and giving to the poor.
This fictional or true character is very much socioally accepted as a hero.
Whats gets me is, why are people like Robin Hood so loved by society when their behaviour is anything but good.
This makes me think why are people that do things that are considered 'Bad' by society then idolised.
I found the lecture very interesting as it made me question, my own morals. It was interesting to look at the outlaws and bandits in terms of political and revolutionary aspects.
