Bandits and Outlaws

In the famous story Robin Hood, he robbed from the rich and gave to the poor. Is this acceptable?? Honestly, as i was growing up i thought that Robin Hood was a good person and he did the right thing, even though i knew it was wrong. Is it because the unfortunate gained? Yes i do think so.



I suppose, for example if i use a loan shark, they will give money to poor people, those who cannot afford a loan and are able to pay back bit by bit, but the loan shark is robbing from them and there is nothing they can do about it. I think that this is wrong and unacceptable.



Poor people, i think, will do anything to have a little bit of money, so getting involved with loan sharks is the only option, also Robin Hood in these peoples eyes, are doing good and is a genuinely nice person.



Heros or Villians??

Loan sharks are villians, they dont care about anyone but themselves and if they are gaining from these poor people, but on the other hand, the story of Robin Hood, would be seen as a hero. Is this because he doesnt ask for anything in return? Maybe so.

Or is because a loan shark is classed as a law breaker and criminals?? Robin Hood wasnt.
