Robin Hood Research Paper

270 Words2 Pages

One of the villains from my childhood that stands out most is the Sheriff of Nottingham of the Robin Hood stories. The Sheriff of Nottingham is certainly the villain of the legends, despite his position as sheriff to Robin Hood’s bandit. The Sheriff is typically considered to be a political appointee by Prince John, unfit to be sheriff, yet given the position for their mutual benefit. With a corrupt sheriff collecting taxes, the Prince could squeeze more money out of the townspeople and more closely control them, while the Sheriff benefitted by lining his own pockets. When threatened, the Sheriff resorted immediately to violence, hanging those who stood up to him and launching a campaign against his nemesis, Robin Hood. In our class discussion,

  • The Villain Archetype In The Call Of The Wild

    269 Words  | 2 Pages

    With my research paper, I decided to focus on the villain archetype out of all of them. The villain archetype can be defined as the evil character who exists to cause disorder, confusion, and mayhem on society and to battle against the hero. The one character that I feel and demonstrates the villain archetype would be Spitz from, “The Call of The Wild”. Reasons as to why I believe this is that in the story, Buck and Curly finally arrive to the Klondike Region of Canada and quickly learn that they need to survive with primal instincts against Spitz and his pack. However, Spitz, with no ounce of mercy within him, causes trouble within the pack and lures Curly into a false sense of companionship, only to be killed moments later by him.
