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
himself as a great archer who unfortunately goes through some tough situations that lead him into a dangerous game of cat and mouse between the sheriff of the Notinghamshire and the legendary Robin Hood. “When Robin was just eighteen, the Sheriff of Nottingham offered a prize for the best archer in the land. Robin felt sure he could win!” (Pyle, page 2) By winning the competition he would send a message that he is a great archer and show other archers in the land there is a force to be reckoned with

The church was selling indulgences

In Vladmir Nabokov’s, Lolita, the role of naming takes various forms as a motif and both a characterization and stylistic device. In order to understand Nabokov’s use of names, one must understand first that the novel is written by protagonist, Humbert Humber, as confessional for a murder he has committed. Therefore, false names are used to protect the identity
"Cecilia, I would appreciate it if you could let me concentrate on my work," Bee scolds the demon perched at the end of her bed. In retaliation to their request, the pesky spirit chucks a crumpled up piece of paper at the scowling teen. The paper hits them between their eyes and Bee shoots a look of vexation at Cecilia. "You act as though I'll stop just because you command me to," the demon laughs in a mocking tone. She continues to rip sheets of paper out of the notebook for the sake of throwing
