Week 13 - Reading Notes Part B



(Image taken from Silver Petticoat Review)

The world of Robin Hood only gets more confusing for me as the passages go on. Although I understand the introductions of characters such as the bishop, king, and sheriff, I can not fully grasp the stories. I see the common frustration in the text though, the need for a man to support the lower class through any means, theft included. I think for my story this week I will do some extra reading and cover that topic instead because, once again, I did not get a full grasp on the Robin Hood story.
