It is exceptionally hard when it is supposed to express one’s thankfulness in words, which cannot always adequately convey one’s feelings. This is especially true when the addressee is my advisor Assist. Prof. Dr. Sinan Akıllı to whom I cannot express my gratitude and indebtedness enough even if I write ‘Thank you’ in all languages in the universe.

After all the discouraging obstacles that I have managed to overcome with the help of his support, I can tell with all my sincerity that every single day I feel more privileged to have had a chance to be his student. I would like to thank him for his illuminating academic guidance and, most importantly, his precious belief in me.

We know him as the iconic archer clad in green from head to toe and, in medieval ballads and legends from as early as the 13th century to as recently as the past few years, the Robin Hood figure has been a prominent persona in literature. Even in medieval texts, Robin Hood morphed from a “highwayman”-like figure whose sole motivation was selfishness to a lovable outcast who steals from the wealthy and, in an act of self-sacrifice, gives the plunder to the poor. In more modern texts, most specifically Children’s Literature (i.e., Howard Pyle’s The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood), Robin Hood is a romanticized figure, a bold archer whose tale delights both young and old alike.

  • The Robin Hood Legend and Its Cultural Adaptation for the Film Industry: Comparing Literary Sources with Filmic Representations
    JOURNAL OF ENGLISH STUDIES - VOLUME 3, (2001-2), 37-46 THE ROBIN HOOD LEGEND AND ITS CULTURAL ADAPTATION FOR THE FILM INDUSTRY: COMPARING LITERARY SOURCES WITH FILMIC REPRESENTATIONS RICHARD CLOUET Universidad de Las Palmas de Gran Canaria ABSTRACT. The legend of Robin Hood has been going strong for over 600 years. In that time, the English hero has been a medieval revolutionary, an earl in Renaissance drama, a Saxon freedom fighter in the XVIIIth and XIXth centuries or a courteous robber. Nowadays the hero is especially known as a famous romantic film star. This paper is about the way the legendary hero has been interpreted over the centuries and the medieval texts translated and adapted to suit the taste of the new audience. This capacity of adaptation in the Robin Hood legend has been demonstrated in the twentieth century through the various film adapatations of the now legitimate bandit, rightfully fighting against coercive and unjust authorities. “In the early 1990s the Hollywood movie, Robin Hood – Prince of Thieves, captured the hearts and minds of millions, its phenomenal success reflecting a timeless fascination with the world’s most famous outlaw”(Phillips and Keatman 1995: 1). With such words, G. Phillips and M. Keatman started their bestselling Robin Hood – The Man Behind the Myth, an amazing thesis on the popular myth written in the way detective stories are. Robin Hood is certainly the most famous outlaw of them all, as popular today as when the stories first appeared over six hundred years ago. But let us make clear, right from the beginning of this paper, that Robin Hood never existed (Clouet 1998: 51).

  • AN ABSTRACT of the THESIS of Olga B. Rodriguez-Walmisley For
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Olga B. Rodriguez-Walmisley for the degree of Honors Baccalaureate of Arts in English and Spanish presented on May 25, 2011. Title: How the Portrayal of Women Characters in the Zorro and Robin Hood Stories Has Changed Over Time. Abstract approved: _______________________________________________________ Kayla García This thesis explores how female characters in the Zorro and Robin Hood stories have changed throughout time, from beginnings until present day. I began my analysis by first researching whether Zorro and Robin Hood existed, and found that Robin Hood was most likely a real man who lived during the 1300s, while Zorro was created by the author Johnston McCulley in 1919. Then I investigated five sources from the Robin Hood canon and five from the Zorro canon, looking for patterns and differences in the female characters. I found that both stories started out with a strong female character, both fluctuated between a strong a weak female character, and both, at some point, split the main female character into two characters, one strong and one weak. In the latest versions of the Robin Hood and Zorro stories, the female characters are blended together again to form a character stronger than ever before. I conclude that the characters were split because it was unacceptable at the time each story was set for women to display both strength and weakness. The blending of different aspects of personality, such as masculinity and femininity, beauty and strength, allow for the development of a multi-faceted person. ©Copyright by Olga B.
