The author of a picaresque novel concentrates on presenting a hero who is likeable and clever, while posessing qualities not usually considered admirable.
The character of Robin Hood is an example of picaresque characterization: a hero who continually breaks the law and causes loss and damage to the wealthy and those in authority by outwitting them in ingenious and amusing ways, while at the same time showing charm, courtesy and chivalry, as well as helping the poor people of the region.
