Best Answer

Robin Hood was a BAD man. He stole money from those who had it and gave it to those who had yet to understand how to acquire it.

But even worse: Robin Hood was STUPID. You don't give money to those who have no idea how to manage money.

Poor people are poor for a reason. But even worse still: Robin Hood was MALICIOUS.

Robin Hood didn't care about the poor. He didn't know them. He was once a rich noble himself but had been stripped of his title and lands by other nobles.

So his motives weren't out of love for the poor. They were out of hatred for those who had taken so much from him.

His robbing the rich and giving to the poor was an act of REVENGE. The only reason he was been given hero status is that the villains in the story were even worse that he was.

Robin Hood was just less bad (albeit no less stupid or malicious) than the very bad. To give approval to the idea that Robin Hood was good is to agree with the principal that two wrongs make a right. The best we could say

in this case, is that in the eyes of the world, two wrongs seem to have made something less wrong.
