I reckon if a bloke ***Update SOME blokes***was in the same position as Marion (obviously the Sheriff would be a gal) He would do what Marion did - but not be honest about it!! ;o)) KK X

That's just sexist!!! But don't you worry your pretty little head about it.

What a load of absolute RUBBISH!!! I chose Robin Hood because the poor guy got banged up and two-timed by the girl, Maid Marion second because she was doing what she thought was best but then left with the opportunist and deserted the guy she'd tried to save to get the best deal going, Little John third because he double-crossed his best mate and was probably telling Marion porkies anyway so she'd run off with him, and The Sheriff last because he was an out-and-out villain. For that my 'analysis' came out as - 'Your philosophy of life is a sad hotchpotch of the conventions of society, your own convictions and romanticism. You are not unkind, only staid and unimaginative. You resent the arrogance of men. This combination represents 4% of total, 4% of men and 3% of women' I'm not unkind (usually) and I certainly don't care for arrogant men, or arrogant women for that matter, but 'Staid'? 'Unimaginative'? ME??? Come on, pull the other one! LMHO Another example of loony boffins talking nonsense. Festive Flutterby >*|*<

CB. Calm down dear. Be happy you almost agree with me :-)

Why is everyone so anti the Sheriff? I thought we were supposed to ditch our previous notions, lol! He was locking up 2 people who were rampaging all over his county, stealing things for goodness sake! I've seen plenty of comments on this board recently regarding the perceived failings of our criminal justice system.....he only held them for 1 night, not 90, and he let them go as promised! :-)))

The locking up wasn't the issue. It was the physical bribary that makes him so low.

Dan, Agreed. The Sheriff was doing his duty by locking up the 'criminals', but resorting to such nefarious tactics before he'd agree to release them was totally unacceptable in an age of supposed chivalry. BTW - 'Calm down, dear' ? You sound like Michael Winner on those awful E-sure ads! ;>))) Sheila, As to 'he only locked them up for one night', if Marion hadn't agreed to his request, they might never have been released. Did you never see 'Robin Hood, Prince of Thieves', girl? I might have a soft spot for Alan Rickman, but I prefer Kevin Costner any day. LOL Festive Flutterby >*|*<

Maid Marion, Little John, Robin Hood, The Sheriff I'm not sure that I agree with the assessment but it was interesting to think about. I did think hard about switching Robin and the Sheriff, though. Gwynne

A question was asked of me.............. I wish we could changeth the story............ I would layeth down my life for my liege lord, do anything to save his life...... but another could never captureth my heart. If I be spurned by my liege lord, so be it...... but I would not transfereth my affections to another.... :-)

Scuse me Marion honey but if Robin has dumped you, after all you went through for him.....then me thinketh you need to take solace where you can honey X

............ but the course of true love, Lady Lemon?............ :-)

She had true love as she gave her all....Robin was a fair weather man....he only wanted her if she was pure.....even if she saved him....so her other choice was to let him rot in prison...me thinks she should of kept her chastity belt on and left him in clink X

Dost thou still have that key, Lady Lemon? :-)

Forsooth my lord Robin of Loxley may wish to speak soon........... :-)

Er probably got it tucked in somewhere

thou hath not lost it, Lady Lemon?!! :-)

Hi Bendy I think Robin is a heel.....er not sure if I still have it, can be very careless with keys

Bendy he needs kicking in to touch...poor Marion xxx

Bendy my thoughts exactly......that Robin should of been thanking her, not dumping her....see men!!!

Little John, Maid Marion, The Sheriff, Robin Hood You are the slightly romantic realist. You respect truth, and are broadminded and flexible. Whether you are a man or a woman you are probably a happy person. You like people and they can readily make friends with you. You are not very adventurous, but this does not bother you. This combination represents 10% of total, 9% of men and 10% of women EXPINATION Little John appears to have reconised that although Marion had done something she shouldn't have done, she did what she had to for the person she loved and he gave her a way out of the situation. Marion gave away a part of herself to release the person she loved because she loved Robin. Sheriff because he used Marion and abused his position. Robin, ungrateful, spitful, degrading. He could have told Marion that she should not have spent the night with the sheriff and left him in the prison, but at the same time he loved her and respected her for putting his wealthfare before her own.
