The lecture on bandits proved to be very interesting. No wonder we still enjoy films, poems and stories about some of these exciting outlaws, such as our very own Robin Hood of Sherwood Forest with his band of merry men and the fascinating highwayman, Dick Turpin. Then there is Ned Kelly and Jesse James and many more. Even though their profiles may change with each new version created, these dashing heroes still retain the charisma that we find endearing. Furthermore, they inspire us with their outrageous acts of bravery in their fight for justice.
We appear to welcome these outlaws and bandits, with all their flaws, because they are from an ordinary and quite often poor society, displaying the courage that many of us do not have. Let’s face it, we all enjoy a bit of fantasy to lift our spirits, especially if the heroes who provide it are film stars we admire.
