Introduction The aim of my report is: To find a connection between the original myth and the Robin Hood ‘reincarnations’ of today. The objectives of my report are: To give three examples of people who all somehow can relate to the Robin Hood myth and to examine them; To explore how the legend of Robin Hood changed; To learn Robin Hood’s main features.

“Robin Hood robbed from the rich to give to the poor”. He is mythical because everybody thought he was real whereas he was not.

Pablo Escobar - Colombian Robin Hood. «The King of Cocaine» A very contradictory figure

Pablo has a reputation as a dedicated family man Pablo has a reputation as a dedicated family man. Pablo never failed to provide for his family and friends and he was also remembered as a caring father. Pablo handed out cash to the residents. He also donated huge sums of money on public services. Pablo’s strong ties with the Church and his image of a ‘good Christian man’ also played an important role in creating of his Robin Hood perception.

Navalny is fighting against the Russian corrupted elite. Today, Alexei Navalny is probably the most prominent face of Russian opposition to president Vladimir Putin. Navalny is fighting against the Russian corrupted elite.

Navalny was arrested and imprisoned many times, so he can definitely be defined as a criminal and compared with Robin Hood in this regard. With the work Navalny is doing, he is risking not only his carrer but even his life. Navalny managed to gain a huge support of the population, especially among the younger people.

Kendrick is one of the most successful hip-hop artists in the world. His acts of charity, his concern about the middle-class make Kendrick comparable to Robin Hood.

The rapper has donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to the Compton Unified School District’s music, sports, and after-school programs. Kendrick is one of the most outspoken artists about violence affecting African American communities.

Conclusion This research leads us to my two final thoughts: Robin Hood is a myth that has evolved and expanded with the times, adapting to the changes in society and reflecting the cultures who tell the story as much as the one from which it originated. The myth of Robin Hood can be easily adapted to almost any culture and society. In this regard, I would like to note that the memory of the legend has played a major role in establishing the functionality and perception of the legend nowadays.
