Robinhood - the vigilante

                                                             ROBIN HOOD

I chose to talk about the vigilante -  Robin Hood , because i think  he is '' real'' . He existed and he actually influenced his surroundings , history and many urban legends. till date  the majority knows about Robin Hood and his doings.  

In brief, Robin Hood was a vigilante in his time . Around the 19th century , there were classes between the rich and poor , the poor were forced to pay taxes to the sheriff  in order to live there . and Robin hood was known for '' robbing the rich and giving the money to the poor'' . Robin Hood worked with his fellow men.   

He had outstanding archery skills.  so we can say his powers were his arhcery skills which is realistic. he brought lots of change to the society , finally the poor were not over ruled .

however we need to have vigilante  like him , in order to maintain equality in our community, which may not be done by the government or any other official or legal body .

Why do we need VIGILANTES ?

VIGILANTES

Vigilante is an individual or group who undertakes law enforcement without any legal authority .
examples such as superheroes .

These vigilantes typically see government as ineffective in enforcing the law, and such individuals often presume to justify their actions as fulfillment of the wishes of '' the community''


we can say there are two types of vigilantes, some are ''good'' and some are ''bad''

 when i say good, they are helpful and they do everything to protect the society without any expectations , however when we talk about the '' bad '' here i dont mean they are villains ,  they protect and do the same thing , but they want something else in return , maybe publicity , want to make money where rich investors invest money for them . and their ways of serving the public are various , such as physically , verbally or sometimes to an extent of killing.
however , no one is monitoring them . so we dont really know what they are doing is right or not .


but why do we need them ?

there are various reasons ,

we need them because they connect the society to the government , there are times when the government dont see what are the society's '' needs ''  , here comes the role of a vigilante who puts everything on the table.

we also need them , because they enforce law , when the government is ineffective .  they play the role of cops and government in general. when the police is late respond to attacks or assaults on people  the vigilante who are closer to the crime scene at that time might prevent the crime to take place and save the person's life.  and in that situation a quick response is the key to save the person's life.


peace ,  sometimes they help in maintaining peace in the streets at night  when the crime rate is generally higher .


so to conclude,  we do need vigilantes because they are helpful and they maintain the safety and people somehow feel secure when they are around .

movie analysis - Hotel Transylvania

                               METAPHOR ------>   MONSTERDOM VS HUMANDOM

Hotel transylvania is full of lines with the double meaning elasticity to serve the film's flexible metaphor , equating monsterdom with "'US' .  There are several metaphors used in this movie , however looking into a few , for instance we see ''  are these monsters going to kill me ?'' a quivering jonathan asks the Count . '' Not as long as they think you are a monster '' thats kind of racist .''

or if  we look at this , ''  Mavis ( the dracula's daughter )  could never be with someone of his kind .''  the dracula says that while his in a hot jaccuzzi with his fellows.

 Also if we look at when the dracula  fights for his daughter's happiness , where he gets a glimpse of   twilight '' This is how they represent us ?''   

In brief ,  Segregation is seen in this movie, xenophobia . there is this strong hatred for a certain community because of one reason . shows how one community is going against the other. how they isolate themselves and also do not wish any outsiders to come near to where they live.  but when an outsider ( the human as shown in the movie) walks in their neighbourhood the dracula gets panicked and wants him to leave straight away. 

However the drac figures out that the human isnt harmful as he thought , and he lets him stay for his daughter's birthday party , where he gets close to his daughter and also  the other monsters that are there. eventually , things take a turn , truth is spilled out. 

This is another century , different people, new thinking , new beliefs . but the drac doesnt know that , and thats why he says '' its taking my soul away'' when the young guy plugs earphones on him and plays a song.

To put it in short,  one experience doesnt mean everything will be the same all the time. things change  , people change accordingly .
