Chapter VI :

Orientation :
In chapter VI, the character Robin was introduced. Long before he lived in Sherwood Forest,
Robin often went there to hunt wild animals, and then Robin witnessed a beautiful woman
shooting named Marian. Soon, he found out that she was the daughter of the noble Earl of
Fitzwalter.

After this, Marian and Robin met each other very often and began to love each other so
much. Then Robin asked Marian to marry him.

Complication :
Marian, on the other hand, agreed to marry Robin and that decision made him the happiest
person in the world. However, just before their wedding ceremony, all of Robin's land and
money was robbed. He decided that Marian shouldn't have to live such a rough life with him,
and he wrote her a sorrowful letter, saying his goodbye. Marian cried all day in the misery of
losing who would be her life-partner. Being unable to ignore it, she disguised herself as a
knight and went to look for Robin in Sherwood Forest.

Climax :
One day, Robin disguised himself as a Norman knight, he ventured into the forest for an
adventure. Then he came across Marian which he misinterpreted as an evil knight. They drew
swords and fought for an hour, which resulted in both of them both wounded. Eventually,
Robin accidentally spoke in his own voice, causing Marian to drop her sword. “Robin,
Robin,” she cried.

Resolution :
They were so happy to be together again after spending so much time apart that they laughed,
cried, and kissed each other. They went to a nearby brook where they both found joy and
happiness in each other’s presence. Robin and Marian encountered Little John on their way to
the Trysting-Tree. When Robin revealed that Marian was the knight, Little John bent down to
kiss Marian's hand and promised to be their obedient queen. After that, they had a feast where
everyone was celebrating together. Then Robin and Marian lived together for a long time,
and were very happy together.

Coda :
From this story, we learn about the power of love and how we should sacrifice anything for
our loved ones. Robin showed selflessness and chose to let go of Marian so she wouldn't live
a miserable life with him. Marian's will to find Robin, despite the danger and consequences
that she could face, really showed us what the power of true love is.

a good person like Robin who always helps people and not be a bad person like the sheriff,
we should spend our money for the benefit of the people, not to kill good people
