AI GeneratedThe speaker draws a parallel between the social divide of 14th-century medieval England and contemporary society. By examining the tension between wealthy oligarchs and a frustrated populace, the speaker identifies the systemic injustice that served as the catalyst for the origin of the Robin Hood legend.
Well, I think what was really interesting to me was that you had
this world in medieval England in the 14th century
that was sort of starkly divided between the sort of wealthy oligarchs
who protected their wealth and privileges
and the mass of people who were ragingly angry outside,
felt the system was rigged against them.
And that was...
That felt very contemporary that felt like today and tomorrow.
What was unexpected to me was to
realize that that was where the sort of legend
of Robin Hood really began and it began because
the legend spoke to that same world,
a world of injustice you know where the rich were rich
and the poor were poor
and that felt like getting close to where the legend really began.
