Morality Test Ahoy!
The Sheriff of Nottingham captured Little John and Robin Hood and imprisoned them in his maximum security dungeon.
Maid Marion begged the Sheriff for their release, pleading her love for Robin. The Sheriff agreed to release them only if Maid Marion spent the night with him. To this she agreed.
The next morning the Sheriff released his prisoners. Robin asked that Marion tell him how she persuaded the Sheriff to let them go free.
Marion told the truth, and was bewildered when Robin abused her, calling her a slut, and saying that he never wanted to see her again.
At this Little John defended her, inviting her to leave Sherwood with him and promising life-long devotion. She accepted and they rode away together.
Now:
Forget all your preconceived ideas about these characters; this is a different story altogether. In terms of realistic, everyday standards of behaviour, put Robin, Marion, LIttle John and the Sheriff in the order in which you consider they showed the most morality and honesty. List from most moral to least moral.
There is no right answer. But when I get home from work tonight, I'll give y'all the personality summary that matches your answer. We did this in class last week. It was kinda fun. I work with some real weirdos. :D
Happy Monday, you pack of faithless, morally bankrupt heathens.
ETA: My response, as requested: Marion, Sheriff, Little John, Robin.
Such an emphatic rejection of ready-made values is probably partly camouflage. You hate to be thought weak or insecure. You value honesty, and abhor hypocrisy.
Men: Women are very much part of your life, and you are -- or perhaps would like to be -- quite ruthless, both with women and life in general.
Women: You are tolerant about men and their failings -- but we mean men, for you have no time for boys on men's errands.
This combination represents 3% of total, 3% of men and 3% of women.
