‘He was not a hero’: How the dark, violent medieval origins of Robin Hood were erased

Robin Hood began as an oral tradition in the 12th Century before morphing into a heroic, family-friendly stereotype – here’s how new takes are restoring his dark side.  

When writer and director Michael Sarnoski began shooting his new film, he showed the cast and crew one he has always loved. It was Disney’s 1973 animated Robin Hood, its hero a fox with a feather in his green cap, robbing the rich to give to the poor. 

That beloved version could not be further from The Death of Robin Hood, Sarnoski’s dark, thoughtful drama. Hugh Jackman stars as a grey-haired, battle-weary Robin, reflective at the end of his life and acutely aware of his own legend.  

When he encounters a woman who talks about the virtuous, justice-seeking Robin Hood, he denies who he is and speaks of himself in the third person. “He was not a hero. He robbed and killed for the joy of it, nothing more.”

The following text is reference to question.

Why strength training advice for women is mostly wrong

        For years, women were told to train differently because of their hormones. New research suggests the fundamentals of building strength and muscle look remarkably similar across sexes.  


        For decades, women have been told they need special workout rules. Don’t lift too heavy. Train around your hormones. Change  your workouts throughout the month. 


        The advice seemed logical. Men have substantially higher testosterone levels, a hormone that plays a major role in muscle growth. “Testosterone increases muscle mass in boys, and so you get an adult 20-year-old man and an adult 20-year-old woman, and there’s going to be differences in baseline muscle size and strength,” says Lauren Colenso-Semple, a researcher and science communicator specializing in female physiology and exercise. 


        ___(1)___ a growing body of research suggests those differences may matter less than many people assume once training begins. A 2025 meta-analysis published in PeerJ found that women have a similar capacity for muscle growth, known as hypertrophy, as men. While men typically start with more muscle mass, women make comparable relative gains in muscle mass through resistance training. 


        Once people start exercising, the sex differences disappear quite quickly: “When you think about lifting weights and the magnitude of muscle size and strength that you can gain in response to training, the trajectory is very, very similar in men and women,” says Semple, a researcher and science specializing in female physiology and exercise.  


        ___(2)___ hormones can influence how exercise feels from day to day, there is little evidence that most women need entirely different training programs to build muscle, strength, or fitness. That matters because resistance training remains one of the most powerful tools for improving cardiovascular health, preserving bone density, and supporting healthy aging. 


Available in: https://www.nationalgeographic.com. 

Consider the following sentences:
1. When a man begins training, he usually starts with more muscle mass.
2. When the process of working out begins, differences between men and women become insignificant.
3. Regular exercise maintains the body’s strength and it is the basis of aging well.
4. In the past, women were told to focus less on optimizing around their hormones and more on the fundamentals of getting stronger.

    The Brazilian National Common Curricular Base (BNCC) introduced a significant paradigm shift by framing the English language as a mandatory curriculum component within an English as a Lingua Franca (ELF) perspective. This framework recognizes English as a global language used dynamically in multilingual settings, meaning that its instruction does not need to adhere strictly to the linguistic or cultural norms of native speakers from hegemonic countries. Consequently, English is no longer categorized merely as a traditional "foreign language" in Brazil, but rather as a widespread instrument of international communication.
     Furthermore, the BNCC justifies the inclusion of English within the curriculum as an essential element of a critical education agenda. Instead of focusing on a purely instrumental or mechanical view of grammar, the official guidelines underscore the formative function of the language, linking it to the social and political dimensions of communication. Learning English under this light is equated with equipping students with the necessary knowledge to enable wider global interaction, social mobility, and active citizenship.
