You clearly do not scare easily. You want a man
who is sharp, intellectual, cultured, and not
too mushy. Get underneath his cool, sarcastic
exterior and who knows what treasures you might
find.
Who is your Harry Potter love match? (for girls)

Okay, I admit it - I have a Snape/Mary Sue fic. No one will ever, ever see it.
| How You Are In Love |
 You fall in love quickly and easily. And very often. You give and take equally in relationships. You need your space and privacy. You don't like to be smothered. You love your partner unconditionally and don't try to make them change. You stay in love for a long time, even if you aren't loved back. When you fall, you fall hard. |
*shrug*
| Your World View |
You believe that morality is another word for common sense and suitability For you, morality is not something which is universally valid or a religious truth. You would rate reliability as one of your virtues. On the other hand, you are conventional and unimaginative. You are also something of a prude. You are likely to have problems with your love life. |
I'm not sure I agree with the "prude" part . . .
| Androgynous You scored 60 masculinity and 63 femininity! |
| You scored high on both masculinity and femininity. You have a strong personality exhibiting characteristics of both traditional sex roles. |

Date: 2005-12-10 11:30 pm (UTC)The Sheriff, on the other hand, has no beloved to betray by sleeping with Marion, and what arrangements exist or don't between her and Robin are no business of his. He is doing what his oaths of fealty to the king and the law of the land require him to do by capturing and imprisoning Robin and John; that the laws are bad and he follows them anyway is a point against him, to be sure. However, he made Marion a promise that it may well cost him his position, if not his neck, to keep, and he keeps it anyway by freeing Robin and John after she sleeps with him. So I think his being true to his word outweighs his misplaced loyalty to bad law, within the confines of the story as told.
I admit it was a close call, though.

Date: 2005-12-11 12:13 am (UTC)Little John has to choose between two friends, and he chooses the one who's not a jerk. Moral, but nothing above and beyond the call of duty. Besides, he's the audience identification character, so he's gotta make the list. :-p
The Sheriff coerces Marion into cheating on Robin solely for his own personal gain, and in the process violates his duty to uphold the law. That he keeps his word to Marion is a redeeming factor, but it doesn't change the fact that he's a corrupt bureaucrat at heart.
Robin, on the other hand, is a scumbag. Stabbing your girlfriend in the back after she's made that kind of sacrifice for you is one of the worst thing you can do, and Marion and John's immediate abandonment of him suggests that this is not an isolated incident. She got him out of *maximum security prison* for crying out loud!

We roam around the forest looking for fights!
We're men!
We're men in tights!
We rob from the rich, and give to the poor, that's right!
We may look like sissies, but watch what you say
Or else we'll put out your lights!
That was a great movie.

Date: 2005-12-11 07:18 am (UTC)I have trouble selecting between Marian and Little John for most moral. She makes a brave choice, to go against a HUGE societal shibboleth for the sake of the man she loves -- and then he throws the gift back in her face! Little John, OTOH, recognizes her sacrifice for what it is... and waitaminnit, there's my contamination -- Robin and Marian, where John has a line to the effect of, "If you'd loved me, I'd never have left." I think I've also seen other (written) versions in which it's either stated or implied that John has a deep and unrequited love for Marian. So realistically, that probably puts her ahead on the morality scale -- his offer is genuine, but it's also self-serving, since he now has a chance to gain what he's wanted for a long time.
As to Robin vs. the Sheriff... the latter betrays his office for personal, venal reasons, and that's bad enough; he becomes, in this story, the archetype for every corrupt cop, groping boss, and casting-couch director. But, as noted, Robin's betrayal is deeper and more personal -- he betrays the trust she placed in him, that he would understand why she did what she did. Robin therefore becomes the archetype for the kind of people who we currently see committing "honor killings" in the Middle East. And that makes the "who's worse" decision an easy call for me.
