Yesterday, I was really in the mood for some Disney, so I got out some old tapes and watched Robin Hood. There are several characters attermpting to overcome struggles. Many instantly think of Robin Hood, who is constantly trying to help the poor in their hard time, there is also the poor themselves, who are trying to survive with hardly any money at all. But, there is one character who works tirelessly to overcome his battle with guilt. Prince John. As revealed in the movie, he came up with the idea for his right-hand man, Sir Hiss, to hypnotize his brother, the king. PJ wanted King Richard to go away, leaving the throne all to himself. On top of PJ feeling slightly guilty about that, througout the movie, Sir Hiss makes PJ feel very guilty, because PJ destroys many of his mother's old things. I believe that, because of the guilt he feels, PJdevelops a bad habit of sucking on his thumb. The guilt doesn't only do that, but it forces him to become obsessed with becoming a great king. He puts all his energy towards catching Robin Hood. Prince John never overcame his guilt, but it wasn't for lack of trying.
