Ned Kelly was a criminal who killed policement and who robbed banks. However, in Australia, most people see him as a hero.
Ned Kelly is considered by many Australians as a incredibly brave man and a national hero who stood up against unfair British rule. He was considered as the defender of the poor and the oppressed. Because of that, some people refer to him as "the Australian Robin Hood. "

Ned Kelly did commit some crimes and he admitted to some of them, but some people claim that he was in fact persecuted by the police because he was poor and of Irish origins. Some of his supporters go as far as saying that he was wrongly accused of some of the crimes he is said to have committed.

As a consequence, he is often described as a rebel with a cause, a figure of rebellion against injustice and oppression. Ned Kelly was so popular that after his arrest, more than 30,000 people signed a petition to spare his life. To this day, if an Australian tells you that you are « as game as Ned Kelly », it is probably one of the best compliment you can get !

A villain is the opposite of a hero. There are many villains,
but they are not all identical. Let’s have a look at three
different types: the Dark Lord, the Mastermind, and
the Bully.

First, the Dark Lord: The Dark Lord is a sinister, terrifying
character. He’s always the leader of a group. He is often
quite old and has a powerful position: he can be a king,
a general or a warlord.

Second, the Mastermind: Masterminds are extremely
clever. They prepare complicated plans and anticipate
everything. They are not very strong and they are often
solitary. They don’t like fighting, so they prefer tricking
their enemy. They are very secretive and can be very
cruel too.

Third, the Bully: The Bullies are often popular or
commanding characters. They love ruling and deciding.
They can be mean, jealous and sometimes cowards.
They want to humiliate the hero.

The following lectures were the most important piece of my literary work done with unabated power, best motive, and happiest concurrence of circumstance. They were written and delivered while my mother yet lived, and had vividest sympathy in all I was attempting; —while also my friends put unbroken trust in me, and the course of study I had followed seemed to fit me for the acceptance of noble tasks and graver responsibilities than those only of a curious traveler, or casual teacher.

49. The second question, namely, how far art, if not inspired, has yet been ennobled by religion, I shall not touch upon to-day; for it both requires technical criticism, and would divert you too long from the main question of all, —How far religion has been helped by art?

You will find that the operation of formative art—(I will not speak to-day of music)—the operation of formative art on religious creed is essentially twofold; the realisation, to the eyes, of imagined spiritual persons; and the limitation of their imagined presence to certain places. We will examine these two functions of it successively.

42. These are both vital conditions of your healthy progress. On the one hand, observe that you do not wilfully use the realistic power of art to convince yourselves of historical or theological statements which you cannot otherwise prove; and which you wish to prove: — on the other hand, that you do not check your imagination and conscience while seizing the truths of which they alone are cognizant, because you value too highly the scientific interest which attaches to the investigation of second causes.
