Scarlet is told in first person, and it is narrated by Scarlet.

"She rubbed my leg with her foot and I winked at her."

Scarlet has long brown hair that she keeps tied up and tucked under a hat all day. She's short and lean, and has small hands compared to her band mates. She wears man-like clothes Monday through Saturday- only wearing a dress on Sundays for church. She keeps her upper half wrapped in muslin to keep the secret that she's a girl.

Scarlet doesn't show her emotions much, and doesn't like taking about her past. She stays hidden atop the tree branches rather than walking on the ground with everyone else. She has a good eye for spotting things to sell and/or steal.

People around Scarlet feel safe and some even feel love when around her. "He tugged again. 'Stay here.' He said, and kept tugging 'till I were against him. He pulled my hips against his, my back to his front, and held on tight to me. His breath huffed into my hair and shivers broke like sparks." (page 286)

People tend to pair with Scarlet because of her fighting skills. John has told her on countless occasions that he loved her. And even towards the end of the book Rob started showing signs o love towards Scarlet.

Scarlet is always thinking about the good of others rather than her own good. She would literally risk her own life for the people she cares for.

We learn that she would rather put herself in danger than let those she loves get in danger. We can also learn that she suppresses her past and her emotions very well.

"I'm fine! I eat. But these damn bruises make my face hurt so much my stomach twists up. And sometimes just thinking about all the people that can't even scrape up  a crumb makes my belly twist up too."

This quote shows that Scarlet doesn't like people being concerned for her and would rather ignore the fact that she's hurting, on either the outside or inside. She would rather give up what she has so people who are suffering can have it and be better off.

The character tat acted as a leader in my book was Scarlet. While she did come up with multiple plans such as how to get people out of the jail, she was not a very good leader. Everytime a minor issue arose in the plot, Scarlet would create a plan. But if anyone even questioned her she would run away and hide at least for over night. She would worry everyone, and just generally over react to everything.

Overall, I was not a huge fan of the book Scarlet. Some people think the writing style of the book is charming, but I just think it is annoying and confusing. The narration switches between past and present tense very often, and doesn't transition between places or flashback and present clearly.  The character development felt very rushed, and about midway through the book, the author just dumped a bunch of backstory on the reader. It felt like the author assumed that the reader already knew a lot about the characters since it is based on the legend of Robin Hood. Some of the actions that the characters did, both physical and mental, were unrealistic. The ending left me feeling unsatisfied even though Scarlet ended up with who I wanted her with. I think the worst part of the book is the love triangle. It felt forced and sudden. If I'm being honest it felt like some of the time John Little was trying to force himself upon Scarlet.

I think a theme that can be found in the book is to not run away from your problems, as it only makes them worse. I think this because Scarlet's conflicts started when she ran away from her home in London when things got slightly harder. The more she ran, the more problems piled up in her life- then all came crashing down on her at once.

Person vs. Self

One of the main conflicts in the book Scarlet is that throughout the book Scarlet is battling her mind and her values. Her head and her heart differ in what they desire.

The other main conflict is that Lorde Gisborne is after Robin Hood's band, specifically Scarlet. When she was about thirteen in London, she was engaged to him. She ran away from London when her sister died, thus meaning she also ran away from her fiance.

The main antagonist of the story is thought to be Lord Gisborne: a ruthless thief catcher who is out to get Scarlet. But I believe the antagonist is actually Scarlet's past. Scarlet ran away from her problems when she was in London, and whenever she did something wrong or someone said something that upset her. She needed to learn to not necessarily listen to what people said.

The protagonist is Scarlet. She's a strong, independent fighter who knows how to get what she wants- and she's hardly afraid of anything. She's a part of Robin Hood's band, along with John Little and Much.

Scarlet takes places in early England. Specifically, the towns of Edwinstowe, Nottingham, Sherwood, and Worksop. They mention the cities several times throughout the story: "Well, we'll take Edwinstowe, and much can go with Lena in Worksop, then Rob and Scar in Nottingham." The setting is semi-important to the plot. They go back and forth between towns, giving out food and money for so the townspeople can pay their taxes.
