I think ned kelly is a hero because he was treated injustly by the police and also in 1865 he saved a chilf from drowning. So in my oponion he is a hero which knew what freedon meant> ceya :)

Ned Kelly was a vitim because, though he was a murderer and though he saved a boys life, the Kelly family had specific orders made for them. Police officers had to arrest them for even the smallest crime and policeman Fitzpatrick tried to rape Ned's sister.

I don't think he was a hero but a creature of his circumstances.I be believe he was moulded by his surroundings. He was a criminal there is no doubt about that. But he did what he needed to do to survive and to look after and protect his family.

hey I don't know if he is a hero but he is definitely an Icon... I think he stood up for what he believed in and, may have been a hero; depending on what you define as one. Heappealed to the "anti-authority" aspect of Australian culture that many australian's admire/d and I believe that that is one of the reasons he is considered a "hero"... (once again people, it depends on what you classify as a hero) :)

victim + hero = villianNed Kelly - Hero, Victim Or Villian

Ned Kelly was all three of those titles, he was a victim because the cops abused thier power and arrested him and eventually arrested his mother. Even the best of men have limits."do you know what happens when you kick a dog one too may times?... They bite" (quote from 'home room').  Ned was obviously tired of the police thinking they are above the law but taking advantage of it when they needed to. Kelly stood up for his family, his friends and everybody else that needed someone to stand up for them. Ned Kelly stole from the banks not for his own selfish greed but to help his friends and family, he gave the money to them. He killed so he could keep his own life, basically self-defense. But everyone would have a different opinion on Ned Kelly.

I don't think that Ned Kelly is any of those catergories. I think he could be in the same class as, oh I don't know, ummm batman. He was an outlaw vigilante.
