Our adventure with Zorro dates back to deep childhood and Walt Disney series. Then came the next series and movies with a masked bandit. Finally, there was time for fanfiction and exploration of Spanish California from the early nineteenth century. After all, it was a time when promises made were holiness, person’s value had to be proved by hard work and loyalty, and chivalrousness towards the females was everyday life.
Therefore, we decided to organize the collected materials.
Who is Zorro?
Zorro is a fictional character first appearing in Johnston McCulley’s series of stories The Curse of Capistrano. It appeared in 1919 in five parts in the pulp magazine All-Story Weekly, which later were published under the collective title The Mark of Zorro as a book. The creation of this hero was inspired by the stories of the Californian outlaw Joaquín Murrieta. Zorro puts himself in the role of defender of the people of California, especially around Los Angeles. This is happening at a time when this region was a Spanish colony. The population needs a protector because it is oppressed by local authorities – governors and military commanders. Thanks to his fox cunning, he outsmarts his enemies.
It is from this intelligent animal that the hero takes his nickname – in Spanish, Zorro means fox. In addition, he is a sword master, an excellent shooter, and a great rider. Its hallmark is the letter “z” – the sign of Zorro made with three quick strokes of the sword. He leaves it on the clothes of opponents or in the place where justice is brought. Despite the high reward for his capture, he remains elusive and often mocks the soldiers. Zorro is a masked hero and no one knows his identity except a trusted helper. He works often at night, which is why his suit is all black. It consists of a cape, a sombrero hat, and a mask that covers the whole face or part of it.
