====Conclusion====
The character of Zorro is a much-loved fictional figure. He His character has been very influential in popular culture. Undoubtedly many of the characteristics of the hero were created by the author. He was partly inspired by previous works and figures such as Robin Hood. However, there is a great deal of evidence that shows that Zorro was based on at least one historical figure. McCulley was familiar with the story of Joaquin Murrieta Carrillo and in many ways this character can be considered to be the chief source of the character of the original caped hero. Murrieta Carrillo was probably the main model for the character of Zorro. However, McCulley was almost certainly inspired by other bandits and rebels from a turbulent period in Californian history.
