The Importance of Little Red Riding Hood
Ever heard of the saying "stranger danger" Little Red Riding Hood hasn't. The fairy tales that are taught and shared today teach life lessons. Little
Red Riding Hood is a fairy tale recorder by The Brothers Grimm that is about a young naГЇve girl who is deceived by the Wolf and is taught a life
lesson. Little Red Riding Hood is a fairy tale that originates from Germany and much of Europe and is about a girl who was hoodwinked by the Wolf
and teaches a theme or moral about growing up, and being safe. The tale Little Red Riding Hood is said to originate from the eighteenth to the
nineteenth century in Europe. Originally this tale was told orally thus the many different versions of this story. The first written versions are said to be
published by Charles Perrault and The Brothers Grimm. Though the versions are very similar there are small differences. In Perrault's version Little
Red Riding Hood is told to bring her grandmother a cake and a little pot of butter, though in Grimm's version it is written "One day her mother said
to her: 'Come, Little Red Riding Hood, here is a piece of cake and a bottle of wine; take them to your grandmother,..." The differences in these
versions are of the smaller differences. The versions I am going to be studying the differences and similarities are between Perrault and The Brothers
Grimm's versions. The key importance to remember is that they may be different versions they are still the same story and share the same lessons,

Stereotypes In Red Riding Hood
Reading fairy tales or seeing them represented has become part of an everyday routine for children. As Baker–Sperry states, "Through interaction that
occurs within everyday routines (Corsaro 1997), children are able to learn the rules of the social group in which they are a part" (Baker–Sperry
717–718). For example, through Red Riding Hood, children learn to listen to their parents and to be wary of strangers. Some of these messages are
harmful though; not all girls have to be naive and weak while boys are predacious wolves. Not everyone has to play the role that society assigns them.
A good example of this is Cory Edwards' 2005 retelling of Red Riding Hood, Hoodwinked. In this movie, Red (Anne Hathaway), the Big Bad Wolf
(Patrick Warburton), and Granny (Glenn Close) all get into a misunderstanding based on stereotypes of their roles. After it is resolved, they team up to
stop a criminal enterprise. Each character defies society's expectations in someway.
In the Grimm story, Little Red–Cap is naive and easily fooled. Red–Cap meets a wolf in the woods, "Red–Cap did not know what a wicked creature he
was, and was not at all afraid of him" (Grimm). She is then tricked into believing that he is her grandmother and he devours her. She later has to be
saved from death by the huntsman that happens to walk by (Grimm). She shows little agency and does not know enough to protect herself. This varies
greatly from Red in Hoodwinked. Towards the beginning of the movie, there is a scene

Little Red Riding Hood Monologue
We all know the story about Little Red Riding Hood. She went to her grandma's house and got attacked by the big bad wolf. Now I will tell you what
really happened.
It was a nice sunny day in the middle of summer. There was a girl who everyone called Little Red Riding Hood (because she always wore a red jacket
with a red hood and she was small), but her real name was Elizabeth. Elizabeth the cruel.
She was just getting out of church and walking home, but on her way, a bluebird approached her and said that her grandma was very ill. The bird
told Red that her grandma might die if she did not have any medicine soon. Little Red immediately sprinted home, grabbed some medicine and a
picnic basket. She tossed in a knife for protection because she ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
She said, "My, what big feet you have." I tried to talk like grandma, but my gruff voice gave me away.
Little Red Riding Hood knew that it was me. She yelled, "Did you eat her?" "No, no!" I cried. "She went to the hospital!"
"I don't believe you," Little Red screamed as she pulled out her gun.
Just then, fox leaped out of his hiding spot and attacked Red from behind. Fox and I fled the house.
Later that night when grandma got home, she saw that Little Red Riding Hood was hurt. Grandma took her to the hospital. When Red told them about
what had happened, the cops thought the hair that she had on her jacket was mine. But I was innocent and this story proves it!
Red got grounded for a week. That was her only punishment. As for fox, he lied to the cops and said it was me who attacked her. A few days later,
he got trapped in one of those traps set up by Red's parents. He's going to be their meal for supper. Serves him right. I never liked that cheating
scumbag in the first place.

Wolves In Little Red Riding Hood
In both stories wolves are portrayed as dangerous creatures. Throughout the story of On the Mountain Trail the wolves are chasing after what they
think is prey. Then in Law of Life at the end of the story (paragraph 22) the wolves attack him and kill him. The wolves in both stories are portrayed
as fierce ferocious animals; they are creatures of the wilderness, hunting prey whenever possible. They are not the sociable animals such as dogs that
we are so custom to they are deadly animals in some cases. For example: In the mountain trail once the characters started to shoot at them the wolves
immediately thought of them as a threat, or when you are lying there motionless and if the wolves are hungry and in a pack you are a free snack to them.

In the fairy tales Little Red Riding Hood the wolf was a trick so he could eat her and as a result she ran away. In The Boy Who Cried Wolf, he was lier
and eventually died. They were supposed to scare us so as we got older we never saw a wolf and if we did it was a symbol of fear to us. But
because we have never seen them in person when we do we think of a way to either kill them or get them away so that they cannot harm us or them,

they are terrified of them they have people protecting lambs from their vicious fangs. Or werewolves when they turn into wolves they can't control

Little Red Riding Hood : A Fairy Tale
Little Red Riding Hood According to oxford dictionary a fairy tale is an all aged story about magical and imaginary things. (Fairy tale). A fairy tale to
me is also like reality, because it 's a story with a lesson behind it, that people learn from, the moral. To me a fairy tale is just a short made up story with
a strong meaning behind it. The moral of a fairy tale is a lesson that 's being described, to be learned! "Little Red Riding Hood", is the fairy tale that I
think has a very serious meaning to it. The cultural value to this fairy tale is, safety of women, and the safety of little girls. Its a European fairy
tale. Lurie says " The standard European fairy tale, both traditional and modern, takes place in a fixed social world."(Alison 364). By this she
meant that a fixed social world is a world that can not be changed. Its important to know that this fairy tale is a european fairy tale because in this
little story Little Red Riding Hood goes off and does stuff that people normally do but is very dangerous. That proves the idea of lesson learned. By
this I mean that anyone and everyone knows what consequences would have to be faced but still do it, because its something that can 't be changed.
People have to actually see or go through something bad to actually learn from it. But it 's still a lesson that is taught and cannot be changed. The
cultural value of this fairy tale " Little Red Riding Hood" as I previously mentioned is about the safety of women and

Red Riding Hood Symbolism
Another important illustrator that should be looked at is Trina Schart Hyman. Hyman wrote and illustrated her own Little Red Riding Hood story. She
chose to illustrate the scene where Little Red Riding Hood and the wolf meet for the first time because she sees that "Little Red Riding Hood" deals
with parent and child struggle. According to Jill P. May,Little Red Riding Hood first encounter with the wolf symbolizes her struggle against her
adoration and blind trust of her father (130). Hyman's childhood backyard influenced the background of the two character's meeting. This is the
reason why the scene has open grassy fields and some dense patches of woods. The wolf is taller than Little Red Riding Hood. It is clear in the
illustration that the wolf is a beast because of his large paws. However, the wolf's "expression seems to be kind and his stance implies
protectiveness" (May 130). Hyman illustrates Little Red Riding Hood greeting the wolf's friendship with guarded trust (May 130). May explains
Little Red Riding Hood welcoming the wolf's friendship with guarded trust reveals something is exciting about the overpowering wolf otherwise she
wouldn't accept the wolf's friendship. The wolf's "protective male aura is what causes Little Red Riding Hood to throw caution to the wind and
embrace the unknown" (May 130). There are differences between Jack Zipes and Bruno Bettelheim's view of Gustave Dore's illustrations that are
significant. One of the more notable

At first glance the characters Connie from "Where are you going? Where have you been?" and Little Red Riding Hood from the classic fairy tale
"Little Red Riding Hood" may seem to have nothing in common. However, from the start one can compare how much they actually have in common.
Though these two characters are very different they are the same in many ways. Their story, from beginning to end, is similar. It is easy to see how
alike and different they are with the description of Connie and Little Red Riding Hood's lives, the relationship with their wolves, and their tragic
endings.

Thoughts are not the only things Arnold and the wolf have in common. Arnold is said to look like Bob Dylan with "his unshaven face, his big white
teeth" (Tierce and Crafton 221) The wolf also had large teeth. This common section may suggest that each are both smooth talks but also are eager to
gobble up Connie and Little Red Riding Hood.
The ending of both characters are often times guessed upon. For Connie most people who read the story believe she will be raped, however, it is
never written in the authors words. For Little Red Riding Hood her ending in more definite in the stories but with so many versions it is a
question on what they all mean. Connie's ending is not sweet; it is not a happy ending. Where are You Going? Where Have You Been? ends in
confusion, turmoil, and an mysterious ending. It is not known for sure if Arnold does in fact rape Connie but the story depicts a clear ending
within its writing. For example, Arnold tells Connie "I'll hold you so tight you won't think you have to try to get away or pretend anything because
you'll know you can't" (Oates 512). It is clear to Connie in these lines what Arnold's purpose in her life is. There are many depictions of Little Red
Riding Hood and each has their own version of who she was and how the story ended. In the original written version by Perrault the wolf simply

Little Red Riding Hood Analysis
A Victim of Violence: Little Red Riding Hood When imaging the ideal audience of fairytales, children are quick to come to mind, although, our
perception of Little Red Riding Hood as an innocent fable is far from the truth. Alternatively, the origins of this story are derived from Italo Calvino's
"The False Grandmother", a story immersed in symbolism and metaphorical symbols intended strictly for a mature audience. The preceding tale was
"Little Red Cap "written by Charles Perrault and then later the "Little Red Riding" written by the Brothers Grimm. Although the details of these tales
vary, they all maintain similar storylines. The stories revolve around the young female characterLittle Red Riding Hood who is sent off on a mission to
bring her grandmother a basket of goods. During her adventure she encounters a wolf who engages in a hot pursuit to eat both the Grandmother and
Little Red Riding Hood, only to succeed in the earlier rendition of the story. In this essay I will prove that when the Grimm's Brothers and Perrault's
Little Red Riding Hood stories are critically analyzed, it becomes evident that they are inappropriate tales for children as they exemplify the
consequences of a minor transgression by Little Red Riding Hood as being the misleading cause of the violence and seduction that occurs thereafter.
Charles Perrault's, Little Red Cap places emphasis on the contrasting character traits of the protagonist Little Red Riding Hood and the antagonist the
Wolf.

Summary Of The Illustration Of Little Red Riding Hood
In Bonner's words, "In recent years contemporary artists have been appropriating and re–inventing traditional fairy tales" (2). Based on this claim, it
indicates that fairy tales are constantly evolving meaning that people's perception of these collections also change. Critics have been analyzing these
illustrations, forming their own interpretations and explanations. Jack Zipes' semiotic approach on Gustave Dore's illustration of "Little Red Riding
Hood" is one example. Zipes stated that the most important illustration in the tale was the moment Little Red Riding Hood meets the wolf for the first
time. Whereas, Bruno Bettelheim bares a psychoanalytic perspective of Dore's illustration, believed that the key moment was Little Red Riding Hood
and the wolf in bed together. Jill P. May viewed Trina Schant Hyman's illustration with a critical theorist demeanor. Through different viewpoints Zipes,
Bettelheim, and May summarize how varieties of perspectives influence individual's opinion and interpretation in the fairy tale, "Little Red Riding
Hood."
Jack Zipes analyzes Gustave Dore's illustration of Little Red Riding Hood meeting the wolf for the first time in a semiotic viewpoint. He
emphasizes the study of signal and signs as a communicative behavior, which covers body language. An example he used was the wolf and Little

In this story the wolf took advantage of the little girl's kindness, obliviousness, and innocence by getting information on where she was going, and
using it to his advantage. Although the wolf used information that wasn't pertained to him, Little Red Riding Hood's innocent qualities led her to
disregard the possibility of the wolf having evil plans for her and her grandmother. Her guiltless qualities led her to proffer too much information to
the wolf, and perceived her and her grandmother as vulnerable to the wolf. Not knowing the evil that is out there, she trusted the wolf and told him
exactly where she was going and who she was going to see. Since the wolf was aware of where the grandmother lived, she consumed Little Red
Riding Hood's grandmother and then followed by attempting to eat her (Perrault, Charles, and Grimm Jacob). If Little Red Riding Hood had done
what she was told by her mother and stayed on the bunny trail, she wouldn't have encountered any of this. Although, her mother should have not let
her into the forest alone either. This childhood story is a prime example of what we experience on an everyday basis. People need to be educated on
the danger another individual may possess. Not only do children lack intelligence in this field, parents do as well. Unfortunately, because people are not
protective of themselves and may be vulnerable, they are guiltless and their situation ends with unfortunate results just as Little Red Riding Hood

Little Red Riding Hood Essay
One of the most recognized fairy tales is "Little Red Riding Hood". In the Aarne– Thompson Folktale Types and Motifs Index Little Red Riding Hood
falls into the tale type of AT 333 Red Riding Hood (...). The two most recognizable characters in the AT 333 tale type is Little Red Riding Hood and
the wolf. These characters are in contrast to form the villain and innocent personalities that drive the plot (Tartar, 51). Whereas the wolf is a wicked,
greedy, predator (including sexually), Little Red is innocent (sexually). Depending on the version she is either cunning or naГЇve (Hallett, 27).
Furthermore, this tale type is being told for entertainment, but it also taught children not to talk to strangers (Walker, 12). In addition, this tale also
warns girls, specifically, to avoid strange men due to the heavily implied theme of rape within the story (Perrault, 35). Teaching moral warning and
ideas on sexuality through an aggressive male figure (wolf) and innocent female (Red Riding Hood) is the basic theme of the Red Riding Hood story.

Goldilocks and Little Red Riding Hood
In the story of Red Riding Hood, her mother had asked for her help to bring a basket of wine and fruits for her sick grandmother. Her mother
ordered her to stay on track and not to talk to any strangers on the way. However, she didn't stay on path and she talked to a wolf. The wolf took all
means to trick Red Riding Hood by disguising as her grandmother. He devoured Red Riding Hood and the grandmother.Little Red Riding Hood
screamed and the woodcutter in the forest came to her rescue. Red Riding Hood learnt her lesson to not talk to strangers.
In the story of Goldilocks, she took an alternative path, which her mum warned her not to use. Goldilocks lost her way and stumbled upon a house.
She went straight in without hesitation when no one answered the door. Because Goldilocks was so hungry, she tasted all three bowls of porridge,
sat on all three chairs and slept on all three beds. Meanwhile the owners arrived back home and discovered her existence. Goldilocks was awoken and
she bolted off the door. And she never returned to the home of the three bears in the woods.
We can see that Red Riding Hood and Goldilocks were both naГЇve. Both of them were unsophisticated, they never occurred to them that they might be
harmed. They had no knowledge on the outside world and how evil and dangerous the world can be. This was why they made the wrong decisions by

Differences Between Red Riding Hood And The Red Riding Hood
I couldn't remember how the story went as it has been some time since I read the story of Little Red Riding Hood. As I have discovered through the
stories of "The Chinese Red Riding Hoods" translated by Isabelle C. Chang, the Delaure's version of "The Story of Grandmother", and the original

different or the same? Though they are both fascinating, they are more similar than you realize.
Of all the different versions of the Little Red Riding Hood, they have one common factor, which is the wolf. In the versions I have mentioned
above, the wolf stays the same throughout the stories; he is very malicious and calculated. He waits for the little girl, or girls in the story of "The
Chinese Red Riding Hoods," as there are three sisters whose mother left to go visit the grandmother. While the wolf was outside and overheard the
mother asking for the oldest daughter to watch for her younger sisters. When it was dark, he disguised himself as an elderly woman and knocked at
the door of the three girls' house (Chang 1). In the other two versions, the wolf comes upon Little Red Riding Hood as she enters the forest and asks
her where she is traveling to. In the version of The Brothers Grimm, he comes right on out and asks her where her grandmother lives. On the way to

Folktales and Fairy Tales give us of a false sense of reality; there is a good side with no evil within the world and a side that scares us with the harsh
bitter truth. The folktale versions of Little Red Riding Hood, "Wolf" by Francesca Block and "Werewolf" by Angela Carter, depict " a wicked world
" filled with "cold weather and cold hearts" through their experiences (Block 1; Carter 1). Although the protagonists in "Wolf" and "Werewolf" both
live in harsh and cruel environments, the differences in their self–esteem and reactions to certain difficulties are conflicting. The protagonist in "Wolf"
has low self–esteem because of the abuse and takes no action in the beginning. On the other hand, the protagonist in "The Werewolf" has a high

Red Riding Hood watched as the paw fell to the ground, "but it was no longer a wolf's paw. It was a hand, chopped off at the wrist, a hand toughened

stories were fantastical to the reader because now the protagonist in "Wolf" goes through magical realism because she dreams of a better life for herself
and makes the decision to escape from her harsh home conditions. On the other hand, "The Werewolf" exhibits fantastical moments when the reader
realizes that when the protagonist cut off the hand of the beast, it was actually her grandmother's hand. Afterwards, the protagonist resides in her

first therefore she climbs a tree to get away. Realizing he wasn't going away she treats him like a child, tells him to calm down and proceeds to
inquire why he was so disgruntled, only to uncover the poor wolf was suffering from starvation. She becomes the superhero of the day and shares
her raspberries and each one learns something new about the other. The Grimm's tale states that in the forest Red sees the wolf as someone not to
be afraid of, an acquaintance of sort. Red is a very distracted character allowing herself to be redirected at every turn. At grandma's she is focused on
doing what she believes an adult is telling her to do, even though she obviously has misgivings about it. By this time grandma is already consumed by

Goldilocks And Red Riding Hood Comparative Essay
The story of Little Red Riding Hood and Goldilocks are very different but similar in some ways. The story of Goldilocks has to do with a little girl
breaking into a family of bears' house, while Little Red Riding Hood centers on a little girl going to her grandmother's house to later discover there
is a wolf impersonating as her grandma. However, the girls' decisions are the reason the stories are even famous. Goldilocks and Red Riding Hood
made different decisions that affected the plot of both stories. If Little Red Riding Hood had never gone to her grandmother's house, she would never
have known there was a wolf in disguise. The same concept applies to Goldilocks. If she had never wandered into the bears' home or if she had
completed her crimes quicker, the story would be completely different. Red Riding Hood's decisions are cautious and thoughtful, unlike those of
Goldilocks. She was being generous by giving her grandmother some fresh cakes that she made while Goldilocks broke into a home, ate their food,
and broke their furniture. Goldilocks ventures into the woods without her parent's permission while Red Riding Hood's parents knew her whereabouts.

during the day, she would act as if nothing was wrong. Like she hadn't left another bruise upon my skin or my heart, like she was the perfect

also different because in the end, the protagonist faces the wolf head–on as equals, and is able to convince the wolf to abandon his "bad"
instinct–driven ways, and find his inner peace. However, the major textual plot points that are present in Grimm's "Little Red Cap", such as the wolf
distracting Red in the woods, him racing to grandmother's house to trick and eat her, and the ever famous "Granny, what big ears you have" lines are
all still there, though paraphrased to fit the slightly sarcastic theme of the book. This book could be interpreted as an alternative text to "Little Red
Cap", and in fact, this is what I had initially labeled it as. The storyline has some of the main features still in–tact, as previously discussed, and it could
be that the ninja component is simply a new idea that is being introduced and thrown into the mix, thus influencing the outcome of the story, which is
arguably the most notable difference. However, after considering the mood, the overall message, and the implications of this book, I have determined
that it is a blatantly oppositional text to the Grimm's "Little Red Cap". This story is illustrated with a combination of Sumi brushwork and

Essay on Little Red Riding Hood
Throughout literature, authors employ a variety of strategies to highlight the central message being conveyed to the audience. Analyzing pieces of
literature through the gender critics lens accentuates what the author believes to be masculine or feminine and that society and culture determines the
gender responsibility of an individual. In the classic fairytale Little Red Riding Hood, the gender strategies appear through the typical fragile women of
the mother and the grandmother, the heartless and clever male wolf, and the naГЇve and vulnerable girl as little red riding hood. In the classical tale of
Little Red Riding Hood, Little Red Riding Hood leaves her mother to visit her grandmother, and both the women possess the feminine ... Show more

Highlighting that the women were inferior to him, the wolf plans to "be clever about this that the [he] can make a good meal out of the two of them"
(Hyman 8). He gradually formulates a strategy to hoodwink the adolescent into entrusting him. By doing this, he reveals that the author subconsciously
believes men to be of such evasiveness. He seems gentle and kind, but his true character lies under the mask of kindness. The gentle wolves become the
most dangerous in these varieties of narratives, because they shadow the infantile, naГЇve girls, and swindle them into trusting them before they
commence to do the unthinkable act of deceiving the women (Bettelheim 168). The wolf's superior nature as a male character provides a character foil
for the lady–like traits of Little Red Riding Hood as he overpowers her with his male authority and intelligence. As Little Red Riding Hood blindly
follows the wolf's commands and becomes the weaker of the two characters, she proves the idea that being raised in a society where the women
continue to allow themselves to be suppressed into the kitchen and household chores affects the gender role that she takes on herself. As Little Red
Riding Hood begins to leave on her journey, her mother proves her lack of faith in the intelligence of her daughter as she instructs her to not
"daydream and stray off the path" (Hyman 3). She continues on her journey, and the wolf sees her from

Red Riding Hood by the Grimm Brothers may be a bedtime story for little children, but I have always known that there was more to this story than
it lets on. It seems too dark to just be a lesson about listening to your parents. Upon reading it again at the age of seventeen, however, I can finally
see other possible meanings to the classic tale. The one that screamed out at me the most: rape. Although it may seem silly, I think the story alludes
to rape, instead replacing it with 'eat'. The wolf, the rapist, eats both Red Riding Hood and her grandmother. He sees Red Riding Hood on the path in
the woods and immediately thinks to eat her. Red Riding Hood trusts the wolf because she "... did not know what a wicked animal he was, so she was

Her mother warns her to not wander in the forrest. Many times throughout their lives people, especially women, are told to not go out late at night,

people from getting raped. As sad as it is, sometimes simple liberties, like Red Riding Hood's flower picking, are taken away because of rapists. Red
Riding Hood ignores her mother's advice at first so she can have fun, but after the events of the story take place she vows to "... never again wander

Summary Of The Red Riding Hood
Thesis statement: Although Angela Carter's the company of wolves contains noticeable resemblances with its older variant, Charles Perrault's little red
riding hood, Carter prefers to reveal the relationship dynamics between men and women through subverting the traditional tale of a young naive girl
who is tricked by the cunning big bad wolf. Instead, presenting the heroine's true ambition, in which she wants to governor her own incarceration into
damnation. In several instances of metaphors, foreshadowing, and ironic devices, she is revealed to be antagonist rather than the protagonist of Carter's
story, therefore reshaping the classical notion of little red riding hood into a feminist retelling of a girl attempting to gain control of their own narrative.
Main point #1: While Perrault presents a cautionary tale on the predators that target little, innocent naive girls; Carter restructures the identities of the
wolf and the girl, through using of metaphors that capture the uncertain nature of man's beastliness and humanity and women's virginity and sexuality.
Example:
–Carter repeats this phrase throughout the story, " the wolf is carnivore incarnate." a metaphor for the man's dual nature. On one hand, he is a beastly
predator who preys on vulnerability and on the other hand, his humanity shows through, hence presenting a nice, affable man.
–When Carter states, " she is an unbroken egg; she is a sealed vessel; she has her magic space the entrance to which is shut

Symbolism In Red Riding Hood
It Begins With a Full Moon.
The full moon appears, big and bright, suddenly, the whole town is running, locking doors, and sealing windows. Everyone awaits quietly in dark
rooms, for the night to pass by quickly. And they hear it, a scream, someone forgot to lock their door, and then nothing. Everyone will wait for the
next day when they will find a dirty naked body sleeping on the streets, blood still on his cheeks, the man is the only thing left when the werewolf is
gone. This is a similar scenario that appears in most of the stories that involve werewolves as monsters. In the 2013 movie adaptation of Red Riding
Hood, the transformation of the man into a werewolf is visible in the movie, and it is shown how with a full moon he is losing control to his instincts.
The werewolf represents the human fear of giving in to the darkest desires that live inside all of them, the inner struggle of doing what it's not socially
accepted and figuring out how to avoid it, and becoming a voluntary or involuntary monster, and how easy it is to control the conversion.
In the first place the symbols in the movie Red Riding Hood, come from a new adaptation of the original story, which dates as far as 700 hundred
years. It is known that 2 several versions of the story have made an appearance. This movie, being the most recent version, explores a modern
approach with a goth twist, and this is now how the characters and universe they live in are interpreted. The story is full of symbolism;

The Little Red Riding Hood
Do you ever wonder why writers retell our childhood tales? Does is ever occur to you that the tales being retold may be used to tell a reader a
deeper message? During our childhood we were told stories of many sorts that directed a message to the reader, such as "The Little Red Riding
Hood" by Charles Perrault. As children, our parents read this short story in order for us to receive the authors message to not talk to strangers or else
something bad can happen. Children see tales such as "The Little Red Riding Hood" very differently than adults do. As adults, they see this young
attractive village girl being tricked by the wolf who gathers information he needs to find her grandmother to eat. Overtime, the story has changed

One of the symbols that periodically pops up in many of the "Little Red Riding Hood" tales is the red cap that Little Red wears. The cap is given
to her by her grandmother, which symbolizes a deeper message in the retellings. The story by Perrault really doesn't symbolize anything, mainly
noted that it was given by her grandmother, however, in Angela Carters story it represents the transition to women hood. Carter states, "She closed
the window on the wolves' threnody and took off her scarlet shawl, the color of poppies, the color of sacrifices, the color of her menses, and since
her fear did her no good, she ceased to be afraid. What shall I do with my shawl? Throw it on the fire, dear one. You won't need it again" (649).
Here Little Red Riding Hood burns her shawl, which represent her sexuality. Little Red is no longer betrayed as a little girl, she ends her innocence
by burning her shawl which ends her virginity. Symbols can represent more than just a symbolic meaning but making it important or a lesson taught to
the readers. The shawl that represents her cape which symbolizes the end of her little girl innocence because she gets naked in front of the wolf and
the story goes on to lose her virginity. Another symbol that resonance Little Red in general is,

Little Red Riding Hood Comparison
The adaptations and interpretations of "Red Riding Hood" vary considerably, showing a plethora of reformations in time. Versions such as the one
of main focus in this analysis have aspects of the modern era that we live in today incorporated into their hidden messages. They speak to both the
audiences of children and adults, some being too explicit for children's ears. The version that will be analyzed in this essay is a poem by Roald Dahl
from his collection of Revolting Rhymes. This particular version, like David McPhail's "Little Red Riding Hood", is a bowdlerized version of the tale,
with a twist. (Maaren, Bowdlerism).
This version that is aimed at children, though seems far too familiar at first, ends with an unexpected change to the fairytale. The poem begins with a
reversal in roles, with the Wolf being in the spotlight, and Little Red Riding Hood nowhere to be mentioned. In the original tale, one is anxiously
waiting for the wolf to make his appearance, yet in this poem the wait is for Little Red Riding Hood. With this being the first big change, it enables
the reader to be aware that he or she will be taken into unknown territory. There is no explanation as to ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
But in this version, the not so clear portrayal makes it all the more intriguing for the reader, constantly anxious to make sense of what is happening
with the drastic alteration of events. The poem describes the wolf as just that, which makes it hard to distinguish whether he is "big" or "bad". This
makes him seem harmless, further with the addition of calling him "Wolfie" (Dahl 6). We learn that he is searching for a "decent meal" (Dahl 2),
which fails to describe his hunger as one that is dangerous. It is not until Dahl arrives at the wolf's "sharp white teeth", and "horrid grin," (5) that we
begin to realize that he is the Big Bad Wolf after

Red Riding Hood
The Little Red Riding Hood is the classic tale of the never–ending battle between good and evil, a story of greed and hope, and a story about
responsibility along with the occasional second chance.
Red Riding Hood wore a red hood, covering her hair. Especially women's hair, plays an important role in many cultures around the world.
In the 19th century, any decent woman would never be caught wearing such a sinful color, only women with extremely bad reputations wore red
clothing, as in the Scarlet Letter, the main character was casted out of the village and was to wear a red letter "A" in repricution to the sins that she had

Perrault's Red Riding Hood
Red Riding Hood (RHH) is arguably one of the most famous fairy–tales. Told throughout Europe, this tale is folklore–a tradition perpetrated orally,
representing a shared culture or way of life for a group or population – at its finest. Fairy–tales are harder to define –the most commonly accepted being
a subcategory of folklore, intended for children, featuring unnatural creatures and/or requiring use of magic to resolve the situation (Harries, 2003).
Any fairy–tale exists in multiple forms with a number of variations, but with certain traits making it recognizable. In the simplest version of RRH, a
girl is told by her mother to bring her grandmother some food. Going through the woods, RHH meets the Wolf, who she confides in. The wolf distracts

RHH in OUAT is a paradox, unique to mass culture: the tale is perpetrated through the screen, but the original relationship between story, storyteller and

into AUs (alternate universes), creating prologues and epilogues and crafting the ellipses forgotten on the show. As of January 25th, there are 5639
works on Archive of our Own featuring Red Riding Hood: the folktale is alive and kicking.

In the multiple readings of the little red riding hood there were many small differences. Throughout every story there happens to be the predator
(whether it's a wolf, ogress, or bear), the little girl, as well as the sweet grandmother. Within the tales there is the basic story line of the typical little red
riding hood; the wolf (predator) hunts little red (little girl) and through the chase manages to gobble up the grandmother as well. In most cases, the little
girl manages to eliminate the predator; in another a huntsman's saves both red and the grandmother. Although most times, the grandmother does not

Red Riding Hood Research Paper
Red Riding Hood is a clear example of how children are not ideally seen in the time these stories were written and in today's view of the ideal child.
Red Riding hood continues to be portrayed in this way even in the different ways this story has been rewritten from Perrault to Angela Carter's "The
Company of Wolves" which ends with her version of Red Riding Hood and the wolf together in the end. Her lack of innocence even starts from the
beginning in making her hood red which is a color that is sexualized. This red color also represents menstruation which is not a child concern but an
adolescent concern as a young woman enters adulthood. This creates this argument that these stories are showing how Red Riding Hood is not the
ideal innocent child but rather a sexualized icon that children should not become. Firstly, Perrault shows how Red Riding Hood may not be the
innocent victim we make her out to be in the way... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
This is further evidence Red Riding Hood is not an innocent child. This is seen when the story states, "Moral: Children, especially attractive, well
bred young ladies, should never talk to strangers, for if they should do so, they may well provide dinner for a wolf. I say "wolf," but there are
various kinds of wolves. There are also those who are charming, quiet, polite, unassuming, complacent, and sweet, who pursue young women at home
and in the streets. And unfortunately, it is these gentle wolves who are the most dangerous ones of all." (Perrault). This is also arguably referencing
Red Riding Hood as a young woman proving she is not an innocent child. This also refers to her as attractive which we typically do not associated
with children. This moral has also been known to appeal to the adult reader rather than the child showing how Red Riding Hood is also relatable to the

Charles Perrault, and "Little Red Cap" by Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm are all different in their own ways yet very much similar to one another in the

In one of the stories mentioned, "Little Red Riding Hood" the girl gives up the directions to her grandmother's house to a wolf she has never met
saying that the house is, "the first house you come to in the village." (Perrault) In another version of the tale, "Little Red Cap" the directions are a bit
more detailed as she tells the wolf that the house is, "In the wood, fifteen or twenty minutes' walk from here, and under the three big oak trees." She
then goes on to say that it has hazel hedges around it and surely he must know the place. (Grimm) This is mistake number one as the intelligent thing
to do would have been for the little girl to ignore the wolf, and if that was not possible to do she should not have given up such vital information to
someone, or in this case a wolf, that she did not know. This mistake while she must not have thought it an important thing ended up starting a chain

Red Riding Hood Analysis
Red Hooded Deception
Prologues are often an author's way of introducing important information or topics needed to understand the body of writing on a deeper level or as a
way to direct the reader to a certain line of thought or specific interpretation of the writing. Anne Sexton writes a prologue for every single one of her
poems in her compilation of fairytale poetry throughout Transformations. She gives the reader so many hints throughout her prologues on what the
reader should pay attention to. In "Red Riding Hood", Sexton draw immense attention to the issues of deception in real life though the importance she
places on these issues in her poem. She calls out not only the frequency of deception in life but she calls attention specifically to the deception of a
mother's security.
"Many are the deceivers" this is the first line setting the stage for the little red riding hood tale (Sexton 73). Sexton immediately draws the reader's
attention to the idea of deception. She sets the tone right at the beginning of the poem, not only is "Red Riding Hood" a dark and foreboding story as
opposed to the light and happy fairytale its often remembered as, but deception waits at every turn. In fact, throughout the entire work Sexton continues
to flaunt the deception pictured in this childhood masterpiece. Periodically she crafted lines that blatantly spell out for the reader what needs to be
focused on by dropping lines that directly call out dishonesty, "And this too was a deception– nothing new haunts a new house" (Sexton 75). After
finishing the prolog, the first line of the actual story of red riding hood restates the deceptive tone of Anne Sexton's work, "Long ago there was a
strange deception..." (Sexton 76). She also calls outright attention to dishonesty multiple times throughout the rest of the actual tale with lines like,
"A deceptive fellow" and "Many a deception ends on such a note" (Sexton 77, 78). With these direct calls towards the deception in this fairytale,
Sexton gives us insight into what lens she wishes the reader to see the world from. The story and prolog together are only a few short pages so for
her to spend so many precious words on the topic of deception it must be important. She spends the

Comparison Of Little Red Riding Hood
Little Red Riding Hood is European folk mythology which teaches children the dangers of the unknown through the story of the titular protagonist
and her encounter with 'The Wolf'. Charles Perrault penned the first version for print in 1697 in Tales and Stories of the Past with Morals. Tales of
Mother Goose; these stories are highly moralized and didactic with their roots in early French folklore. It was in this version that the significant
meaning of the iconic 'red hood' was first noted. I will be focusing my exploration into adaptation on three of Angela Carter's short stories from her
collection The Bloody Chamber; The Werewolf, Wolf Alice and The Company of Wolves. Collectively these stories are known as 'The Wolf Trilogy'

Thus, reiterating the 'victim complex' of the original fairy tales. Carter bypasses this entirely and allows her feminine hero to 'prosper' instead of
perishing.
In The Company of Wolves Carter endeavours to restore the helpless girl created in Perrault's tale into a witty and self–reliant woman, fitting of today's
modern feminist. She is presented as a young woman in touch with her own sexuality who takes control of the situation and therefore saves herself
from being eaten. In direct contrast, her grandmother, who conforms to the patriarchal systems of oppression, ends up dead. The grandmother
represents the older generation; her life reduced to remembering her marriage and being devoted to the bible. Her lack of initiative to change her own
life ultimately seals her fate. The reader is given evidence early on that the young girl does not conform to patriarchal

The Danger of Strangers in Little Red Riding Hood

  • 1. The Importance of Little Red Riding Hood Ever heard of the saying "stranger danger" Little Red Riding Hood hasn't. The fairy tales that are taught and shared today teach life lessons. Little Red Riding Hood is a fairy tale recorder by The Brothers Grimm that is about a young naГЇve girl who is deceived by the Wolf and is taught a life lesson. Little Red Riding Hood is a fairy tale that originates from Germany and much of Europe and is about a girl who was hoodwinked by the Wolf and teaches a theme or moral about growing up, and being safe. The tale Little Red Riding Hood is said to originate from the eighteenth to the nineteenth century in Europe. Originally this tale was told orally thus the many different versions of this story. The first written versions are said to be published by Charles Perrault and The Brothers Grimm. Though the versions are very similar there are small differences. In Perrault's version Little Red Riding Hood is told to bring her grandmother a cake and a little pot of butter, though in Grimm's version it is written "One day her mother said to her: 'Come, Little Red Riding Hood, here is a piece of cake and a bottle of wine; take them to your grandmother,..." The differences in these versions are of the smaller differences. The versions I am going to be studying the differences and similarities are between Perrault and The Brothers Grimm's versions. The key importance to remember is that they may be different versions they are still the same story and share the same lessons, though written ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

  • 3. Stereotypes In Red Riding Hood Reading fairy tales or seeing them represented has become part of an everyday routine for children. As Baker–Sperry states, "Through interaction that occurs within everyday routines (Corsaro 1997), children are able to learn the rules of the social group in which they are a part" (Baker–Sperry 717–718). For example, through Red Riding Hood, children learn to listen to their parents and to be wary of strangers. Some of these messages are harmful though; not all girls have to be naive and weak while boys are predacious wolves. Not everyone has to play the role that society assigns them. A good example of this is Cory Edwards' 2005 retelling of Red Riding Hood, Hoodwinked. In this movie, Red (Anne Hathaway), the Big Bad Wolf (Patrick Warburton), and Granny (Glenn Close) all get into a misunderstanding based on stereotypes of their roles. After it is resolved, they team up to stop a criminal enterprise. Each character defies society's expectations in someway. In the Grimm story, Little Red–Cap is naive and easily fooled. Red–Cap meets a wolf in the woods, "Red–Cap did not know what a wicked creature he was, and was not at all afraid of him" (Grimm). She is then tricked into believing that he is her grandmother and he devours her. She later has to be saved from death by the huntsman that happens to walk by (Grimm). She shows little agency and does not know enough to protect herself. This varies greatly from Red in Hoodwinked. Towards the beginning of the movie, there is a scene ...

  • 4. Little Red Riding Hood Monologue We all know the story about Little Red Riding Hood. She went to her grandma's house and got attacked by the big bad wolf. Now I will tell you what really happened. It was a nice sunny day in the middle of summer. There was a girl who everyone called Little Red Riding Hood (because she always wore a red jacket with a red hood and she was small), but her real name was Elizabeth. Elizabeth the cruel. She was just getting out of church and walking home, but on her way, a bluebird approached her and said that her grandma was very ill. The bird told Red that her grandma might die if she did not have any medicine soon. Little Red immediately sprinted home, grabbed some medicine and a picnic basket. She tossed in a knife for protection because she ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... She said, "My, what big feet you have." I tried to talk like grandma, but my gruff voice gave me away. Little Red Riding Hood knew that it was me. She yelled, "Did you eat her?" "No, no!" I cried. "She went to the hospital!" "I don't believe you," Little Red screamed as she pulled out her gun. Just then, fox leaped out of his hiding spot and attacked Red from behind. Fox and I fled the house. Later that night when grandma got home, she saw that Little Red Riding Hood was hurt. Grandma took her to the hospital. When Red told them about what had happened, the cops thought the hair that she had on her jacket was mine. But I was innocent and this story proves it! Red got grounded for a week. That was her only punishment. As for fox, he lied to the cops and said it was me who attacked her. A few days later, he got trapped in one of those traps set up by Red's parents. He's going to be their meal for supper. Serves him right. I never liked that cheating scumbag in the first place.

  • 7. Wolves In Little Red Riding Hood In both stories wolves are portrayed as dangerous creatures. Throughout the story of On the Mountain Trail the wolves are chasing after what they think is prey. Then in Law of Life at the end of the story (paragraph 22) the wolves attack him and kill him. The wolves in both stories are portrayed as fierce ferocious animals; they are creatures of the wilderness, hunting prey whenever possible. They are not the sociable animals such as dogs that we are so custom to they are deadly animals in some cases. For example: In the mountain trail once the characters started to shoot at them the wolves immediately thought of them as a threat, or when you are lying there motionless and if the wolves are hungry and in a pack you are a free snack to them. ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... In the fairy tales Little Red Riding Hood the wolf was a trick so he could eat her and as a result she ran away. In The Boy Who Cried Wolf, he was lier and eventually died. They were supposed to scare us so as we got older we never saw a wolf and if we did it was a symbol of fear to us. But because we have never seen them in person when we do we think of a way to either kill them or get them away so that they cannot harm us or them, the main characters (On the Mountain Trail paragraph 9–10 and Law of life paragraph 22). But sometimes we don't understand wolves they can represent fear as the lone wolf represents when it's hunting alone without his pack and howls its a nonsocial animal it just depends on its confidence with its pack. Wolves also mean in different religions that you are strong and brave, or in the Japanese they worshiped them. But in most religions they are terrified of them they have people protecting lambs from their vicious fangs. Or werewolves when they turn into wolves they can't control themselves and everyone has to run and hide from them.

  • 8. Little Red Riding Hood : A Fairy Tale Little Red Riding Hood According to oxford dictionary a fairy tale is an all aged story about magical and imaginary things. (Fairy tale). A fairy tale to me is also like reality, because it 's a story with a lesson behind it, that people learn from, the moral. To me a fairy tale is just a short made up story with a strong meaning behind it. The moral of a fairy tale is a lesson that 's being described, to be learned! "Little Red Riding Hood", is the fairy tale that I think has a very serious meaning to it. The cultural value to this fairy tale is, safety of women, and the safety of little girls. Its a European fairy tale. Lurie says " The standard European fairy tale, both traditional and modern, takes place in a fixed social world."(Alison 364). By this she meant that a fixed social world is a world that can not be changed. Its important to know that this fairy tale is a european fairy tale because in this little story Little Red Riding Hood goes off and does stuff that people normally do but is very dangerous. That proves the idea of lesson learned. By this I mean that anyone and everyone knows what consequences would have to be faced but still do it, because its something that can 't be changed. People have to actually see or go through something bad to actually learn from it. But it 's still a lesson that is taught and cannot be changed. The cultural value of this fairy tale " Little Red Riding Hood" as I previously mentioned is about the safety of women and ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 9. Red Riding Hood Symbolism Another important illustrator that should be looked at is Trina Schart Hyman. Hyman wrote and illustrated her own Little Red Riding Hood story. She chose to illustrate the scene where Little Red Riding Hood and the wolf meet for the first time because she sees that "Little Red Riding Hood" deals with parent and child struggle. According to Jill P. May,Little Red Riding Hood first encounter with the wolf symbolizes her struggle against her adoration and blind trust of her father (130). Hyman's childhood backyard influenced the background of the two character's meeting. This is the reason why the scene has open grassy fields and some dense patches of woods. The wolf is taller than Little Red Riding Hood. It is clear in the illustration that the wolf is a beast because of his large paws. However, the wolf's "expression seems to be kind and his stance implies protectiveness" (May 130). Hyman illustrates Little Red Riding Hood greeting the wolf's friendship with guarded trust (May 130). May explains Little Red Riding Hood welcoming the wolf's friendship with guarded trust reveals something is exciting about the overpowering wolf otherwise she wouldn't accept the wolf's friendship. The wolf's "protective male aura is what causes Little Red Riding Hood to throw caution to the wind and embrace the unknown" (May 130). There are differences between Jack Zipes and Bruno Bettelheim's view of Gustave Dore's illustrations that are significant. One of the more notable ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 10. Little Red Riding Hood by Bill Delaney At first glance the characters Connie from "Where are you going? Where have you been?" and Little Red Riding Hood from the classic fairy tale "Little Red Riding Hood" may seem to have nothing in common. However, from the start one can compare how much they actually have in common. Though these two characters are very different they are the same in many ways. Their story, from beginning to end, is similar. It is easy to see how alike and different they are with the description of Connie and Little Red Riding Hood's lives, the relationship with their wolves, and their tragic endings. At the start of each story the authors give you a bit of insight into Connie and Little Red Riding Hood's lives. Connie is a fifteen year old girl with a whole ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Thoughts are not the only things Arnold and the wolf have in common. Arnold is said to look like Bob Dylan with "his unshaven face, his big white teeth" (Tierce and Crafton 221) The wolf also had large teeth. This common section may suggest that each are both smooth talks but also are eager to gobble up Connie and Little Red Riding Hood. The ending of both characters are often times guessed upon. For Connie most people who read the story believe she will be raped, however, it is never written in the authors words. For Little Red Riding Hood her ending in more definite in the stories but with so many versions it is a question on what they all mean. Connie's ending is not sweet; it is not a happy ending. Where are You Going? Where Have You Been? ends in confusion, turmoil, and an mysterious ending. It is not known for sure if Arnold does in fact rape Connie but the story depicts a clear ending within its writing. For example, Arnold tells Connie "I'll hold you so tight you won't think you have to try to get away or pretend anything because you'll know you can't" (Oates 512). It is clear to Connie in these lines what Arnold's purpose in her life is. There are many depictions of Little Red Riding Hood and each has their own version of who she was and how the story ended. In the original written version by Perrault the wolf simply attacks Little Red Riding Hood and devours her. "Few parents choose to read ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 11. Little Red Riding Hood Analysis A Victim of Violence: Little Red Riding Hood When imaging the ideal audience of fairytales, children are quick to come to mind, although, our perception of Little Red Riding Hood as an innocent fable is far from the truth. Alternatively, the origins of this story are derived from Italo Calvino's "The False Grandmother", a story immersed in symbolism and metaphorical symbols intended strictly for a mature audience. The preceding tale was "Little Red Cap "written by Charles Perrault and then later the "Little Red Riding" written by the Brothers Grimm. Although the details of these tales vary, they all maintain similar storylines. The stories revolve around the young female characterLittle Red Riding Hood who is sent off on a mission to bring her grandmother a basket of goods. During her adventure she encounters a wolf who engages in a hot pursuit to eat both the Grandmother and Little Red Riding Hood, only to succeed in the earlier rendition of the story. In this essay I will prove that when the Grimm's Brothers and Perrault's Little Red Riding Hood stories are critically analyzed, it becomes evident that they are inappropriate tales for children as they exemplify the consequences of a minor transgression by Little Red Riding Hood as being the misleading cause of the violence and seduction that occurs thereafter. Charles Perrault's, Little Red Cap places emphasis on the contrasting character traits of the protagonist Little Red Riding Hood and the antagonist the Wolf. ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 12. Summary Of The Illustration Of Little Red Riding Hood In Bonner's words, "In recent years contemporary artists have been appropriating and re–inventing traditional fairy tales" (2). Based on this claim, it indicates that fairy tales are constantly evolving meaning that people's perception of these collections also change. Critics have been analyzing these illustrations, forming their own interpretations and explanations. Jack Zipes' semiotic approach on Gustave Dore's illustration of "Little Red Riding Hood" is one example. Zipes stated that the most important illustration in the tale was the moment Little Red Riding Hood meets the wolf for the first time. Whereas, Bruno Bettelheim bares a psychoanalytic perspective of Dore's illustration, believed that the key moment was Little Red Riding Hood and the wolf in bed together. Jill P. May viewed Trina Schant Hyman's illustration with a critical theorist demeanor. Through different viewpoints Zipes, Bettelheim, and May summarize how varieties of perspectives influence individual's opinion and interpretation in the fairy tale, "Little Red Riding Hood." Jack Zipes analyzes Gustave Dore's illustration of Little Red Riding Hood meeting the wolf for the first time in a semiotic viewpoint. He emphasizes the study of signal and signs as a communicative behavior, which covers body language. An example he used was the wolf and Little Red Riding Hood's first impressions. He argued one of the most expressive aspects of the image was the "longing if not seductive look of Little Red ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 13. 'Exposed In The Little Red Riding Hood' In the timeless story The Little Red Riding Hood is a story geared to children to be cautious with whom they give their trust to and teaches children to invariably listen to the good their parents have to say. The Lovely Bones explains the consequences that come with trusting the wrong person. The Little Red Riding Hood and The Lovely Bones share a didactic purpose: first, to warn innocent young females of the physical danger and possibilities present in the modern society, and second, to warn them to be careful with their trust. Physical Abuse is a variety of abuse that occurs frequently around the world. It is a very serious situation because people get murdered, tortured, physically, and mentally abused.

In this story the wolf took advantage of the little girl's kindness, obliviousness, and innocence by getting information on where she was going, and using it to his advantage. Although the wolf used information that wasn't pertained to him, Little Red Riding Hood's innocent qualities led her to disregard the possibility of the wolf having evil plans for her and her grandmother. Her guiltless qualities led her to proffer too much information to the wolf, and perceived her and her grandmother as vulnerable to the wolf. Not knowing the evil that is out there, she trusted the wolf and told him exactly where she was going and who she was going to see. Since the wolf was aware of where the grandmother lived, she consumed Little Red Riding Hood's grandmother and then followed by attempting to eat her (Perrault, Charles, and Grimm Jacob). If Little Red Riding Hood had done what she was told by her mother and stayed on the bunny trail, she wouldn't have encountered any of this. Although, her mother should have not let her into the forest alone either. This childhood story is a prime example of what we experience on an everyday basis. People need to be educated on the danger another individual may possess. Not only do children lack intelligence in this field, parents do as well. Unfortunately, because people are not protective of themselves and may be vulnerable, they are guiltless and their situation ends with unfortunate results just as Little Red Riding Hood ...

The two most recognizable characters in the AT 333 tale type is Little Red Riding Hood and the wolf. These characters are in contrast to form the villain and innocent personalities that drive the plot (Tartar, 51). Whereas the wolf is a wicked, greedy, predator (including sexually), Little Red is innocent (sexually). Depending on the version she is either cunning or naГЇve (Hallett, 27). Furthermore, this tale type is being told for entertainment, but it also taught children not to talk to strangers (Walker, 12). In addition, this tale also warns girls, specifically, to avoid strange men due to the heavily implied theme of rape within the story (Perrault, 35). Teaching moral warning and ideas on sexuality through an aggressive male figure (wolf) and innocent female (Red Riding Hood) is the basic theme of the Red Riding Hood story. This tale type is distinctly different from many other tales because there is "no ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Chang's version "The Little Red Riding Hood's" (Chang, 38–40).

Another break from common Westernfairy tale tropes is that out of the three girls the cleverest is the oldest, rather than the youngest (Tatar, 87).

  • 15. Goldilocks and Little Red Riding Hood In the story of Red Riding Hood, her mother had asked for her help to bring a basket of wine and fruits for her sick grandmother. Her mother ordered her to stay on track and not to talk to any strangers on the way. However, she didn't stay on path and she talked to a wolf. The wolf took all means to trick Red Riding Hood by disguising as her grandmother. He devoured Red Riding Hood and the grandmother.Little Red Riding Hood screamed and the woodcutter in the forest came to her rescue. Red Riding Hood learnt her lesson to not talk to strangers. In the story of Goldilocks, she took an alternative path, which her mum warned her not to use. Goldilocks lost her way and stumbled upon a house. She went straight in without hesitation when no one answered the door. Because Goldilocks was so hungry, she tasted all three bowls of porridge, sat on all three chairs and slept on all three beds. Meanwhile the owners arrived back home and discovered her existence. Goldilocks was awoken and she bolted off the door. And she never returned to the home of the three bears in the woods. We can see that Red Riding Hood and Goldilocks were both naГЇve. Both of them were unsophisticated, they never occurred to them that they might be harmed. They had no knowledge on the outside world and how evil and dangerous the world can be. This was why they made the wrong decisions by talking to strangers and going into stranger's house uninvited.

  • 16. Differences Between Red Riding Hood And The Red Riding Hood I couldn't remember how the story went as it has been some time since I read the story of Little Red Riding Hood. As I have discovered through the stories of "The Chinese Red Riding Hoods" translated by Isabelle C. Chang, the Delaure's version of "The Story of Grandmother", and the original Grimm's version of "Little Red Riding Hood" there are many versions with similarities and differences within each story. What makes these stories so different or the same? Though they are both fascinating, they are more similar than you realize. Of all the different versions of the Little Red Riding Hood, they have one common factor, which is the wolf. In the versions I have mentioned above, the wolf stays the same throughout the stories; he is very malicious and calculated. He waits for the little girl, or girls in the story of "The Chinese Red Riding Hoods," as there are three sisters whose mother left to go visit the grandmother. While the wolf was outside and overheard the mother asking for the oldest daughter to watch for her younger sisters. When it was dark, he disguised himself as an elderly woman and knocked at the door of the three girls' house (Chang 1). In the other two versions, the wolf comes upon Little Red Riding Hood as she enters the forest and asks her where she is traveling to. In the version of The Brothers Grimm, he comes right on out and asks her where her grandmother lives. On the way to the cottage, the wolf distracts the girl by asking her why she doesn't look ...

The folktale versions of Little Red Riding Hood, "Wolf" by Francesca Block and "Werewolf" by Angela Carter, depict " a wicked world " filled with "cold weather and cold hearts" through their experiences (Block 1; Carter 1). Although the protagonists in "Wolf" and "Werewolf" both live in harsh and cruel environments, the differences in their self–esteem and reactions to certain difficulties are conflicting.

The moments in these two stories were fantastical to the reader because now the protagonist in "Wolf" goes through magical realism because she dreams of a better life for herself and makes the decision to escape from her harsh home conditions. On the other hand, "The Werewolf" exhibits fantastical moments when the reader realizes that when the protagonist cut off the hand of the beast, it was actually her grandmother's hand.

The story of Goldilocks has to do with a little girl breaking into a family of bears' house, while Little Red Riding Hood centers on a little girl going to her grandmother's house to later discover there is a wolf impersonating as her grandma. However, the girls' decisions are the reason the stories are even famous. Goldilocks and Red Riding Hood made different decisions that affected the plot of both stories. If Little Red Riding Hood had never gone to her grandmother's house, she would never have known there was a wolf in disguise. The same concept applies to Goldilocks. If she had never wandered into the bears' home or if she had completed her crimes quicker, the story would be completely different. Red Riding Hood's decisions are cautious and thoughtful, unlike those of Goldilocks. She was being generous by giving her grandmother some fresh cakes that she made while Goldilocks broke into a home, ate their food, and broke their furniture. Goldilocks ventures into the woods without her parent's permission while Red Riding Hood's parents knew her whereabouts.

  • 21. Red Riding Hood Story In Grimm's Ninja Red Riding Hood From a purely superficial standpoint, Ninja Red Riding Hood is, from the beginning, a much different Little Red Riding Hood story than we are used to, in the sense that it is from the wolf's perspective and the story begins and ends with him, as well as the fact that it is in a reimagined setting. It is also different because in the end, the protagonist faces the wolf head–on as equals, and is able to convince the wolf to abandon his "bad" instinct–driven ways, and find his inner peace. However, the major textual plot points that are present in Grimm's "Little Red Cap", such as the wolf distracting Red in the woods, him racing to grandmother's house to trick and eat her, and the ever famous "Granny, what big ears you have" lines are all still there, though paraphrased to fit the slightly sarcastic theme of the book. This book could be interpreted as an alternative text to "Little Red Cap", and in fact, this is what I had initially labeled it as. The storyline has some of the main features still in–tact, as previously discussed, and it could be that the ninja component is simply a new idea that is being introduced and thrown into the mix, thus influencing the outcome of the story, which is arguably the most notable difference. However, after considering the mood, the overall message, and the implications of this book, I have determined that it is a blatantly oppositional text to the Grimm's "Little Red Cap".

Analyzing pieces of literature through the gender critics lens accentuates what the author believes to be masculine or feminine and that society and culture determines the gender responsibility of an individual. In the classic fairytale Little Red Riding Hood, the gender strategies appear through the typical fragile women of the mother and the grandmother, the heartless and clever male wolf, and the naГЇve and vulnerable girl as little red riding hood. In the classical tale of Little Red Riding Hood, Little Red Riding Hood leaves her mother to visit her grandmother, and both the women possess the feminine ...

Highlighting that the women were inferior to him, the wolf plans to "be clever about this that the [he] can make a good meal out of the two of them" (Hyman 8). He gradually formulates a strategy to hoodwink the adolescent into entrusting him. By doing this, he reveals that the author subconsciously believes men to be of such evasiveness. He seems gentle and kind, but his true character lies under the mask of kindness. The gentle wolves become the most dangerous in these varieties of narratives, because they shadow the infantile, naГЇve girls, and swindle them into trusting them before they commence to do the unthinkable act of deceiving the women (Bettelheim 168). The wolf's superior nature as a male character provides a character foil for the lady–like traits of Little Red Riding Hood as he overpowers her with his male authority and intelligence. As Little Red Riding Hood blindly follows the wolf's commands and becomes the weaker of the two characters, she proves the idea that being raised in a society where the women continue to allow themselves to be suppressed into the kitchen and household chores affects the gender role that she takes on herself.

It seems too dark to just be a lesson about listening to your parents. Upon reading it again at the age of seventeen, however, I can finally see other possible meanings to the classic tale. The one that screamed out at me the most: rape. Although it may seem silly, I think the story alludes to rape, instead replacing it with 'eat'.

  • 25. Summary Of The Red Riding Hood Thesis statement: Although Angela Carter's the company of wolves contains noticeable resemblances with its older variant, Charles Perrault's little red riding hood, Carter prefers to reveal the relationship dynamics between men and women through subverting the traditional tale of a young naive girl who is tricked by the cunning big bad wolf. Instead, presenting the heroine's true ambition, in which she wants to governor her own incarceration into damnation. In several instances of metaphors, foreshadowing, and ironic devices, she is revealed to be antagonist rather than the protagonist of Carter's story, therefore reshaping the classical notion of little red riding hood into a feminist retelling of a girl attempting to gain control of their own narrative. Main point #1: While Perrault presents a cautionary tale on the predators that target little, innocent naive girls; Carter restructures the identities of the wolf and the girl, through using of metaphors that capture the uncertain nature of man's beastliness and humanity and women's virginity and sexuality. Example: –Carter repeats this phrase throughout the story, " the wolf is carnivore incarnate." a metaphor for the man's dual nature. On one hand, he is a beastly predator who preys on vulnerability and on the other hand, his humanity shows through, hence presenting a nice, affable man. –When Carter states, " she is an unbroken egg; she is a sealed vessel; she has her magic space the entrance to which is shut ...

  • 26. Symbolism In Red Riding Hood It Begins With a Full Moon. The full moon appears, big and bright, suddenly, the whole town is running, locking doors, and sealing windows. Everyone awaits quietly in dark rooms, for the night to pass by quickly. And they hear it, a scream, someone forgot to lock their door, and then nothing. Everyone will wait for the next day when they will find a dirty naked body sleeping on the streets, blood still on his cheeks, the man is the only thing left when the werewolf is gone. This is a similar scenario that appears in most of the stories that involve werewolves as monsters. In the 2013 movie adaptation of Red Riding Hood, the transformation of the man into a werewolf is visible in the movie, and it is shown how with a full moon he is losing control to his instincts. The werewolf represents the human fear of giving in to the darkest desires that live inside all of them, the inner struggle of doing what it's not socially accepted and figuring out how to avoid it, and becoming a voluntary or involuntary monster, and how easy it is to control the conversion. In the first place the symbols in the movie Red Riding Hood, come from a new adaptation of the original story, which dates as far as 700 hundred years.

One of the symbols that periodically pops up in many of the "Little Red Riding Hood" tales is the red cap that Little Red wears. The cap is given to her by her grandmother, which symbolizes a deeper message in the retellings.

Carter states, "She closed the window on the wolves' threnody and took off her scarlet shawl, the color of poppies, the color of sacrifices, the color of her menses, and since her fear did her no good, she ceased to be afraid. What shall I do with my shawl? Throw it on the fire, dear one. You won't need it again" (649). Here Little Red Riding Hood burns her shawl, which represent her sexuality.

Versions such as the one of main focus in this analysis have aspects of the modern era that we live in today incorporated into their hidden messages.

The version that will be analyzed in this essay is a poem by Roald Dahl from his collection of Revolting Rhymes. This particular version, like David McPhail's "Little Red Riding Hood", is a bowdlerized version of the tale, with a twist. (Maaren, Bowdlerism). This version that is aimed at children, though seems far too familiar at first, ends with an unexpected change to the fairytale. The poem begins with a reversal in roles, with the Wolf being in the spotlight, and Little Red Riding Hood nowhere to be mentioned. In the original tale, one is anxiously waiting for the wolf to make his appearance, yet in this poem the wait is for Little Red Riding Hood.

Red Riding hood continues to be portrayed in this way even in the different ways this story has been rewritten from Perrault to Angela Carter's "The Company of Wolves" which ends with her version of Red Riding Hood and the wolf together in the end. Her lack of innocence even starts from the beginning in making her hood red which is a color that is sexualized. This red color also represents menstruation which is not a child concern but an adolescent concern as a young woman enters adulthood. This creates this argument that these stories are showing how Red Riding Hood is not the ideal innocent child but rather a sexualized icon that children should not become. Firstly, Perrault shows how Red Riding Hood may not be the innocent victim we make her out to be in the way... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... This is further evidence Red Riding Hood is not an innocent child.

And unfortunately, it is these gentle wolves who are the most dangerous ones of all." (Perrault). This is also arguably referencing Red Riding Hood as a young woman proving she is not an innocent child. This also refers to her as attractive which we typically do not associated with children.

  • 35. Red Riding Hood Analysis Red Hooded Deception Prologues are often an author's way of introducing important information or topics needed to understand the body of writing on a deeper level or as a way to direct the reader to a certain line of thought or specific interpretation of the writing. Anne Sexton writes a prologue for every single one of her poems in her compilation of fairytale poetry throughout Transformations. She gives the reader so many hints throughout her prologues on what the reader should pay attention to. In "Red Riding Hood", Sexton draw immense attention to the issues of deception in real life though the importance she places on these issues in her poem. She calls out not only the frequency of deception in life but she calls attention specifically to the deception of a mother's security. "Many are the deceivers" this is the first line setting the stage for the little red riding hood tale (Sexton 73). Sexton immediately draws the reader's attention to the idea of deception. She sets the tone right at the beginning of the poem, not only is "Red Riding Hood" a dark and foreboding story as opposed to the light and happy fairytale its often remembered as, but deception waits at every turn. In fact, throughout the entire work Sexton continues to flaunt the deception pictured in this childhood masterpiece. Periodically she crafted lines that blatantly spell out for the reader what needs to be focused on by dropping lines that directly call out dishonesty, "And this too was a deception– nothing new haunts a new house" (Sexton 75). After finishing the prolog, the first line of the actual story of red riding hood restates the deceptive tone of Anne Sexton's work, "Long ago there was a strange deception..." (Sexton 76). She also calls outright attention to dishonesty multiple times throughout the rest of the actual tale with lines like, "A deceptive fellow" and "Many a deception ends on such a note" (Sexton 77, 78). With these direct calls towards the deception in this fairytale, Sexton gives us insight into what lens she wishes the reader to see the world from.
