A lot of popular fairy tales use a witch or ogre as an opponent or antagonist. Why is a wolf used in this case? The 20th century brought another interpretation of this (probably) most-interpreted fairy tale of all. Feminists see a clear case of rape in the story of the Little Red Riding Hood. The aggressive and active male is preying on passive heroine and her granny. He is, in the end, defeated by another aggressive and active male. Case closed. You really took this story to levels I had never considered, even as a horny teenager. Red Riding Hood is a favorite in the US. I recently saw a movie titled Red Riding Hood that had the wolf as a werewolf. That is pretty much how I always saw the wolf since my teenage years. Great lens. I have a couple of Squidoo friends who live in Slovinia, and would like to be able to count you as a friend also. I hope to see you around Tolovaj.

And sure enough the wolf, though but for the wood- cutters he would surely have eaten little Red Riding-Hood, only stopped and asked her politely where she was going. This was fascinating. I always thought of red riding hood as a cautionary tale so the not so happy ending makes more sense to me. What was in Red Riding Hood's basket? Charles Perrault opted for a cake and butter, while the Brothers Grimm gave her some cakes and a bottle of wine. So let's take a look at Perrault's Little Red Riding Hood (Le Petit Chaperon Rouge)! What Is Different in Perrault's Version? So little Red Riding-Hood pulled the bobbin, the latch went up, and there, she thought, was her grandmother in the bed; for the cottage was so dark one could not see well. Besides, the crafty wolf turned his face to the wall at first. And he made his voice as soft, as soft as he could, when he said:An excellent analysis Tolovaj, hope it's okay but i've linked to it for my ballad about the story. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1977NhEonVw Once upon a time, there was a little girl. Her grandmother gave her a red riding hood, and the girl loved it so much she wore it all the time—so everybody started to call her Little Red Riding Hood. NEW! Not only is Little Red Riding Hood one of the all-time favourite fairy stories - with children delighting in the part of the story when the wolf disguises himself as Little Red Riding Hood's grandmother - but it is also a useful way to introduce the concept of "stranger danger" to the kids. Not so very far if you go by the straight road," replied little Red Riding-Hood. "You only have to pass the mill and the first cottage on the right is Grannie's; but I am going by the wood path because there are such a lot of nuts and flowers and butterflies."

These are the links for other translations by different authors - The Brothers Grimm and Charles Perrault! Hi, Merie, sorry for my late response, I was busy in 'real' life. I am the author. How can I help you? But folklorists have some second thoughts on the theory of absent fathers too. At least, we can easily find older versions of Red Riding Hood with a present father and without a huntsman. In these versions, father kills the beast, but there is one more important difference . . . An Allegory of Resurrection, Death, and Rebirth Once upon a time there was a little girl who was called little Red Riding-Hood, because she was quite small and because she always wore a red cloak with a big red hood to it, which her grandmother had made for her.Well, this is not the only difference! I will present just a few—some may be negligible at first sight, but if we take a few moments to think them over, we'll notice that every single detail can make a huge difference. Compare Perrault's and Grimm's Red Cap The role of the father is played by the huntsman. He saved the girls, defeated the beast, and did what every good father would do. He protects and serves. My dear, put on your red cloak with the hood to it, and take this cake and this pot of butter to your Grannie, and ask how she is, for I hear she is ailing."
