Research Paper On Little Red Riding Hood

     The stories ?Little Red Riding Hood,? by Charles Perrault, and ?Little Red Cap,? by the Brothers Grimm, are similar and different. Moreover, both stories differ from the American version. The stories have a similar moral at the end, each with a slight twist. This story, in each of its translations, is representative of a girl?s loss of innocence, her move from childhood or adolescence into adulthood. The way women are treated within each story is different. Little Red in the French version was eaten; whereas in the German version, she is rescued by the woodsman, and this further emphasizes the cultural differences.

Little red riding hood is about a girl on a trip to her sick grandmother’s house but she had met a wolf on her way there. There are many different versions of this story, the Perrault version and Grimm version. There was also a parody of Little Red Riding Hood called Hoodwinked!. In all of the stories they all start with a mother giving something to give to her daughter. For her daughter to travel into the forest to give her grandmother what her mother had made.

"Riding The Red"at first glance is a simple narrative with a grandmother telling a story about a wolf, but with further analyzation the two themes of first love and innocent become very clear. The author’s repetition of certain words like blood and dance directs your attention to a deeper meaning hinting and connections to the "Little Red Riding Hood" which reflects back to the underlining message of what happens when a girl grows up.

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

Did you really have a good childhood if you never heard of the Big Bad Wolf. The Big Bad Wolf in both stories and most movies is the villain and this will be proven by what research has to say about him in the stories Little Red Riding Hood and The wolf and the seven kids. Usually in movies the wolf is always bad and this will also be proven by the movie Beauty and The Beast.

Petite Rouge Riding Hood version by Mike Artell includes characters that are animals. What would be humans in the original Little Red Riding Hood, are ducks in this version, with a mother, daughter, grandmother, and the villain, instead of the evil wolf, is now a gator. The girl, Petite Rouge Riding Hood, has a companion cat. This version takes places near and on the swamp. The condiments needed to take to the grandmother to help with her flu are gumbo and boudin. The grandmother is not eaten in this version; the

In its most popular iterations, Little Red Riding Hood is less of a fairy tale and more of a cautionary tale, warning young women against transgression lest they fall prey to “wolves,” or men who will consume them. Critic Maria Tartar characterizes the Grimms and Perrault iterations of the tale as “intent on sending a moral message” wherein there is a “frightening punishment for a relatively minor infraction” (6-7). She continues to claim that this these punishments are caused by “a heroine’s…behavioral flaws,” denoting that in this framework, a young woman’s own inability to adhere to a stricture of guidelines is the imminent cause of her suffering (6). In her poem Little Red Riding Hood, Olga Brumas makes use of the didactic, moralizing undertones

A Woman’s Responsibility: Innocence and Sex in Perrault’s “Little Red Riding Hood” In a time when travelling the woods would have been both commonplace and necessary, it would have been pertinent to teach children about all the dangers and life-threatening situations they might face. In Perrault’s “Little Red Riding Hood,” Little Red’s innocence and naivety allow her to fall victim to the wolf. This innocence is a major theme in Perrault’s story.

A story commonly spread through word of mouth, Charles Perrault wrote an early rendition of Little Red Riding Hood in 1697. Between the late 17th century and today, there have been a few changes in societal norms, customs, and understandings of social values. To summarize, laws based on religion have given way to laws based on science…in turn, scientists have taken their newfound social power and discovered ways to destroy all life on Earth…following that, humans have practiced leaving the planet, preparing for the inevitable day when our self-created nuclear holocaust gives us no other choice…and lastly, various oppressed social groups, recognizing

In her transformation of the well-known fable "Little Red Riding Hood," Angela Carter plays upon the reader's familiarity. By echoing elements of the allegory intended to scare and thus caution young girls, she evokes preconceptions and stereotypes about gender roles. In the traditional tale, Red sticks to "the path," but needs to be rescued from the threatening wolf by a hunter or "woodsman." Carter retells the story with a modern perspective on women. By using fantasy metaphorically and hyperbolically, she can poignantly convey her unorthodox and underlying messages.

Little Red Riding Hood tells a story of a young and innocent girl, who was sent to look after her grandmother by her mother, however, she was distracted by the wolf and fell into the wolf’s trap, as a result, both her and her grandmother was eaten by the wolf. The story ends in a way which the readers may not anticipated, because most readers expect fairy tales to have a happy ending. In the beginning of the story, Charles Perrault created this character little red riding hood as an extremely lovable figure, therefore, some readers might wonder why such an innocent figure was eaten by a wolf, and the reasons Charles Perrault made this tragedy happen.

Furthermore, in Red Riding Hood she was wearing red which is the colour of blood as she was a virgin she became the prey of the wolf. The colour red attracts unnecessary attention when she was going through the forest. This tells us how naïve young girls can be and not being aware of her surroundings. She was born in a village so comparing to the children in the cities she is more

Perrault did, however, append a short poem with a moral in it. The moral warns young women to beware the treacheries of men. The sources of Perrault's version are a matter of dispute, but his intended audience is not in dispute. His tales were aimed at genteel French society, not children. It is ironic therefore, that Perrault's tales, and especially "Little Red," are now considered fairy tales for children. Perrault's tale has been published both with and without the moralistic poem, but both versions are often considered inappropriate for children. Some people claim that the sudden ending -- with the eating of Red -- terrifies children. Others, of course, point to the inappropriateness of the poem's lesson in virginity for four and five-year-olds.
