Compare And Contrast Grimm And Little Red Riding Hood

Little Red Riding Hood is a story of a little girl who wen to visit her grandmother because she was sick. The little girl wanted to give her grandmother some cupcakes and a soup. In her way to her grandmother she meet a wolf, the wolf told the little girl he wanted to go visit her grandmother too. The wolf took a short cut to get to the grandmother house, while the girl took the longer. There is a lot different version of the story in which the wolf eats the grandmother and the little girl. There is another version in which the wolf gets killed. In my opinion all this version of the story were created with the purpose of preventing children, in this case mostly prevent young girls to talk to strangers. Showing that they should not trust strangers

"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.

For centuries, people have heard of and passed down the well-known story about Little Red Riding Hood. The original version, written by Charles Perrault, has been told and passed down from generation to generation. Over the years, however, Perrault’s version has been taken by hundreds of other writers and has faced a number of different twists and turns, occasionally facing a whole new plot and outlook. For example, after reading Perrault’s version and “The Company of Wolves” by Angela Carter, the reader is able to conclude that even though both stories are different, they contain some forms of similarities as well.

Comparing Little Red Riding Hood folktales is a multi tasks operation, which includes many elaborations on the many aspects of the story. Setting, plot, character origin, and motif are the few I chose to elaborate solely on. Although the versions vary, they all have the motif trickery, the characters all include some sort of villain with a heroin, the plot concludes all in the final destruction or cease of the villain to be, and, the setting and origins of the versions vary the most to where they are not comparable but only contrastable, if one can say that origins and settings are contrastable.

Firstly, the “Little Red Riding Hood” has had many versions out in public. Only one can be the foundation of the whole tale. Each stories has its own imagination to the idea of the plot from different authors. Such as Charles Perrault to Grimm’s brothers to Andrew Lang. It proposed

Charles Perrault’s version and Brothers Grimm version both tales begin by describing their protagonist: “a sweet little girl wearing a red hood”, the girl is on her way through the woods to deliver food to her ill grandmother. In the Grimm version, the girl had gotten the order from her mother not to abandon from the track, which is not the case in Perrault’s tale, but I like Perrault’s version because the story was clearly and focus than Grimm version. When I read Perrault version, I see more secrete in the beginning, which revels in the end. Like, the wolf, he know exactly what to do in order to get food, he made the girl off the track so he can go to grandmother house first. “She goes deep into the woods and quickly gets distracted by its

The Brother's Grimm and 'The Woodsman's First Tale' versions of 'Little Red Riding Hood' differ many ways in telling, but, deep down, they have similar morals. The Brother's Grimm 'Little Red Riding Hood' is very straightforward. A mother sends her daughter off to her grandmother's house with wine and other treats. Little Red Riding Hood's mother warns her to stay on the path. On the way to her grandmother's, Little Red Riding Hood strays off the path and finds herself face to face with a wolf.

Female, fairy tale characters are often introduced as vulnerable and submissive: per the "Little" in the title "Little Red Riding Hood", or the naivety of Snow White eating an apple from a stranger in the woods. These defining traits, along with the traditional expectation, that women are "scientifically and historically" meant to run the household (Goucher 579), are all seen throughout a vast array of fairy tales. "The Gunnywolf", retold and illustrated by Antoinette Delaney in 1988, is a fairy tale about a young girl who ventures outside of her home, into the woods and encounters the Gunnywolf, a misunderstood creature who is anything but dangerous. "The Gunnywolf", establishes the traditional expectation that a female shall not leave

Reading the childhood stories Little Red Riding Hood and Goldilocks and the Three Bears, have you ever thought why did the main characters make the decisions that they chose? Little Red Riding Hood and Goldilocks and the Three Bears both were face to face with animals, but in Goldilocks and the Three Bears, Goldilocks intruded the bears home and in Little Red Riding Hood, the wolf intruded Granny’s home. While little Red Riding Hood and Goldilocks and the Three Bears are both fairytales that we grew up reading, there are many differences between the two which makes each one unique. The decisions, main characters’ traits, and the theme show many similarities, yet many differences as well.

Many fairy tales were created to serve a purpose, to tell not only a story, but to also get a message across to an audience. Sometimes the message may be told for humor, but can also be told for another serious purpose. For example, Little Red Riding Hood has several versions but the message still stays the same. In all versions, there is the theme of love and how even monsters crave it, there’s also the idea the struggle of dominance between sexes.

When she warns her of the path, she tells Red “Behave yourself on the way, and do not leave the path, or you might fall and break the glass, and then there will be nothing for your grandmother.”. She doesn’t tell her that she can get seriously injured and that there is evil in the woods. So, in result, when Red is on her way to her grandmother's house, she meets the wolf and since she does not know what a wicked animal he is, she is not afraid of him. The wolf convinces her to stray off the path to pick flowers, and since she is only a girl, she loves the idea. When she finally arrives at her grandmother's house, she can sense that something is off and she even says “Oh, my God, why am I so afraid? I usually like it at grandmother's." Nevertheless, she is not aware of the evil and is a little girl, so she ventures in like she normally would. She doesn’t stand a chance when the wolf eats her up, and would not have been able to defend herself. Later, after the huntsmen cuts Red and her grandmother out, Red thinks quickly and gathers large stones and wills the wolf's stomach with them so that he will not be able to attack or run away. She is learning how to be self-sufficient because she had almost gotten

Little Red was noticing how different her grandmother looked and the wolf was drooling over the smell of the goodies in the basket. Little Red Riding hood said, “My, oh, my, Grandma, What big white teeth you have.” Before he could think he said all the better to EAT you with and jumped out of bed and chased Little Red and her goodie basket. When they reached the door there stood grandmother and Mr. Whittle coming after the wolf. Little Red Riding Hood rand into the safety of her grandmother arms, While Mr. Whittle ran after the wolf with his ax swinging in the

While I understand parental concerns regarding the “gruesome” content in some of the fairy tales, I believe that there are more reasons than not for parents to continue reading these fairy tales to their children: fairy tales teach kids different ways of handling different things; fairy tales build emotional flexibility in kids (this can help make them realize that even in the safest environment, bad things can happen - this also helps build immunity to sensitivity); fairy tales teach kids the elements of literature (setting, characters, etc); fairy tales help evolve children’s imagination; and most importantly, they teach kids important lessons. Parents might still think that some fairy tales are just too scary to read to their kids. However, parents must consider two things: 1) their children’s age and their level of development; your one/two/three year old would most likely not understand what was happening. 2) Fairy tales don’t have the rule of having to be read at night (which is when most of them are being read to children). If you think your child would lose sleep, then read the fairy tale some time during the day; your child would most probably forget all about it by his or her bedtime.

The story starts with Red traveling to her grandmother’s house where she is attacked by a wolf along the way. The wolf believes that Red has stolen the grandmother’s recipes, however Red does not see it that way. Red believes that the wolf is trying to trick her so that he can eat her, but that is not the case as we find out later. Meanwhile, the grandmother is living a dangerous life and trying to escape from people who are hired to kill her. Then, a hunter with an axe accidentally crashes into the house right before Red and her

The fairy tales we all read when we were young seemed so innocent but a second look at a older age they turned out to be filled with some shocking details that we all missed. The Little Red Riding Hood tale is one of the earliest ones that I was told as a child and it was something that taught not only me but many others. As I re-read that fairy tale there were many things that shocked me because I was not aware of it before then. In the story Riding Hood’s mother ask her to take food and some other things to her grandmother who lives in the next village over. In this story it does not specify how old riding hood is but I can only assume that she is at a young age because of the name that she goes by which is Little Red Riding Hood. At this point I was shocked because why in the world would any good mother send her young daughter all alone to her grandmother's house in the next village over with the only path leading that way is through a thick dense forest. This is at very beginning of the story and already there was something that was a little
