Comparing Little Red Riding Hood And Also The Three Little Pigs

The view point of an author can be determined easily by comparing works of the same basic plots and characters. Also by contrasting the same two works is equally as important. “Little Red Riding Hood'; by Charles Perrault and Angela Carter’s “The Company of Wolves'; are perfect examples. The writer’s purpose, characterization, and readability shows one of many ways of pinpointing the author’s bias.

One story that can be directly compared across cultures is The Three Little Pigs, originating in England, where it was first printed in the 1840s, but the story dates back much further. In the original English version, the first two little pigs are devoured by the big bad wolf, who is finally outwitted by the last pig who lures the wolf down the chimney into a pot of boiling water. The Japanese version, however, ends with the same fate for the wolf, but differs greatly in how the wolf reaches that fate. Unlike the English version where the third pig outwits the wolf on his own, the Japanese version tells of how the first two pigs escaped their flimsy homes and worked together with the third little pig to defeat the wolf.

What do the childhood stories,Red Riding Hood, and Goldilocks and the three bears,what do they have in common or what are the differences of the two? The two stories have less in common than they do different of each other. Both of these stories have a animal as the enemy and problem in the stories.

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.

A point of view is a position in which the story is being told, but did you know that there is two point of views in The Three Little Pigs and The True Story of the Three Little pigs? The two stories have views changed by how the author tells them. In the story of the pigs it’s in third person, but in the wolf’s view he just wants sugar and see’s them as a snack so it’s first person. The story of “The Three Little Pigs” and “The True story of the Three Little pigs” have different point of views that help the readers understanding of the wolf.

Compare and Contrast the ways in which modern authors have re-imagined traditional narratives for their own purposes.

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.

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.

Perrault teaches little girls that if a man does something to them, it is their fault for not being “on Guard” (344). He reinforces this blame and guilt by not punishing the wolf at the end. In the newer versions, the wolf is usually killed or injured because

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.

Once upon a time, there lived a girl named Little Red Cap. Everyone believed that she was a sweet and innocent girl, but did someone else lay beneath her exterior? In the Brothers Grimm version of the story, Little Red Cap takes on the persona of childlike innocence. In the animated movie Hoodwinked!, she is seen as a young girl who is smart, independent, and named Red. There are numerous fairy tales that have been told throughout the course of history. Many of the tales remain independent and true to the original version, and then there are those that have been altered in many different ways. “Little Red Cap” has been revised into the version of “Little Red Riding Hood,” which many of us are familiar with, to the different and modern film version of Hoodwinked!. These stories are updated to appeal to modern generations, cultures and societal views. Consequently, they do pose many similarities, but their differences make each work unique in their own way.

The story of the “Three Little Pigs” has been around for a very long time. Parents have been telling their children this tale for generations. This story tells the narrative of three pigs, who construct their homes of three different materials, one straw, one wood and one brick. Then, comes along a Big Bad Wolf, who blows down two of the three homes and then focuses on tricking the final pig into coming out of his house so that he too, can be eaten. In this story, the third little pig, who made his home of brick, was the most admirable because he was clever, hard-working and courageous.

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
