Essay About Little Rose Hood

In the story of “Little Red Riding Hood and the Wolf”, Roald Dahl interprets the little girl as a gun-wielding murderer. While in most of the other interpretations of this story we’ve read this semester, she seemingly is just a young and naive little girl. When she walks into grandmothers house she has no idea that her grandmother has already been eaten, and soon enough finds out that the wolf has scheduled her to be next on his list. The pistol that Little Red Riding hood secretly wields ends up telling him otherwise. For this reason it can be argued that Little Red Riding Hood is the antagonist of this story, not the wolf. There are several facts that support this statement, and they are described as follows.

Later on, we are introduced to the wolf, who represents men as a threat to women. The wolf symbolizes a man, who can be a lover, seducer or sexual predator. When Little Red Riding Hood meets the wolf, he wants to eat her but is too afraid to do so in public, for sometimes there are woodcutters watching. He instead approaches the young girl with the intention of seducing her, and she “naively” tells him exactly where she’s going. He then suggests for her to pick some flowers, which she of course does. Not only does she stop to talk to the wolf, but she completely forgets about her sick grandmother as well as her promise to her mother, in order to satisfy her own desires. “Little Red Cap had run after flowers, and did not continue on her way to grandmother's until she had gathered all that she could carry” ( ). Little Red Riding Hood clearly demonstrates the behaviour of an Id driven personality. She is bound up

Little Red Riding Hood is responsible for her action and to do what she was told by her mother to take the cakes to grandma house.

Little red also had to leave the danger in her book if she didn't it wouldn't end well for her so then yet again she ran or she screams and runs for getting help for the ranger that had warned her from the wolf and the strangers.

Introduction In this essay, the use of a resonant motif in a number of manifestations will be discussed. The particular resonant motif is restoration from danger posed by a villain. This theme has been used in a number of literary works ranging from religious stories of ancient times; such as the story of Jonah and the Whale to folk tales like Little Red Riding Hood and to contemporary popular culture like movies and films.

The wolf easily distracts her, showing, once again, her naivety and innocence. After the wolf shows up and eats the grandmother, Little Red arrives. Her mother instructed her not to look in all the corners when she arrived, and so, even though she was scared, she did what she was told, and the wolf swallowed Little Red and falls asleep. A wandering woodsman hears the snoring and enters the house to see what is wrong. He discovers the wolf and, instead of shooting it, cuts it open and gets Little Red and her grandmother unharmed out of the wolf. He sends Little Red off to get big stones, which he uses to fill the wolf?s belly. The wolf wakes up and attempts to run away, but the stones are too heavy, and he dies. After this experience, Little Red learned that she needed to heed her mother?s warnings, which shows that she has grown through her experiences with the wolf, and knows to listen to her mother. The story continues with another wolf coming across Little Red on her way to her grandmother?s house, but, having learned from the first wolf, Little Red is able to outsmart and kill him.
