The story of Little Red Riding Hood and Goldilocks are very different but similar in some ways. The story of Goldilocks has to do with a little girl breaking into a family of bears’ house, while Little Red Riding Hood centers on a little girl going to her grandmother’s house to later discover there is a wolf impersonating as her grandma. However, the girls’ decisions are the reason the stories are even famous. Goldilocks and Red Riding Hood made different decisions that affected the plot of both stories. If Little Red Riding Hood had never gone to her grandmother’s house, she would never have known there was a wolf in disguise. The same concept applies to Goldilocks. If she had never wandered into the bears’ home or if she had completed her crimes quicker, the story would be completely different. Red Riding Hood’s decisions are cautious and thoughtful, unlike those of Goldilocks. She was being generous by giving her grandmother some fresh cakes that she made while Goldilocks broke into a home, ate their food, and broke their furniture. Goldilocks ventures into the woods without her parent’s permission while Red Riding Hood’s parents knew her whereabouts. Goldilocks simply doesn’t care about how others feel, and she makes herself the first priority over everything and everyone else. Both of the children made brave decisions. They both decide …show more content…
Both involve two young girls walking in the woods. However, the girls make very different decisions in each story. While Goldilocks makes irresponsible decisions, she is never really in danger. Red Riding Hood makes responsible decisions, but she finds herself in serious danger with the wicked wolf. Goldilocks just runs away at the end of the story while Red Riding Hood is rescued by the woodcutter from a certain death. The decisions of both girls determine the plot of each
These are just two examples out of many. The versions of fairy tales by Grimm and Disney are always similar in nature and moral. The differences in the details of the story range from minute to highly significant. The punishments placed upon the villains are always
In both stories Cinderella’s mother died while she was still young, and her father re-married a vile woman with two equally wretched daughters who abused Cinderella. Further similarities include the event held by the King to find a bride for his son, the Prince and Cinderella receiving beautiful clothes and shoes to wear to the festivities. Also, in both stories the prince chose Cinderella without hesitation and her identity was not discovered by other party goers. A slipper was left behind in each story as well, which remained how the prince eventually discovered the mystery princess to be Cinderella so he could take her as his bride after many failed to make the fit.
There are certain similarities in two variants of the story. Main characters are the same and basic plot is repeated in two versions with slight differences. Cinderella is a classical story, which exists, in many different cultures and countries. It reflects the story of poor girls who suffers different privations but finds the way out from different situations and becomes happy. The story about Cinderella is a story of hope and many people are fond of this story. It does not lose its popularity with the flow of time and light changes in the plot and depiction of the characters only reflect cultural and historical differences. The story of Cinderella passes
The other two tales being analyzed are The Algonquin Cinderella and Tam and Cam. These tales have more differences than similarities. Their similarity is within the magic. The magic is based off of the ideals of the time. In The Algonquin Cinderella, the magical aspect about it is her wonderment and innocence. In Tam and Cam it is within her religion, Buddhism. They are similar because they are social strengths based on the time and culture.
Why did a poor black man lose a court case because he’s black? Why are girls told they have to sit and be pretty? Why does it matter if you are wealthy or poor? We are all people, aren’t we? The answer is prejudice. Harper Lee gives many examples, race, class, and gender, in her fascinating book To Kill a Mockingbird. In the town of Maycomb a white man takes a case about a black man (Tom) raping a white girl, but at court, everyone knows Tom shouldn’t be found guilty. But tom is found guilty. To Kill a Mockingbird takes place during the Great Depression. Throughout To Kill a Mockingbird, prejudice is shown as a good and bad thing. Prejudice is shown through race, class, and gender.
When I was younger my two most favorite fairy tales were The Little Red Riding Hood and Beauty and the Beast. I would love reading about how little red riding hood had to walk through the dangerous woods to get to her grandmother’s house only to find out that she’s not who she says she is or how Belle from Beauty and the Beast had to stay prisoner at the Beast’s castle in order to save her father. But, what would happen if you combined both of the stories to create one? What if not only having to worry about the big bad wolf eating Red’s grandmother but also the brother of that wolf stealing Red’s heart? Those might have been the questions the author Marissa Meyers were asking herself when she wrote her second book Scarlet.
story. She just wanted to enjoy and wasn't worried about no one else or who
In the story “Little Red Riding Hood,” little red riding hood makes a selection of choices that effect her future. In the beginning, she decides to deliver a basket of treats to her grandmother. Then later on, after a woodsman’s warning about a wolf, she decided to press on through the woods to deliver the basket of goods. At the end of the story, the very same wolf tried to eat her, she screamed for help, and then she was rescued by the woodsman. By the end of the story, you can make
Differences are in Perrault’s version he stresses the values and materialistic worries of the middle-class while Grimm’s version focus on harsh realities of life associated with the peasant culture. Also, Grimm’s version the help that Cinderella gets do not come from the fairy god-mother but the wishing tree that grows on her mother grave; stepsisters try to trick the prince by cutting off parts of their feet in order to get the slippers and not like other versions by just simply trying the shoe on. Another is the prince is alerted by two pigeons who peck out the stepsisters eyes, and also in the Grimm’s version the prince get tricked twice but spared by the birds. In which this lowers the prince’s status and he seems less heroic, and raising Cinderella’s status as a strong-willed individuals. Brothers Grimm portrays Cinderella as a headstrong orphan who becomes a heroine by standing up for herself even though it may result in punishment in which is completely different from the other versions because the prince try to find Cinderella and become the heroic person. Also, the writing style is different which completely modifies the tale.
Characters from same story can show can different character attributes than other versions of the story. For instance red riding hood and the wolf in “Little Red Riding Hood” by the Brothers Grimm differ from red riding hood and the wolf in the film Red Riding Hood directed by Catherine Hardwicke. The wolf in the movie goal is for overall power while the wolf in the story is for his greed or desires. The red riding hood in the movie wants to marry peter and be happy while the story red riding hood wants to make her grandmother better.
There are many different versions of the classic story, Cinderella. Grimm’s version was just as wonderful, but had more twisted moments than Disney’s story. Both stories are about a girl who overcomes the cruelty of her evil stepmother and stepsisters and ends up living happily ever after. Although, there are many differences, there are three that stand out. The three main differences are, the father died in disney's version but did not die in Gimms version, there was no fairy godmother in Grimm's version but there was in Disney's, and in the original version the stepsisters cut their heels and toes off so it would fit in the slipper but in the Disney version they did not.
A Comparison of Little Red Riding Hood by Charles Perrault and Little Red Cap by the Brothers Grimm
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.
Edgar Allan Poe: the name alone conjures an atmosphere of darkness and mystery. With notoriety like that, it is awful peculiar that so little is definitely known about the man: particularly with his personal on-goings, relativity or interaction with his world, and of course, his outré death. Based on the intertextual references he placed throughout several of his works, researchers and readers alike are open to interpretation and speculation of the great, and awe-inspiring Poe. For instance, his short story “Hop-Frog” sparks readers’ interest with a series of intertextual references/allusions regarding disability, such as his subtle nuanced phraseology, and carefulness in characterizing otherness amongst the members of the society detailed. Character interactions paired with Poe’s distinct phraseology are the intertextual references that allow for an interpretation of disability: what the societal perception was of disability, both physical and mental, how the disabled were received/treated socially, and why the plight of the physically ill-equipped became an underlying theme within Poe’s works. The short story “Hop-Frog,” possesses these intertextual references in order to build the case that Poe himself was somewhat inebriated by disability, both through experience and internal struggle.
Little Red Riding Hood is European folk mythology which teaches children the dangers of the unknown through the story of the titular protagonist and her encounter with ‘The Wolf’. Charles Perrault penned the first version for print in 1697 in Tales and Stories of the Past with Morals. Tales of Mother Goose; these stories are highly moralized and didactic with their roots in early French folklore. It was in this version that the significant meaning of the iconic ‘red hood’ was first noted. I will be focusing my exploration into adaptation on three of Angela Carter’s short stories from her collection The Bloody Chamber; The Werewolf, Wolf Alice and The Company of Wolves. Collectively these stories are known as ‘The Wolf Trilogy’ and henceforth
