Little Red Cap Archetype

     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.

Triumphant reward in spite of unjust punishment is a universal sentiment that transcends languages and cultures. There are thousands of folktales and fairy tales that are firmly rooted in individual cultures, yet the tale of Cinderella has been told through many centuries and throughout the far corners of the world. With thousands of versions of this classic tale in print worldwide, the tale is believed to have originated with the story of Rhodopis, a Greek slave girl who is married to an Egyptian King. The story of Rhodopis, which means rosy-cheeks, dates back to 7 BC and is attributed to a Greek geographer named Strabo. The Chinese variation of this fairy tale is named Yeh-hsien. The Chinese version is traceable to the year 860 and appears in Miscellaneous Morsels from Youyang by Duan Chengshi. Yeh-hsien is a young girl, motherless and in the control of her stepmother, who befriends a treasured fish. The jealous step-mother kills the fish, but it’s bones provide Yeh-hsien with magical powers, eventually enabling Yeh-hsien to escape the control of her step-mother for a royal life. The Story of the Black Cow which is found within the pages of Folk Tales from the Himalayas by John Murray, published in 1906, the child who is mistreated by a stepmother is a male and the role of savior is portrayed by a snake, with a cow serving as the moral of the story, faithfulness. These two versions of Cinderella carry many common threads that are

The purpose of the archetype of weapons in this text is to demonstrate that no weapon is useful unless one is skillful in its use. Near the beginning of the novel, Red Harmon, a seemingly normal air force veteran is confronted by three muggers. An incident occurs, and afterwards the local detective, Carter, narrates the security footage: “Harmon pushed it [a pistol] away,... and took aim at the last one sprinting away… He was at full speed when Harmon shot twice with his left hand. The gangster fell... ‘Three seconds!’ Carter said. ‘You killed two people, almost three, without a weapon of your own’”(McCaleb 6). This quotation indicates that Red is very competent in combat situations. The author says that ‘Harmon shot twice with his left hand,’ Thus

"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.

In the story, When the Legends Die, author Hal Borland symbolizes red throughout the story and at least once within each four sections.

What Does It Take to Be a Hero? Heroes are often portrayed as crime fighters or saviors. However, anyone who shows courage, selflessness, and virtues qualify for the hero archetype. Steven Spielberg’s 1982 film E.T. the Extra Terrestrial narrates the Taylor family's efforts to illegally house an alien long enough to escort E.T. to its Mothership for a return to the species’ planet without seeking attention from scientists or police.

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

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.

“Pan was passionate about life and disgusted by it in the same breath; he is seething hatred and undying love. He is the optimist and the pessimist, the introvert and the extrovert, reclusive and gregarious, good and evil, and light and dark. Pan never saw himself as a shepherd though he did see most people as sheep in need of a shepherd. He lived in the city but longed for the mountains. He loved lyrics and music but playing an instrument wasn’t one of Pan’s abilities, his voices that flowed so easily depending on the situation, were his pipes.”

Little Red Riding Hood is a fairytale known worldwide about an innocent little girl and a big bad wolf, or so it seems. Deeper investigation into the hidden meanings of this age-old ever changing fairy tale reveals many different tales all together; where the character’s true intentions and character traits might surprise you. Little Red Riding Hood can be traced back to the 10th century. One of the oldest documented versions originated from Italy by Italio Calvino, called The False Grandma.

Carter remains consistent with the original story of Red Riding Hood, and elaborates on the girl's nature at the time the story takes place. Red's cheeks are scarlet, indicative of her becoming a woman; in contrast, "she is an unbroken egg; she is a sealed vessel...she does not know how to shiver" (2234). A reader may think this emphasis of her sexual inexperience reveals her naivety. However, Carter's exaggeration of Red's purity may be her way of questioning readers' assumption that since Red is an innocent woman, she will be victimized. The combination of Red's sexual maturity, contrasted with hyperbolic description of her innocence, and the climax of the story contribute to this possibility.

In the Grimms' version, both Red and her grandmother are eaten by the wolf, but miraculously saved by a huntsman who, instead of shooting the wolf, cuts open its belly, apparently while the wolf is still alive, in order to release first Little Red, and then her grandmother. Red then fills the wolf's belly with stones, and as a result, justice is served and the wolf dies. The moral of the Grimm's version also differs from that of Perrault. The Grimms emphasize obedience. Before she sets out, Red is given strict and fairly detailed instructions by her mother, not to stray from the path. The wolf tempts her from the path, she sins, and thus her being eaten by the wolf is often considered by critics as the punishment for her

In the beginning, Red-Cap’s character undergoes a transition from childhood to adulthood when she initiates her initial introduction with the wolf. Red-Cap suggests that most men do not realize the amount of power women possess to be equal to men. She leaves her childhood behind from the very beginning when she approaches the edge of the woods. At the edge of the forest, Little Red Cap exclaims “It was there that I first clapped eyes on the wolf” (line 6). Duffy wants the reader to realize that, in contrast to the stereotypical approach of a male initiating a relationship, Red-Cap initiates her encounter with the wolf. In the Grimm Brothers’ and Charles Perrault’s versions, the wolf stumbles upon a young, naive girl who is walking all alone, and he takes this as an
