Little Red Riding Hood Vs Goldilocks

We all make decisions, but are they the right ones? Goldilocks and Little Red Riding Hood both made some risky and smart decisions. Goldilocks made her decisions based on what she wanted at the time. Little Red Riding Hood made her decisions thinking about her grandma. Both fairy tales deal with little girls who wander into the Forrest and encounter something they weren't expecting. While these stories sound more different then they do the same, both girls learn a very important life lesson.

‘’Little Red Riding Hood’’and ‘’Goldilocks and the Three Bears’’ are great childhood stories most people are familiar with. How are the characters decisions different and alike?

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.

The adaptations and interpretations of “Red Riding Hood” vary considerably, showing a plethora of reformations in time. Versions such as the one of main focus in this analysis have aspects of the modern era that we live in today incorporated into their hidden messages.

The version that will be analyzed in this essay is a poem by Roald Dahl from his collection of Revolting Rhymes. This particular version, like David McPhail’s “Little Red Riding Hood”, is a bowdlerized version of the tale, with a twist. (Maaren, Bowdlerism).

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

For my essay I have chosen the following stories: Little Red Riding Hood and The Wolf and Also The Three Little Pigs. In the story grandmamma was vulnerable and scared. Grandma opened the door against her better judgement. Grandma was weak and tough. She reminds me of my own grandma very kind against Red on judgement at times. She knew his grin was ill willed and allowed her to be eaten. The afraid kind lady should have never let her guard down. I can also remember a situation when my grandma who was put in the same position with one of our neighbors. Our neighbor sold my grandma some candy, a orange and a curling irons for twenty dollars. I made the neighbor give her back the twenty dollars. The neighbor for instance was the wolf and I would

Red takes action, goes against the social fairy tale norms. There are no huntsmen in the movie, rather instead, she takes in protection and attacks the wolf herself, starting off with mace. The little girl is portrayed to be aggressive than passive, sassy, has an attitude, and is a brat. Other than being passive, Red is considered to be smart. She is aware of the conflicts surrounding her and not to trust strangers, especially the big bad wolf that is following her. Alike being her grandmother, Red too is an adventurous female. For Red seeks for an adventure in her life, wanting to live outside of the woods and explore the world away from the safe path. During Hoodwink, Red shows a daring unlike what Grimm and other fairy tales have shown. Red goes on adventure before entering into Granny’s house by taking various activities a like skydiving. Hence, throughout history to modern day, contemporary tales of Little Red Cap has adapted from its traditional to anti-traditional role in women. Modern fairy tales involves female characters to take a hold of action instead of waiting for a male

Reading fairy tales or seeing them represented has become part of an everyday routine for children. As Baker-Sperry states, “Through interaction that occurs within everyday routines (Corsaro 1997), children are able to learn the rules of the social group in which they are a part” (Baker-Sperry 717-718). For example, through Red Riding Hood, children learn to listen to their parents and to be wary of strangers. Some of these messages are harmful though; not all girls have to be naive and weak while boys are predacious wolves. Not everyone has to play the role that society assigns them.

Throughout history, women have been portrayed in a variety of ways; by following a popular story that has been rewritten several times over the years, we can see this progression. “Little Red Riding Hood” was first written in 1697, and since then has been in a constant state of evolution and change (Elmore).

If she had never wandered into the bears’ home or if she had completed her crimes quicker, the story would be completely different.
