Soul Forest

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.

And at the top of its head was its eyes, they were fish like, unblinking and dull. The creature in front of her was disgustingly

Panic gripped the grandmother when she realized she knew who the Misfit was, and that she was going to die. Her persuasion tactics were not as cunning as Marion’s, but she tried her best to point out her importance as a lady and complimented him, “You don't look a bit like you have common blood.

The grandmother is a good person on the surface—at least the community thinks so—but she is also ‘mean.’ She forces her family to obey her; she sees them as an extension of herself; and she seizes ‘every chance to change’ reality.

She tries to adopt the Misfit, giving him well-meaning advice and false love. (21)
