The Three Stories Of Little Red Riding Hood

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.

"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.

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.

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.

The Brother's Grimm and 'The Woodsman's First Tale' versions of 'Little Red Riding Hood' differ many ways in telling, but, deep down, they have similar morals. The Brother's Grimm 'Little Red Riding Hood' is very straightforward. A mother sends her daughter off to her grandmother's house with wine and other treats. Little Red Riding Hood's mother warns her to stay on the path. On the way to her grandmother's, Little Red Riding Hood strays off the path and finds herself face to face with a wolf.

The two latter stories contain protagonists who are coming of age, not just gaining knowledge. The theme of coming of age involves a sexual awakening that pushes the character into adulthood. Red Riding Hood’s sexual awakening is obvious as she strips for the wolf confidently, and then engages in intercourse. The protagonist in “Mary’s Child” experiences this when she opens the forbidden door, similar to when Adam eats the forbidden fruit. On the other hand, the narrator in “The Outsider” is mentally innocent, but physically there are no changes.

There are many versions of the classic story of Little Red Riding Hood and they all come with different names, details and ideas. A detail in the stories that one can see is that intelligence can end up being the saving factor in a bad situation. These stories such as, “Little Red Riding Hood” by Charles Perrault, and “Little Red Cap” by Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm are all different in their own ways yet very much similar to one another in the ideas and thoughts that they produce from us as the readers. One main ideal that one might believe the authors of these stories try to convey to us might be the importance of intelligence in these stories when it comes to listening to our parents, talking to strangers, and

There are many similarities and differences between the Grimm fairy tales and their Disney proceeds. The Grimm has its violence and gore while the Disney has its happy and cheerful feeling. The Grimm fairy tale of the little red riding hood is on the gruesome side of it. In the Grimm Little Red Riding Hood red’s grandma is very sick and old and red has to take her a bottle of wine and a piece of cake.

Reading the childhood stories Little Red Riding Hood and Goldilocks and the Three Bears, have you ever thought why did the main characters make the decisions that they chose?

Red Riding Hood (RHH) is arguably one of the most famous fairy-tales. Told throughout Europe, this tale is folklore -a tradition perpetrated orally, representing a shared culture or way of life for a group or population – at its finest. Fairy-tales are harder to define –the most commonly accepted being a subcategory of folklore, intended for children, featuring unnatural creatures and/or requiring use of magic to resolve the situation (Harries, 2003). Any fairy-tale exists in multiple forms with a number of variations, but with certain traits making it recognizable. In the simplest version of RRH, a girl is told by her mother to bring her grandmother some food. Going through the woods, RHH meets the Wolf, who she confides in. The wolf distracts

While I understand parental concerns regarding the “gruesome” content in some of the fairy tales, I believe that there are more reasons than not for parents to continue reading these fairy tales to their children: fairy tales teach kids different ways of handling different things; fairy tales build emotional flexibility in kids (this can help make them realize that even in the safest environment, bad things can happen - this also helps build immunity to sensitivity); fairy tales teach kids the elements of literature (setting, characters, etc); fairy tales help evolve children’s imagination; and most importantly, they teach kids important lessons. Parents might still think that some fairy tales are just too scary to read to their kids. However, parents must consider two things: 1) their children’s age and their level of development; your one/two/three year old would most likely not understand what was happening. 2) Fairy tales don’t have the rule of having to be read at night (which is when most of them are being read to children). If you think your child would lose sleep, then read the fairy tale some time during the day; your child would most probably forget all about it by his or her bedtime.

Furthermore, in Red Riding Hood she was wearing red which is the colour of blood as she was a virgin she became the prey of the wolf. The colour red attracts unnecessary attention when she was going through the forest. This tells us how naïve young girls can be and not being aware of her surroundings. She was born in a village so comparing to the children in the cities she is more
