If you love fairy tales, you probably know the story of Little Red Riding Hood.
The tale is about a girl living in the woods who is led by a wolf into a dangerous situation. The story has been retold many times in literature and media, and the modern version is no different. This book is a great introduction to this classic tale and a great read for kids of all ages.
The Big Bad Wolf is a metaphor for real-life situations
Little Red Riding Hood's story is partly a family psychodrama, but it also has political undertones. In a post-9/11 world, suspicion of all is deeply entrenched, reinforcing the idea that no one can be trusted and everyone is guilty until proven innocent. Moreover, the tale explores the notion of hidden identities and the fear of danger that lurks behind the familiar.
While the traditional fairy tale focuses on peril in the woods, Little Red Riding Hood shows us that it can lurk in our home, as well. In fact, the story's wolf character appears in disguise, defying the traditional role of the wolf as a nature-born predator. Similarly, the story highlights the danger of approaching strangers, as children can fall victim to such predators.
The Big Bad Wolf is a symbol of womanhood
Little Red Riding Hood is a cautionary tale that is laden with metaphors and symbols. Among the most prominent is the Big Bad Wolf, a wolf that represents a wide range of fears, including fear of sex, nature, and self. The Big Bad Wolf represents the fear of young people of making the wrong choices that could result in dire consequences.
In the story, the wolf represents the danger of revealing personal information to a stranger. This fear is the driving force in the story, which depicts how fear can consume an individual. The girl arrives at the house first because the wolf tricked her. She then lingers outside the house before going to her grandmother's house.
Perrault's writing
Perrault's version of Little Red Riding Hood is a slightly different story from the original. The wolf is a lot more cunning and lethal than the one in the original story, and this makes the story a bit more frightening for young girls. However, it still provides an excellent lesson in morality for young girls.
The wolf is also a key theme in this story. While the wolf is anthropomorphized and the girl is not actually a wolf, the story is about a girl who has grown up with a protective wolf. This is a good lesson for children who have no experience with werewolves and are concerned about them.
