In this classic tale, Red Riding Hood bakes a cake for her Grandma who lives in a little cottage in the woods. But when her mother injures her ankle Red Riding Hood must take the cake to her grandma on her own...and there have been rumours of a wolf on the prowl in the woods... Red Riding Hood is a character in ABC's Once Upon a Time (2011) TV series. In this version of the tale, Red (portrayed by Meghan Ory) is a werewolf, and her cape is the only thing that can prevent her from metamorphosing during a full moon when there is magic present. In the Enchanted Forest, she accidentally devoured her boyfriend Peter (portrayed by Jesse Hutch) and ran off with Snow White (portrayed by Ginnifer Goodwin). Her Storybrooke persona is Ruby Lucas, a waitress. [50] Such tellings bear some similarity to the "animal bridegroom" tales, such as Beauty and the Beast or The Frog Prince, but where the heroines of those tales revert the hero to a prince, these tellings of Little Red Riding Hood reveal to the heroine that she has a wild nature like the hero's. [43] These interpretations refuse to characterize Little Red Riding Hood as a victim; these are tales of female empowerment. Most of the stories left to us by both the Grimm brothers and Charles Perrault were collected from local European legends and traditions of the Middle Ages. One such story is that of Little Red Riding Hood.

In the Brothers Grimm version of the story, a huntsman passing by the cottage hears the wolf’s loud snoring and becomes suspicious. The huntsman enters the house and discovers the sleeping wolf. Suspecting that the wolf has eaten Little Red Riding Hood and her grandmother, the huntsman cuts open the wolf’s belly, freeing them both unharmed. The huntsman then fills the wolf’s stomach with stones, causing the wolf to die when he awakens. The tale serves as a cautionary story, warning children about the dangers of talking to strangers and the importance of following their parents‘ instructions. It also explores themes of innocence, deception, and the contrast between the safety of home and the dangers of the outside world. Abstract But since she does tend to end up being eaten by the wolf, it’s worth asking what the moral of this fairy tale is supposed to be – assuming it has a moral. Little Red Riding Hood is one of the central characters in the Broadway musical Into the Woods (1987) by Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine. In the song, "I Know Things Now", she speaks of how the wolf made her feel "excited, well, excited and scared", in a reference to the sexual undertones of their relationship. Red Riding Hood's cape is also one of the musical's four quest items that are emblematic of fairy tales. [60]I beseech you, open the door for me, father. Jingle your bracelets, oh my daughter Ghriba. I'm afraid of the monster in the forest, father. I, too, am afraid, oh my daughter Ghriba.' [12] Then Hugh took the child home, and her mother and father could not thank him enough for saving Little Red Riding-Hood. Short story by a vintage author, originally by Charles Perrault Scarlet is a 2013 novel written by Marissa Meyer that was loosely based on the fairy tale. In the story, a girl named Scarlet tries to find her missing grandmother with the help of a mysterious street fighter called Wolf. It is the second book of The Lunar Chronicles. From this story one learns that children, especially young lasses, pretty, courteous and well-bred, do very wrong to listen to strangers, And it is not an unheard thing if the Wolf is thereby provided with his dinner. I say Wolf, for all wolves are not of the same sort; there is one kind with an amenable disposition – neither noisy, nor hateful, nor angry, but tame, obliging and gentle, following the young maids in the streets, even into their homes. Alas! Who does not know that these gentle wolves are of all such creatures the most dangerous!

Little Red Riding Hood“ has been subject to various interpretations over time, demonstrating the depth and complexity of Grimm fairy tales. Some key interpretations of the story include: Hannah F. Whitten wrote a retelling inspired by "Little Red Riding Hood" named "For the wolf", where the character named Red is sacrificed to the Wolf as part of tradition. In this retelling the wolf is a man, and later on they form a relationship.In later and better-known versions, the story continues. A woodcutter in the French version, or a hunter in the Brothers Grimm and traditional German versions, comes to the rescue with an axe, and cuts open the sleeping wolf. Little Red Riding Hood and her grandmother emerge shaken, but unharmed. Then they fill the wolf's body with heavy stones. The wolf awakens and attempts to flee, but the stones cause him to collapse and die. In the Grimms' version, the wolf leaves the house and tries to drink out of a well, but the stones in his stomach cause him to fall in and drown (similarly to the story of " The Wolf and the Seven Little Kids"). Jin-Roh: The Wolf Brigade (1999) is a Japanese action political thriller anime film uses the story of Little Red Riding Hood to show the triumph of the wolf. Coming of age: One interpretation sees the story as a metaphor for a young girl’s journey into adulthood. The red cap may symbolize her transition from childhood to womanhood, while the wolf represents the dangers and temptations she may face along the way. The story teaches the importance of obedience and caution, as well as the need to resist straying from the path of righteousness.
