In the old versions of the story the wolf is sometimes a terrible monster or a werewolf. In one version of the story, the wolf gives the girl some food to eat. It is part of the body of her grandmother. The wolf tells the girl to throw all her clothes in the fire, and get into bed. She says that she needs to use the toilet first. The wolf ties her with a long string so that she cannot run away without him knowing. But the girl puts the rope around something else, and escapes. Opie, Iona; Opie, Peter (1974).

In the TV series Goldie & Bear Red is a little girl who delivers muffins to her granny and likes to keep her hood clean and tidy. She is also the daughter of The Muffin Man. One interpretation is about night and day. In this interpretation, Red Riding Hood's bright red cap is a symbol for the sun. The sun is swallowed by the terrible night (the wolf). When she is cut out again, it represent the dawn. [17] This bears a resemblance to the Norse Legend of the wolf Skoll (or Fenrir) who swallows the sun at Ragnarök. [18] Red Riding Hood says "What big eyes you have!" and the wolf replies "The better to see you with!" Red Riding Hood says "What big ears you have!" and the wolf replies "The better to hear you with!" Red Riding Hood says "What big teeth you have!" and the wolf replies "The better to eat you with!"

The bride is really Thor in disguise (the similarities between this tale and Little Red Riding-Hood are already becoming apparent), so the mischievous Loki has to do some serious sales patter here: Upon reaching the grandmother’s house, the wolf devours the grandmother and disguises himself in her clothing. When Little Red Riding Hood arrives, she is deceived by the wolf’s disguise and engages in a conversation with him, commenting on his big ears, eyes, and teeth. Eventually, the wolf reveals his true self and devours Little Red Riding Hood as well.

The 1996 movie Freeway is a crime drama loosely adapted from the Riding Hood story, with Riding Hood ( Reese Witherspoon) recast as an abused, illiterate teenager and the wolf ( Kiefer Sutherland) portrayed as a serial killer named Bob Wolverton. The film had one straight-to-video sequel. François Adrien Boieldieu (1775 - 1834) made an opera from the story. The opera is called Le petit chaperon rouge. Its first performance was in Paris, in the year 1818.

Red Riding Hood is a character in Bill Willingham's Fables (comics) series beginning with the Homelands arc. The forest’s main danger is the wolf. This animal symbolizes savagery and the irrational. Something that Little Red Riding Hood already knows and that she must face. Nevertheless, the young woman manages to cross the forest and happily enters her grandmother’s house, who’s in bed because she’s ill. All very similar to the classic tale. However, it’s then that the changes come. Once upon a time there was a dear little girl who was loved by everyone who looked at her, but most of all by her grandmother, and there was nothing that she would not have given to the child. Once she gave her a little riding hood of red velvet, which suited her so well that she would never wear anything else; so she was always called 'Little Red Riding Hood.' When the girl arrives, she notices that her grandmother looks very strange. She says, "What a deep voice you have!" ("The better to greet you with", responds the wolf), "Goodness, what big eyes you have!" ("The better to see you with", responds the wolf), "And what big hands you have!" ("The better to embrace you with", responds the wolf), and lastly, "What a big mouth you have" ("The better to eat you with!", responds the wolf), at which point the wolf jumps out of the bed and eats her, too. Then he falls asleep. In Charles Perrault's version of the story (the first version to be published), the tale ends here.Dark & Darker Faerie Tales by Two Sisters is a collection of dark fairy tales which features Little Red Riding Hood, revealing what happened to her after her encounter with the wolf.

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] According to Paul Delarue, a similar narrative is found in East Asian stories, namely, in China, Korea [14] and Japan, with the title "The Tiger and the Children". [15] Earliest versions [ edit ] "The better to see you with": woodcut by Walter Crane Folktales that were passed down from generation to generation at the time didn’t tend to be overtly moralised, nor were they told specifically for children. It’s Charles Perrault and the Brothers Grimm (in their popular version in 1812) that carved an explicit warning for children within the tale. From an educator’s point of view, or a parent’s, it’s a great story to explore concepts of obedience and, famously, ‘stranger danger’.
