Review of the fairy tale "Little Red Riding Hood"
I really liked this fairy tale, because Little Red Riding Hood was so cheerful, she loved nature and was trusting of other people and animals. But this trust played a bad joke on her and almost led to tragedy. It’s good that the woodcutters arrived in time and saved Little Red Riding Hood.

Summary, brief retelling of the fairy tale "Little Red Riding Hood"
There lived in a village a little girl who was loved by her mother and grandmother. The grandmother gave the girl a red riding hood and from then on the girl was called Little Red Riding Hood.
One day, mother sent Little Red Riding Hood to her grandmother to take the pie and butter and ask about her health.
Little Red Riding Hood walked through the forest, and the Wolf met her. The Wolf asked where Little Red Riding Hood was going, and the girl told him everything.
The Wolf ran along the short road to grandma’s house and knocked. Grandmother decided that Little Red Riding Hood had come and told the Wolf to pull the string. The wolf pulled, the door opened and he immediately swallowed the grandmother.
Little Red Riding Hood walked along a long road and picked flowers. She walked up to her grandmother's house and knocked. The wolf asked in a hoarse voice who was there, and Little Red Riding Hood decided that the grandmother was hoarse from a cold.
She entered the house and put the pie and butter on the table, and then began to ask her grandmother why she needed such big hands, eyes, ears and teeth. Then the Wolf swallowed Little Red Riding Hood.
Fortunately, woodcutters passed by and cut open the Wolf's belly, and from there the living grandmother and Little Red Riding Hood jumped out.

"Little Red Riding Hood" (2011)
A young girl, Valerie, lives in the small village of Daggerhorn. She loves the lumberjack Peter, but her parents Cesar and Suzette promised the wealthy blacksmith Adrian that Valerie would marry his son Henry as payment for Cesar's debt. Valerie plans to escape with Peter, but their plans are upset by the news of another attack by a werewolf who has long terrorized their village. The villagers make a monthly sacrifice to the wolf, but during the “red moon” this is not enough and a human sacrifice is required. The victim turned out to be Lucy, Valerie's older sister. The villagers stay away from the forest, but Lucy, in love with Henry, went there when she learned of his proposed wedding to Valerie.
Adrian, Henry, Peter, Cesar and other men go into the forest, deciding to kill the wolf, but Adrian dies during the hunt, and the men bring back the body of an ordinary gray wolf, who is considered a werewolf. While helping Suzette embalm Adrian's body, Valerie discovers that they once had an affair. Thus, Lucy is Adrian's daughter and Henry's half-sister, which Cesar is unaware of. The villagers decide to celebrate the werewolf's death, but the fun is interrupted by the arrival of werewolf hunter Father Solomon. He explains to the crowd that they did not kill the real werewolf, otherwise he would have taken on human form at the moment of death. He also says that a werewolf can be wounded with a silver weapon; Father Solomon himself covered the nails on one hand with silver. Soon a real werewolf appears and kills several people. People bitten by it will become werewolves themselves on a full moon. The wolf corners Valerie and her friend Roxanne, and then starts talking to Valerie. To her surprise, she understands the wolf's growl.
The next morning, Father Solomon arrests Roxanne's brother as an accomplice of the werewolf. To save him, Roxanne admits that Valerie can communicate with a werewolf. Father Solomon decides to use Valerie as wolf bait. She is saved by Peter and Henry. Father Solomon's assistants begin shooting at Valerie and Henry, but a werewolf suddenly appears. Father Solomon, who was bitten by him (and, therefore, received a werewolf curse), is killed. Meanwhile, Valerie begins to suspect her grandmother living in the forest: believing her to be a werewolf, Valerie decides to kill her and save the village.
On the way to her grandmother's house, Valerie meets Peter and sees a glove on his hand. Assuming he is a werewolf and trying to hide his burnt paw, Valerie stabs him and hides in her grandmother's house. She, however, behaves very strangely and does not show herself to her granddaughter. It turns out that the wolf was actually Cesar, hiding behind a curtain and imitating his grandmother's voice. He explains to Valerie that he needs a werewolf heir and originally intended to make Lucy one. But Lucy, Suzette's daughter from Adrian, did not understand wolf speech, so Cesar, angry, killed her. Now he is determined to bite Valerie. At the last moment, Peter saves the girl, but Cesar manages to bite him. Valerie kills Cesar with Solomon's hand (with silver nails) and Peter throws an ax at his back. After getting rid of the body, Valerie decides to stay at her grandmother's house and wait for Peter to learn to control his curse. At the end of the film, she renounced life in the village and began to live in the forest in her grandmother's house, and one night Peter returned to her in the guise of a wolf...
"Once upon a time, in a Fairytail"
Little Red Riding Hood was raised by her Grandmother, who said that Red Riding Hood's parents died long ago.
In the village where Riding Hood and Grandmother live, a dangerous wolf has appeared and attacks the residents. Residents, led by the mayor, try to catch him, but to no avail. Little Red Riding Hood also wants to take part in the search, but Grandmother does not allow her, and she also forces her granddaughter to wear a red cloak, which, according to her, scares away wolves. Little Red Riding Hood and her lover, Peter, try to catch the wolf on their own. Unexpectedly, Riding Hood comes to the conclusion that Peter is the wolf. They escape at night and Peter is tied to a tree so he won't hurt anyone. But it turns out that the wolf, or rather the werewolf, is not Peter, but Little Red Riding Hood herself. A tragedy occurs - Riding Hood turns into a wolf and kills her beloved. It turns out that both Red's mother and Granny were werewolves, only Granny carefully hid it from her granddaughter and forced her to wear a red cloak, which is magical and prevents transformation. Realizing that the wrath of the villagers may fall on Riding Hood, Grandmother asks her to run away, which the girl does together with her friend Snow White, who is also on the run.
While traveling with Snow White, Little Red Riding Hood accidentally tears her cloak. Fearing that he will not prevent the transformation, Riding Hood asks Snow White to leave it to her. Left alone, Riding Hood soon finds company. They turn out to be a pack of wolves led by Anita, her mother. Anita reveals that Granny took Riding Hood from her because she wanted to raise her as a human, while Anita insisted that Riding Hood be raised as a wolf. Anita teaches her daughter to control herself as a werewolf. Soon Snow White finds them, and Little Red Riding Hood convinces the wolves that she is her friend. Then they are attacked by the Queen's men, who are looking for Snow White, and they kill Quinn, one of Anita's men. An enraged Anita wants to kill Snow White, Riding Hood defends her, and a fight breaks out between mother and daughter. As a result, the seriously wounded Anita dies.
The Queen and her people, including the Huntsman, continue to hunt for Snow White. Previously, the Queen stole the Hunter's heart, and thereby gained the ability to control him. This was the Huntsman's payment for helping Snow White escape. The heart falls into the hands of Riding Hood, and for some time she, Snow White and the Huntsman act together, escaping from the Queen's people. But in the end, the Huntsman has to sacrifice himself and return his heart to the Queen so that Riding Hood and Snow White can survive. Snow White promises to do everything to stop the Queen, and so that the Huntsman and Little Red Riding Hood will be together again.
When Snow White and her lover, Prince Charming, are almost together, the Prince is captured by King George. Snow White, the Dwarves, Little Red Riding Hood and some other inhabitants of the Enchanted Forest set out to rescue him. There, Little Red Riding Hood is reunited with her Grandmother, who is also present during the rescue mission.
Later, Little Red Riding Hood and Granny participate in several war councils where measures against King George as well as the Evil Queen are discussed.
After the second curse is cast and while traveling through the Enchanted Forest again, Little Red Riding Hood tells Snow White that she misses the old days when they were running from the Evil Queen. Although the new adventures are very similar to the old ones, they differ in that the Queen is now completely changed and is their ally.
In her wolf form, Little Red Riding Hood is invulnerable to any weapon except silver.

Little Red Riding Hood (Le Petit Chaperon Rouge) is the central character of C. Perrault’s fairy tale “Little Red Riding Hood” (1697), a girl living with her mother in the village; her grandmother lives in the neighboring village. Mother sends Little Red Riding Hood to her sick grandmother to take a cake and a pot of butter. In the forest, Little Red Riding Hood meets a wolf, to whom she tells where her grandmother lives. On his advice, she goes to her grandmother along the long road, collecting nuts and flowers. Arriving at the house, she hears the rude voice of the wolf, who has already eaten her grandmother, but, remembering that she has a cold, she goes inside without fear and, at the request of the wolf, goes to bed with her grandmother. She is surprised by her grandmother’s appearance: “Grandma, what big hands you have!” (the same about legs, ears, eyes, teeth). At the mention of teeth, the wolf lunges at Little Red Riding Hood and eats her.
Perrault does not have any hunters saving Little Red Riding Hood and grandmother, who emerge unscathed from the ripped open belly of the wolf. This addition is found in folklore adaptations of the tale, one of which was recorded by the Brothers Grimm.
Perrault says almost nothing about Little Red Riding Hood. Her name is unknown, her age is unclear (I have not yet seen adults without outerwear, but she can walk through the forest to the neighboring village alone), her appearance is defined by one word: “pretty”. Nickname given by the red cap given by the grandmother, in the masculine original (as “Red Cap”, “Red Cap”). The character is characterized by clothing, which is typical for Perrault’s fairy-tale world (cf. Cinderella’s slipper, Cat’s boots). Perrault uses a technique that easily introduces the reader into a fantasy world: Little Red Riding Hood is surprised only by particulars: it is strange for her that her grandmother answered in a rude voice, but it is not strange that the wolf is talking to her; It’s strange to see the grandmother’s big arms, legs, etc., but it’s not strange that they are not human (later this technique, which allows the reader to perceive the myth as reality, is widely used by F. Kafka, for example, in “The Metamorphosis”).
In “Morals”, which follows the fairy tale, Perrault likens Little Red Riding Hood to a young socialite girl: “Little children, not without reason / (And especially girls, / Beauties and spoiled girls), / Meeting all kinds of men on the way, / You cannot listen to insidious speeches, - /Otherwise the wolf might eat them.”
Supporters of the mythological school (P. Sentiw and others) saw hidden symbolism in the image of Little Red Riding Hood: this is Dawn, which is destroyed by the Sun (wolf), or the incarnation of the May Queen, while the wolf personifies Winter. Psychoanalysts see in Little Red Riding Hood’s behavior a completely adult desire to lure the wolf. A supporter of the scenario theory, E. Burke, notes: “Little Red Riding Hood tells the wolf where he can meet her again, and even climbs into his bed. She's clearly playing with the wolf."
The sources of the image have not been established; Little Red Riding Hood first appears in Perrault’s fairy tale, but folklore elements that indicate the antiquity of the plot are obvious. Little Red Riding Hood is the heroine of films of the same name (1901, directed by J. Méliès, France; 1929, directed by A. Cavalcanti, France; directed by L. A. Nechaev, USSR) and other works of various types of art.
Composition
The wolf (le loup) is a character from C. Perrault’s fairy tale “Little Red Riding Hood” (1697), who ate the grandmother and Little Red Riding Hood. The wolf meets Little Red Riding Hood in the forest and wants to eat her, but does not dare, since there are woodcutters in the forest. He learns from the girl that she is going to visit her sick grandmother, asks about where she lives, promises to also visit her grandmother and invites Little Red Riding Hood to take the long road, while he himself sets off along the short road. Arriving at the grandmother's house, the Wolf changes his voice, posing as Little Red Riding Hood, learns from the grandmother how to open the door, rushes at the old woman and swallows her whole, since he has not eaten for three days. Then he goes to bed. When Little Red Riding Hood knocks on the door, he asks in a rough voice: “Who’s there?”, and then in a softer voice explains how to open the door, repeating the words his grandmother told him: “Pull the latch, the latch will spring back.” He asks Little Red Riding Hood to place a cake and a pot of butter on the chest and lie down next to him. Little Red Riding Hood is surprised by the appearance of "grandmother" when she is undressed. The wolf answers her naive questions about big hands (“This is to hug you better, granddaughter!”), about big legs (“This is to run easier, my child!”), about big ears (“This is to hear better, my child!), about big eyes (“This is so that I can see you better, my child!”), but after the question about big teeth, he stops this game and says: “This is so that I can eat you!” With these words, he rushes at Little Red Riding Hood and eats her.
The wolf in the image of Charles Perrault has human qualities: he speaks in a human voice, which can change, comes up with cunning plans, etc., which makes him similar to the characters of both fairy tales and fables (animals are allegorical images of people). However, complete identification of the Wolf with the person does not occur. He is not given a name, like the wolf Isengrin in the Old French animal epic of the 12th–13th centuries. "Novel about the Fox." The wolf is not a werewolf, he does not take the form of a gentleman (in the forest), Little Red Riding Hood (knocking on the door) or grandmother (in bed). This is actually a fairy-tale trait, like the ability to swallow a grandmother whole, and then a granddaughter.
The ambiguity of the image of the Wolf has made it possible to put forward several interpretations of it. The first was proposed by Perrault himself in “Morals”, which accompanies the fairy tale, where the fable beginning is strengthened, the Wolf is likened to secular red tape: “There are countless wolves, / But among them there are others / Rogues, so swindling, / That, sweetly exuding flattery, / They guard the honor of the maiden , /Accompany them on their walks home, /Guide them bye-bye through dark corners.../But the wolf, alas, the more modest he seems, /The more cunning and terrible he is!” “Morality” removes the fairy-tale beginning and makes the work purely “adult”. Perrault's followers, turning to this image, added another ending (the death of the Wolf), creating a plot more acceptable for children's perception.
Representatives of the mythological school saw hidden symbolism in the Wolf (see Little Red Riding Hood). Psychoanalysts, on the contrary, view fairy tales as a recording of purely human relationships. Thus, E. Bern, considering the image of the Wolf in an expanded version of the plot in which the Wolf dies (which was not in the fairy tale by Charles Perrault), wrote: “If we take the result as it really is, then the whole thing is an intrigue , in whose net the unfortunate wolf was caught: he was forced to imagine himself as a trickster, capable of fooling anyone, using the girl as bait. Then the moral of the story may not be that little girls should stay away from the forest where there are wolves, but that wolves should stay away from girls who look naive and from their grandmothers. In short: a wolf should not walk in the forest alone.” The direct source of the image of the Wolf has not been established, since Perrault's fairy tale is the earliest recording of this plot. The wolf is a popular character in fairy tales of different nations. The main features of this folklore image are reproduced in the medieval “Roman of the Fox” (the wolf Isengrin). Along with Little Red Riding Hood, the Wolf is a world literary image; it accompanies her in other fairy tales based on this plot, in theatrical and film versions, and ballets. One of the interesting interpretations of the image of the Wolf is S. Prokofiev’s musical fairy tale “Peter and the Wolf”.
Modern Red Riding Hoods
naivety, simplicity, gullibility,
friendliness and sociability
inferior to their fairy-tale predecessors.
Do you remember the fairy tale by Charles Perrault about a small and very sweet girl, for whom her mother, in an abundance of feelings, sewed a cute red hat? Of course you remember. So now we will tell you the “story” of how the Little Red Riding Hoods live in our difficult times, when “wolves” are found on every corner, and there are fewer and fewer good and brave “hunters” who can come to the rescue at the last moment. less.
Modern Little Red Riding Hoods, in their naivety, simplicity, gullibility, friendliness and sociability, are not inferior to their fairy-tale predecessors. They are still inclined to give a radiant Smile to the first person they meet, chat with the most suspicious types as if they were old friends, and listen to advice given by everyone who is not too lazy.
Even at forty, Little Red Riding Hood does not abandon the habits of a small and slightly spoiled girl: she boasts about her new clothes to all the employees of the department in which she works; does not understand why it is wrong to leave a safe open or allow strange men to carry their bags home; really likes to ask questions like “Why are yours so big...”, etc., etc., because of which his interlocutors often have the desire, if not to eat an overly curious woman, then at least to beat her a little .
The described character traits and behavioral features determine Little Red Riding Hood’s preferences in clothing, shoes, cosmetics, accessories, etc. It is impossible to see her in a strict business suit, with dark-framed glasses and elegant hair. She hates sneakers and sportswear and would never agree to go out without makeup.
Little Red Riding Hood is her own stylist and fashion designer. And there is hardly a person who can convince an auntie who has fallen into childhood that short skirts and blouses with frivolous frills and lace, funny curls and huge hairpins on the head and too bright makeup, platform shoes and funny accessories (if the handbag - then in the form of a basket or bag; if a hat, then only with wide brims and some incredible colors, plus gloves and stockings) are more suitable for first-graders.
However, despite all her eccentricities (or perhaps thanks to them), Little Red Riding Hood is never deprived of the attention of representatives of the opposite sex. The latter, attracted by their bright appearance and funny manners, feel at ease and at ease in the company of women of this type. As they say, rest your soul.
Maybe it’s time for you to give your lover a rest? If yes, then start creating a new image. And don't forget to wear your red riding hood!
SECRET
It is like a Chinese box: as soon as you open the lock on one box, another one immediately appears - and also with a lock, to which you need to select a new key. And then the third, fourth, fifth... and so on until the box opens or the exhausted “opener” finally loses his temper.
She is a “mystery” woman, a riddle, a rebus and a charade all rolled into one. And there is hardly a person in the whole wide world who can reveal this “secret”, understand the meaning of the mysterious smile that appears from time to time on a charming face, or the sudden and causeless tears that a woman of this type can begin to shed a few seconds after the explosion uncontrollable laughter.
So, before us is a woman who has chosen for herself the image of an eternal stranger, a mysterious lover, about whom no man can say: “I know her very well!” Because, as a rule, he knows nothing but the first name, last name and - at most - the address of such a woman.
Isn't it a very convenient image? Moreover, it is not even known for whom it is more convenient - for a woman who, having surrounded herself with a mysterious aura, becomes the object of increased attention from the stronger sex; or for a man who, living under the same roof with a “secret”, may not worry about her problems and the means and possibilities to solve them - after all, they are simply unknown to him.
This image is unlikely to suit women who have known their lovers for a long time and are not used to hiding anything from them. But at the first “stage” of a love relationship - immediately after meeting - the use of this “mask” can bring significant success.
What is needed in order to turn from an ordinary, unremarkable person into a “mystery”, for the sake of solving which hundreds and thousands of men are ready to sacrifice their fortune and freedom?
First of all, change your appearance. Everything you had on before - clothes and shoes, probably bought either in a not too expensive store or at the market, hairstyle - an ordinary haircut, perhaps with only two or three multi-colored strands, jewelry that is worn by hardly half of the female population of the country and etc. - should be postponed until better times.
Now elegant accessories will become integral parts of your appearance: gloves, glasses with very dark lenses, a small handbag in which it is unknown how a set of expensive cosmetics fits, a pile of papers of unknown content and something else “like that” that you won’t see on ordinary shelves. shops. Don't forget about the original hat, which, however, could well be replaced by some unconventional haircut.
Clothes should be selected in a strict classic style. Some bright detail (a scarf of incredible colors, a brooch or cufflinks) will also attract everyone's attention. Yes, and in conclusion, do not forget to give your face the most mysterious expression possible.
