"Red's Riding Hoods" -an Interesting Interpretation to the Famous Fairy Tale


While I was doing research for my paper, I came across this YouTube video of another interpretation of “The Little Red Riding Hood”. I found this interesting because unlike all the other stories I have read or watched on this fairy tale, this one represented the wolf as being ignorant and innocent and Red, who makes “riding hoods” as the villain. The wolf was bringing a basket to his grandmother wolf, and when he ran into Little Red Riding Hood he stated “my mother warned me about you”. Little Red Riding Hood characterized these events in other stories. Little Red Riding Hood ran to grandmothers house, disguised herself as the wolf’s grandmother and then in the end the wolf sold his “grandmother” (Little Red Riding Hood) for one thousand dollars. I liked this version of the fairy tale because it ironically switches the roles of each character.
