Post #10 "Little Red Riding Hood" Charles Perrault

The myth that I have selected to read is "Little Red Riding Hood" by Charles Perrault. In this early version of Little Red Riding Hood there is a different ending to the story. Before The wolf finally eats the little girl at her grandmothers house but before he does she gets undressed and climbs into the bed with the wolf. I found this part in the tale to be very sexual and different. I feel as though this part in the story portrays women as just being sexual beings. It showcases the roles of women in the minds of men and society during this time. This is one of the stories that I am researching and looking into for my research paper. I've selected this story because of how different and intriguing it is, also I want to get a better understanding for myself and my readers into the sexual messages or motifs within classic tales.
