Little Red Ridding Hood Analysis

Decent Essays
While reading the “Little Red Ridding Hood”, one of the underlying message that was directed to children is not to talk to wolfs because you might become their meal. Little Red Ridding Hood was allowed to wonder in the woods to her grandmother’s house all alone and on her way she encountered a wolf who asked her several questions. Little Red Ridding Hood not knowing best told the wolf everything. Because of this Little Red Ridding Hood’s grandmother and Little Red Ridding Hood were both eaten by the wolf.
Although we are unsure of the age of Little Red Ridding Hood, we can see how the author describes her in in the beginning of the story. This is an important feature because the author describes her as the “prettiest creature who was ever seen”

This ferocious and terrifying “wolf” is the universally known terrible feeling that we call grief. Grief is defined as “keen mental suffering or distress over affliction or loss; sharp sorrow; painful regret.” This definition fits perfectly with the story presented in Emily Carroll’s “Through the Woods” in the short story “The Nesting Place”. Our dreary yet relatable main character Mabel, or Bel, is not only haunted by the monster in this story; she is also haunted by the grief that comes with the loss of her mother.…
