She knew that she could not follow the map with Hansel and Gretel. Sadly the first thing that popped into the twins beloved mother's head was, that she must get rid of them. For some reason she whispered the whole plan out loud with the twins sitting in the same room. Hansel and Gretel heard the whole thing. The twins were very scared.

For the wolf she had something special for his kindness to the kids, leftover green beans from her lunch. Granny had grown to attached to the kids to let them go alone and had promised not to leave their sides until they were safely where they needed to be. The kids were very grateful and really wanted granny to come along. Hansel and Gretel’s house could be seen through a clearing through the trees. Red’s grandmother’s cottage turned out to be just inside the woods, very close to the twins home. Wolf stepped in front of the group so fast it made everyone but granny fall.

    Carter subsequently goes on to describes the meeting of the wolf with grandmother, “Off with his disguise, that coat of forest-coloured cloth, the hat with the feather tucked into the ribbon; his matted hair streams down his white shirt and she can see the lice moving in it” (217).It can be argued there is skepticism by the reader of what the intentions of the wolf are because after killing granny he dresses up. He could have very well easily stayed naked as a wolf and when the girl came to the door eaten her right away. It is also not clear whether the wolf being clothed will also bring about the metaphorphosis of his innate nature for violence. This is supported when the author describes the young man’s encounter with the young woman, “I don't believe you. Besides, aren't you afraid of the wolves?…

In the beginning of the story, Red’s mother tells her multiple of times to obey her and to not talk to strangers: “walk prettily, and don’t go off the road (Kopf 162). An undertone that is boldly stands out in the beginning of the story. The victim, although seemingly naive, knows exactly what kind of trouble she is getting into from the beginning. Red could have easily not talked to the wolf when he approached her, and she could have easily not told him what she is carrying and where she is going: “[She lives] about a quarter of an hour from here in the forest.…

    In many versions of “Little Red Riding Hood”, Little Red has been described by authors as “a pretty village girl” and “a dear little girl” (3). However, she has also been described by Zack Zipes as “forthright, brave, and shrewd” (4). The describes of Little Red vary between stories, but nearly every time the outcome is the same; the grandma is eaten, the wolf replaces her, Little Red is tricked, and the wolf eats her. On rare occasions, Little Red out wits the wolf or a hunter saves both the grandma and Little Red; much like how on rare occasions a potential rape victim can escape on her own or how a passerby can help rescue her.…
