Now some of the most famous fairy tales and the writers themselves. According to a 2004 poll of 1200 children by UCI Cinemas, the most famous fairy tales in the U.S. are Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Hansel and Gretel. Rapunzel, and Little Red Riding Hood. (“Get a Card” Fairy Tales) That is pretty fascinating, but, just take one second to imagine 1200 children in the same place at the same time, wow that is a bit too much for anyone’s brain. Charles Perrault, with his “Mother Goose” was among…

never would have believed to be a theme in the story and many others. Another story that I really enjoyed understanding and learning about was Little Red Riding Hood, originally known as Little Red Cap. Before digging deeper into the meanings of the symbols throughout the story, they just blew over my head. I never thought that the girl’s cape was made red for a reason and I never would have thought that it represented the loss of her virginity and her basically being a prostitute! That…

and well-known stories teach girls? What do they teach boys? My original answer was: Previous stories we have read have taught girls that men are there to save them. In Cinderella, the prince carries her away from the evil life she leads. In Little Red Riding Hood, the girl makes bad decisions and is eaten up by the wolf, and then saved by the woodman. Snow White kissed by the prince. These stories teach boys that it is their responsibility to save the girl, to be their hero Even though my…

Fiona would board. This is obviously a parody of Cinderella where the fairy turns a pumpkin into a carriage. As stated before, the movie makes fun of fairytale characters. The Three Blind Mice are actually blind and the big bad wolf from the Little Red Riding Hood isn’t portrayed as big and bad.
