    Charles Perrault, as I perceive his version of the tale of Red Riding Hood, among other variations of this tale that most of us have heard, is probably one of the first tales introducing a new literary genre. He derives his moral intentions laid out in his story from the pre-existing folk tales taught in a translation to frighteningly prepare readers for the events that commonly were suspected to be taking place. The way it was told by Perrault seems to be less of a gruesome tale, though it was…

    Cinderella Fairy tales are not what most of the world thinks they are. Quite a few of them are horrifying and gruesome but all of the stories have a specific meaning to them just like any other.

One can see the lack of power for women constantly appearing in literature,…

    Vergil continues to describe the image “the mother wolf stretched out in the green grotto of Mars, twin boys at her dugs.” (8.617-619) Here, he alludes to the legendary, oft-admired founder of Rome, Romulus, and his brother Remus, who were, as the quote describes, allegedly abandoned and cared for by a wolf. Although he does not specifically use their names, it is important to note that the phrase “twin boys” would most likely immediately evoke this specific myth in the minds of his audience -…

    Many of the short stories in Elizabeth McCracken’s HERE’S YOUR HAT WHAT’S YOUR HURRY (1993) contain characters so abnormal that they are seen in circus sideshows. However, the author’s focus is on the response of ordinary people to their encounters with the extraordinary. The subject of McCracken’s first novel is the same, but the approach is different. THE GIANT’S HOUSE is appropriately subtitled “A Romance.” Not only is it a story of romantic love, but it is also the kind of fiction which,…
