Everyone knows the classic fairy tale âLittle Red Riding Hood.â But what some people donât know is that the story has had several adaptions, each of which have been reimagined into something that is like the original story, yet more interesting. Some of those adaptations, however, were written as exaggerations of what the narrator was saying. One example of an LRRH adaptation that has been recreated â yet not exaggerated â is âThe Company of Wolvesâ, in which certain plot...

Since the beginning of time, gender and gender norms has been a constant tug of war battle. Because I am a woman, I deserve this right. Because I am a man, I have the authority to tell women what they can and cannot do, etc. In the previous few decades, gender norms have not been prevalent in society, however gender roles and expectations have been seen in some of the oldest literature. In this essay, I will argue that women...

I find these themes important to the retelling of gender because it can apply to males, females, animals, or objects. In every telling of âLittle Red Riding Hood,â there was a common pattern of characters: the young girl, the grandmother, a wolf, with the occasional dwarf or huntsman thrown in. These themes apply to these genders or characters because they were different in each story. The women in the stories were either strong and fierce or innocent and helpless. The...

âLittle red cap,â and âThe Worldâs Wife,â as a whole confronts the subordinate role of women in traditional tales. Within the collection we see a series of underdeveloped and discarded literary figures take an active role in their texts and often rebuttal the marginalisation which is thrust upon them by the original male leads of the original stories. The title of the collection âthe worldâs wife,â is possessive and reminds the reader that even in the late 90s the world...

The defeat of the damsel in distress Chapter One: The Most Beautiful Child of Them All In order to understand the journey of defeating the âdamsel in distressâ, it is needed to analyse the first variations. Often when referring to Little Red Riding Hood, it could be argued that both the Perrault and Grimmâs Brothers versions are canonised together, making it often forgettable to identify the differences. In 1697, Charles Perrault, a French writer, published the first written variation of...

What Was Happening at The Time âInto the Woodsâ Was Set? Cinderella The first written European version of the fairy tale Cinderella was by Giambattista Basile in 1634 called âCenerentolaâ. This name comes from the Italian word âCenereâ which means cinder or ash. This is a reflection on the modern-day fairy tale that most people associate âCinderellaâ with as her evil Stepmother and Stepsisters treat her as a servant. Therefore, the words cinder and ash usually were covered in ash...

Through the Extension Two English course, I have produced a podcast – Fairytales: The Feminist Makeover – that explores the interplay between contexts, fairytales and female expectations. The concept of my podcast emerged through a process of independent investigation with my understanding of the concept developing deeply throughout. Although guided through the Preliminary Extension 1 and Advanced English courses, the process of self-governing inquiry felt interminable due to an excess of varied information on different topics and as such, my...
