Little Red
By Tammy Derouin
Fairy tales have a purpose; at least they did before they were sanitized. Little Red Riding Hood is probably my favorite example. Little Red stared at extremely vital and crucial evidence, but chose to dismiss it. She knew something wasn’t right because she asked some very good questions. How is it possible to stare into the eyes of the wolf and accept his ridiculous, but apparently convincing, answers? Was she afraid to look at the past and all the events which led up to this fateful event? Did she deny the fate of her grandmother? Maybe, Little Red wanted to be grandmotherly correct and didn’t want to offend by pointing out some extremely obvious changes.
