Little Red

The reason why the life of Little Red is plan because the authors presents a symbol that can tell the readers what can happen to Little Red. The symbol is a concept that stands for and suggesting an idea of visual image that can be in a form of words. An example of this is in both of the tales from Charles Perrault and Brother’s Grimm describes their protagonist at first as sweet little girl who was wearing a red hood (Perrault) and a red cap (Grimm) which is the reason why she was called “Little Red Riding Hood.” The color red that connects in “Little Red Riding Hood” name may suggest that this could be danger and seduction as this always been the case in fairy tales where the character gets eaten. This could be a possible of life threatening to Little Red. Red also symbolize for menstruation in which a girl have reach their adulthood of becoming a woman. As getting her menstruation can mean that she should be careful that she is a woman now because men can try to chase her and lose her virginity. This ultimately gives warning to Little Red. The story ultimately shows that Little Red is going to get her life taken away from her. The fact that she was cloaked in red may already foreshadows her fate.

Another reason little red’s life is plan because she receives no guidance to her parents. Without guidance there is a higher chance of life at risk. Parents who do not give instructions and make their children aware of their surroundings can make them smart and know how to surf the world. In fairy tales, the guidance of the parents are important which can help save the life of their children. This in Charles Perrault and Grimm Brothers are not always been the case. Perrault and Grimm Brothers want to show that Little Red’s fate is like this because she is red. That her life is already plan for her. That danger is ahead of her. In Perrault and Grimm version there are no instruction to both of the girls who went out in the woods to deliver what the mother has sent them to do for their ill grandma. On the other hand to Perrault version, the mother give Little Red a bun and butter to send it to her grandmother without the mother giving instruction to Red. This
