little red riding hood & sex ??!? o.O

In graphic novels we read three different types of The Little Red Riding Hood the fairy tale, the trailer, and the comic book version. In all versions some sort of sexuality was observed. Many people say Little Red Riding Hood is about sex. This idea sounds very crazy and obscured, but many hints and details in all three types of literature show it.

In the fairy tale many parents have a different view on the story and many say it's about sex. I believe a parent may see that because all fairy tales have a lesson. In the fairy tale little red riding hood is a innocent little girl that goes to visit her sick grandmother deep in the woods. As she makes this journey through the forest she wears a long red cloak that covers her from head to toe. In addition her mother warns little red not to talk to any strangers and not to leave the path. Little red mothers warning is a typical message every parent gives to their child, "don't talk to strangers." This message is important because no parent wants their child to talk to someone they don't know because this stranger can harm their child and no parent wants to see their child hurt. In addition "stay on the path" is another message a parent tells his or her child because no parent wants their child to go and get lost and they'll never see them again. Just these two messages help convey the idea of parents thinking little red riding hood is about sex because of boys "the wolf" trying to prey in little girls " little red riding hood ."

Although the fairy tale has a message about sex the trailer I saw Little Red Riding Hood has even more details on how this once known fairy tale is some what about sex. In the trailer Little Red wears a beautiful long red hood and red lipstick. It has been proven that the color red is very attractive and sensual for women to lure in men. The girl in the trailer has this sweet voice and this innocent face that helps contribute to this wolf wanting her. In normal eyes a woman wearing lets say a red dress with red lipstick is trying to captivate the attention of a male. Therefore making this story about sex. All the things this girl wears in a trailer leads to a guy that will try to either rape or have sex with her because its almost as though she is teasing him. The wolf attacks the girl in the story, but in normal eyes he doesn't just eat her he tries to have intercourse with her. Just the amount of red she wears makes it seem sexual because it's almost like Red is the color of passion, lust, and love.

So the fairy tale and the trailer both show how the story has to do with sex now the comic book really shows some sort pof sexual attempts made by the wolf and little red. The little red talks to the wolf in such a friendly tone almost as if they was flirting. Flirting almost always leads to sexual behavior. Besides the friendly talking the wolf tries to get little red into bed with him ! he keeps insisting she comes closer and crawls in with him. This type of behavior tells any parent SEXUAL behavior. The wolf represents a guy who tries to talk sweetly to a little girl and then lure her into bed. The wolf is also represented as a animal making the girl know he's most likely aggresive and dangerous. This type of things is something all parents try to warn their daughters about bad boys that will try to hurt them.

All in all after seeing all versions of The little red riding hood I truly believe this story is about sex.
