Cruel Fairytale

The cannibalism In the earlier version the antagonist is sometimes a werewolf or an ogre. In its medieval version, the wolf leaves some of the grandmother's blood and meat that he had eaten for Little Red Riding Hood to eat. The girl then cannibalized or own grandmother unknowingly. This cannibalism part had been omitted from later versions. The redness of the hood. Why the hood is red? The redness of the hood had been given many symbolic interpretations by folklorist and anthropologist. Some said that the red hood represents the bright sun and the wolf represents the night. When the girl safely escapes from the wolf, it represents the coming of May, the spring season escaping the winter. Other folklorist argued that according to the moral of the middle ages, the red color is a symbol that the girl has come of age., a symbol of sexual awakening. The wolf then symbolizes a man or predator who seduces the girl. The wolf tricks the girl and eats her up. In this case, the story is about rape. In the earliest French version, Little Red Riding Hood is even asked to undress and gets into bed with the wolf before the wolf finally eats her. The fate of the Red Little Riding Hood and the Wolf In the earlier version, the wolf eats the grandmother. After disguising himself as the grandmother, the wolf successfully eats the little girl too. There is no happy ending. The girl is dead, end of the story. A tragic end for the girl. The storyline is simple and cruel. I have no idea if this is a real ending of Red Little Riding Hood. But i know that Little Mermaid's original ending was that she killed herself for the sake of the Prince's happiness. I'm really addicted to IU's Cruel Fairytale, it really sounded so .. Cruel. HAHA , nice rhythm! Very creepy. |
