The document summarizes the evolution of the fairy tale "Little Red Riding Hood" from its origins in oral traditions to modern adaptations. It describes how early versions featured a werewolf instead of a wolf and how Charles Perrault popularized the story in 16th century France. Later, the Brothers Grimm added new elements like the hunter rescuing Little Red Riding Hood. Victorian versions focused on morality lessons. Modern adaptations reflect contemporary society and children's interests, depicting Little Red Riding Hood as clever or imaginative. Fairy tales continue influencing authors and audiences.

2. Girls’ & boys’
tales
 As you might know all fairy tales might be
subdivided into the fairy tales for boys and fairy tales
for girls.
 The tale under investigation is definitely of the last
type, it is sure to be intended to teach the girls
morality and behaviour.

3. Fairy-tales in the Modern World
The story of the girl called
Little Red Riding Hood arises
again and again so far. It was
first mentioned in Tirol and
the Alps —it was at least in
the XIV century

4. Some interesting
facts about the wolf
Initially in oral variations
of the fairy tale the wolf
was not a common
animal, but a werewolf.
This fact resulted in its
ability to speak in a
human voice and
perform the
grandmother.

5. Charles Perrault
In 1697 in Paris Charles
Perrault
took one of the variants
for a basis, presented
the anonymous girl with
a red cap and a hood
and she first got the
name — Little Red
Riding Hood.

6. .
Brothers Wilhelm and Jacob Grimm
changed the plot by adding the
hunter, rescuing Little Red
Riding Hood and her granny
from out of the wolf's belly and
the plot got much more cruelty
in itself.

7. FAIRY TALE DURING THE
VICTORIAN EPOCH
Literature during the Victorian
period took on a unique style
very much the opposite of its
predecessor. The main focus
of the tales from this time
became issues of morality.
There was almost always a
message that the reader
could take away from the
story (sort of similar to the
Aesop’s Fables of old). (Read
entire article.) Gunstvina Ariadna and Gorobec Anastasia .

8. Investigating Fairy Tales
• We came across a
peculiar version of the
tale published in 1867,
the project of
investigating fairy tales
being maintained by the
University of Southern
Mississippi, the USA

9. • The kids’ book was human-
like outlined, it resembled
the figure of the late
grandmother. It could not
but produce a wired effect
on a reader.

10. • Probably the Civil War in
America resulted in a higher
level of criminal events. That
demanded teaching girls not
only to obey but to learn to
take care of themselves. And
that also meant avoid
talking to strangers.

11. • This scary looking edition
produced the necessary
impression on the young
readers

12. Fairy tales have started coming back to the forefront
in television and on the big screen.
• Nowadays writers use them,
sometimes deliberately
inspiring the readers to get
their ideas with the help of the
plots beloved since childhood.
• E.g. “Hoodwinked!” and other
cartoons stories or horror films
or other movies.
Gunstvina Ariadna and Gorobec Anastasia .
Tutor: Saranceva I.G.

13. • Roald Dahl once created a joke that he
thought of no importance. It was a story of
that kind of Little Red Ridding Hood who could
kill the wolf with a pistol and wear a furry
wolfskin coat.
• All of a sudden the poem
gained popularity because in
the modern society there arose
a demand for strong
independent women. A movie
was shot on this plot.
Gunstvina Ariadna and Gorobec Anastasia .
Tutor: Saranceva I.G.

14. Politically Correct Fairy Tale
• There was another well-
known joke by Jim Garner,
where the girl drinks
maalox as she has got a
stomachache, and is
strongly concerned about
the environmental
problems.
Gunstvina Ariadna and Gorobec Anastasia .

15. How do you think
modern 6-year pupils
fancy Little Red Riding
Hood?
In one of the tales composed by
a girl of 12, the main character
is quite imaginative and makes
the wolf play ball, run around
the house, play tricks, and he
was too exhausted, he fell
asleep and forgot to gobble the
girl. Gunstvina Ariadna and Gorobec Anastasia .
Tutor: Saranceva I.G.

16. Little Red Bonnet
• One of the other variants depicts a
girl clever enough to threaten the
wolf with a liquid aspirin (it appeared
the wolves are allergic to aspirin). To
avoid it, the wolf gives up the idea of
•
gobbling the two humans and
provides them with money and two
tickets for the plane to Rhome. Little
Red Bonnet and her granny are quite
happy on their way to Italy.
Gunstvina Ariadna and Gorobec Anastasia .
Tutor: Saranceva I.G.

17. MODERN LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD
• The reason for these
alterations lies in the way
of life of the children. They
often get tired of doing
different jobs the elders
make them do, suffer from
headache and are
extremely exhausted by
the end of the day.

18. Conclusion
• The fairy tale plot influences
people because of the
emotions they preserve after
listening to these tales at the
early age.
It might be used by an author
with a view to strengthen the
impression he is going to
produce on the reader.

19. The “updated” fairy tales variants
• All the “updated” fairy
tales variants reflect the
demands and needs and
the peculiarities of the
concordant world.
• Thus, investigating the
fairy tales, we investigate
the world.

22. Appendix 1
• Little Red Hat
•
• Little Red Hat’s home was in the forest. And Little Red Hat had a granny. Little Red Hat went to granny’s house to bring a
cake for granny. But there was a wolf, who wanted to eat up Little Red Hat and the cake. He ran to granny’s house, caught
granny and closed her in the storeroom. Little Red Hat came to granny’s house and saw a “granny”. She understood, it was
the wolf, and she had a good idea.
• “Have you brought a cake for me?” – asked the wolf when Little Red Hat said “Hello”
• “Yes, but first let’s run around the house!” – answered Little Red Hat.
• And they ran.
• “Let’s play!” – said Little Red Hat then.
• And they played.
• “Let’s have a cup of tea!” – said Little Red Hat.
• And they drank tea. The wolf was going to eat up the cake, but Little Red Hat put it in her bag.
• “Let’s sing a song!” – said Little Red Hat, but the wolf was sleeping. He was very tired.
• Little Red Hat opened the storeroom and made granny free.
• Granny and Little Red Hat took the sleeping wolf, put him on to their shoulders like a collar (he was very heavy), went to the
town and gave up the wolf to the zoo.

23. Appendix 2
• Little Red Bonnet1.
• Little Red Bonnet lived in a house, which was in a forest. A terrible wolf lived in this forest, he was always hungry and he
wanted to eat Little Red Bonnet up. Little Red Bonnet had a granny. Her granny often had a horrible headache and the girl
brought liquid aspirin to her every week. But the wolf found the granny’s house, caught granny and decided to tie her up. He
could eat the granny up, but she was old and not tasty. Little Red Bonnet knew nothing about the wolf’s plans. But when she
came to the house, she looked up at the window and saw the wolf. After that she understood everything.
• But then she had a good idea. She knew all wolves are allergic to aspirin. She opened the door and said, “Hi, Granny, how
are you? You aren’t OK. Are you? You must drink the liquid aspirin!” Little Red Bonnet showed a bottle of aspirin. “No, no, I
am not your granny! I am a wolf! If I drink this medicine, I’ll die!” “If you buy me a sport car and a new mobile phone, I’ll
forgive you. If you don’t do it, I’ll make you drink the aspirin!” she shook the bottle of aspirin in front of his eyes. The wolf
was trembling. “You have rich ancestors, haven’t you?” asked the girl. “OK, I’ll do it. I promise. But I want you to be my
friend. And I’ll buy three tickets to any city for you,” said the wolf. “It is a good idea”, answered Little Red Bonnet.
• In an hour Little Red Bonnet, her elderly granny and the wolf were sitting on the sofa and were drinking tea.
• “Let’s fly to Rhome!” said the wolf. – “Rhome is wonderful!” answered Little Red Bonnet.
• “Thфere are many brilliant hospitals in Rhome!” said granny.
• Three hours later they were in an aeroplane and were very happy.
