“Little Red Riding Hood” or “Little Red Cap” - 2023 BHSU @ Waterloo

Question

An extended comparison between this story and the Little Golden Book Tootle the Engine ends Bruno Bettelheim's analysis of it in The Uses of Enchantment. In a French version of this story, the protagonist is presented with a choice between the path of pins and the path of needles by a bzou (b'ZOO). The earliest precursor to this story, which appears in Egbert of Liège's Fecunda ratis (feh-KOON-dah RAH-teess), was the basis for the last of the three adaptations of this story that end Angela (*) Carter's (10[1])The (-5[1])Bloody Chamber. Parallels are often drawn between Loki's responses to Thrymr's questions about Freyja in the Thrymskvida (THRIMZ-k'VEE-dah) and a section of this story that abruptly (-5[1])ends Charles Perrault's (sharl peh-ROH's) version. The Brothers Grimm include (0[1])the savior figure of the huntsman in, for 10 points, what European fairy tale in which the title character's grandmother (10[1])is eaten by a wolf? ■END■
