Abstract
This essay explores the symbolic meaning of red and blue of Little Red Riding Hood and Blue Beard written by C. Perrault in analytical psychology. The heroines who face psychological difficulties subvert their fear, discovering animus to the journey to individuation. This approach would outweigh the existing interpretation of the female protagonists as victims of male power. Red and blue of two works have mainly interpreted from a negative perspective by critics because they believed Parrault contributed to strengthen the patriarchal vision. Laying the groundwork for reinterpreting the female protagonists from the point of view of C. Jung's analytical psychology, I will explore how ‘Red’ in Little Red Riding Hood and ‘Blue’ in Blue Beard correlate with creative animus and destructive one in the work respectively.
