Abstract
In many classic fairytales, the wolf has received a bad reputation for being the evil carnivorous and ravenous creature that wants nothing more than to eat young innocent children. However, this is not exactly true, while the wolf may be the villain in Fairytales collected and retold by Charles Perrault and the Brothers Grimm, medieval stories of benevolent werewolves have existed, for example The Romance of William of Palerne, and the famous lais by Marie de France, Bisclavret. In this analysis we will explore the changing role of Little Red Riding Hood and the more static role of the wolf. As society progresses and evolves, so does the fairytale of Little Red Riding Hood. In this chapter we will follow the many different versions of this classic fairytale and how Little Red Riding Hood seems to shift and transform from victim to villain, ultimately resulting in the little girl filling the role of neither the victim nor the villain.
