However, if we relate the child's mind (and copyrights), then the original happy ending of the Brothers Grimm good triumphed downright Teen with cruelty. Unpicked the belly of the wolf's misfortunes do not end there. "Good girl," advised me to fill the wolf's stomach with stones and sew (even dragged herself to this material). Children's retellings of this, of course, again silence.
As for the origins of the story trust in Csete Zurich booksellers Waldmann, many years collecting all sorts of exhibits relating to "Little Red Riding Hood." So, Waldman argue that the oldest version of the tale belongs to the XV century. Apparently, he was even gloomier than the versions of Perrault and Grimm. There, the wolf eats not only the grandmother, but also half the village, and the heroine, sprinkled with ashes on his head, announces gray robber this vendetta. In the end, she lures the killer into a pit of boiling tar.
Soon, the plot has changed, and the trap had already began to lure the wolf, eloquently plays the role of cunning men seducer. A victim, respectively, Acquires coquettish red cap. Many of those who try to practice on the analysis of fairy tales, often wonder - why the wolf had not eaten Riding Hood back in the woods? Yes, because, given the inherent in the tale allegory, it would be murder "in humans" (Perrault and wrote: "... in the woods were lumberjacks"), rather than by craft. The purpose of the wolf - to deceive, to approach the victim by impersonating someone. Decoupling occurs only when the "lost vigilance" heroine suddenly groping for a "dear grandmother" teeth, and the offender is fully disclosed.
On the second question - why is the cap climbs to her grandmother in bed? - You can reply too. First, in those days, the family commoners often slept all in one bed, and secondly - taking into account the role of wolf-seducer, the bed looks like a fairy tale quite organically. This finally confirms the morality of the Perrot:
"Little kids, not without reason (and only in particular the girls, the beautiful and mischievous child), the way encountering all sorts of men who can not listen to the speeches of artful - Otherwise, the wolf can eat them. I said: a wolf! Volkov did not find it, but between them there are other Dodger so crafty, What, exuding a sweet flattery, Maiden's honor guard, accompanied to the house of their walk, spend their bye-bye to the dark corners ... But Wolf, alas, what seems a modest, yet he is always evil and terrible ".
Incidentally, the early drawings Red Riding Hood - quite took shape girl, and certainly not the puhloschekaya baby, who drew G. Dore in puritanical XIX century. The sexual subtext of a fairy tale has gained popularity during the Freudian interpretations. And we have already quoted E. Berne saw in the story even ... a woman's conspiracy against the Wolf. This, of course, makes sense only in the version of the Brothers Grimm.
"If we take the result as he is in fact, everything in general - the intrigue, the network which caught the unfortunate wolf: he was forced to imagine a wheeler-dealer, able to fool anyone by using the girl as bait. Then the moral of the plot may be not that little girls should stay away from the forest, where wolves and that wolves should stay away from girls, who seem naive, and their grandmothers. In short: the wolf can not be a walk in the woods alone. When This raises another interesting question: what makes a mother sending her daughter to her grandmother for a whole day? ".
