umm the original versions of little red riding hood were pretty explicit (not the “cleaned up” Grimm’s version). The red hood = symbol for a woman’s coming of age. Wolf = sexual predator. In some versions she sleeps with the wolf before he eats her. In another the wolf makes her eat some of her grandmothers meat and blood (cannibalizing). Plus she isn’t saved by some do gooding passerby hunter. It was clearly a story to scare young girls to stay away from creepy guys. Most of the early fairy tales were pretty violent (putting someone in a barrel of nails, rolling them down a hill to a lake to drown) etc.
All the good ideas are in children's stories! That is just crazy.
