Deconstructing Little Red: Angela Carter’s Feminist Revision in ‘The Company of Wolves

Deconstructing Little Red: Angela Carter’s Feminist Revision in ‘The Company of Wolves

How does Angela Carter’s “The Company of Wolves” challenge the traditional “Little Red Cap”  tale of the Brothers Grimm? Write a paragraph (roughly 8-10 sentences) that responds to this question. You may want to consider each tale’s storyline and language.

Notes:

(1) I don’t expect you to have mastered the Carter tale, but I do expect you to have read and thought about it. There is no right or wrong way to approach this assignment. Have the courage to think for yourself!

(2) By “challenge” I mean: questions, and presents something different

(3) You may concern the variant ending of the Grimm tale, but are not required to do so.
