Big Bad Wolf/Red Riding Hood Budd Root created this cartoon titled “Big Bad Wolf/Red Riding Hood. This is a social cartoon that could be for pure entertainment. But, I think it is meant for more of an adult audience. Still, this cartoon could also be a representation of how Root sees the tale Little red Riding Hood. The cartoon has a very sexual appeal with a beast like figure. The wolf looks as if he wants to devour red riding hood and from the persona of riding hood one may not blame him for having this desire. In this cartoon, there are the two main characters; the wolf and Red Riding Hood. Usually red riding hood is “little” but in this cartoon, however, she is resembling a woman who is comfortable revealing herself and showing lots of skin. She is not depicted as innocent and naive but more seductive and mature. Her cape does not cover the majority of her body and her clothing underneath is very slim.

In the Little Red Riding Hood, the main character is a girl who is on a journey to her grandmother’s house. She could be called a hero because she defeats the wolf and then escape. For example, in the story The False Grandmother there was the ogress who was portrayed as the wolf. The little girl, outsmarted the wolf and he was not able to go after her when she started to run back home. The girl saved herself, unfortunately she was too late to save her grandmother. In this story, the little girl had a lot on her shoulders and she was in the woods alone. Thinking about how that went about she is the true definition of a heroine. She was able to defeat the “scary villain” even being alone. She had to learn the task to overcome through the midst of trouble. 
In the tales Hansel and Gretel, the children are heroes because they save one another from being harmed. In most versions of the tale, one of the children leave a trail of whatever they have so they can remember their way back home. However, when they came across the witch they have to try and get each other back to safety. The sister was a major help to the brother because she saved him from dying. There are also certain tales where the children return home with different gifts that have collected on their voyage and gives it to the father because they are poor.
