Little Red Cap Analisys

   1.  Who was punished? Why are they punished? What does this say about males?

The character in Little Red Cap that was punished was the Wolf because he tried to eat the grandmother and Red Riding Cap herself. This says that males are a big threat to young girls and that girls can be defenceless against them.

   2.  Who is rewarded? Why are they rewarded? What does this say about females?

Little Red Cap and grandmother are rewarded because they are saved from the wolves stomach and get to live. Red Cap was rewarded because she was saved by the Huntsman just in time and also because she promises afterwards never walk off the path ever again and to always obey her mother. This says that females will get rewarded in the end if they do as they are told and stay obedient.

   3.  What is the role of men in this fairytale? What does this say about male's attitudes and personality? What does it say about the power of men?

There are two men in the fairytale. Their is the Wolf and the Huntsman. The Wolf is the character that try's to eat the Grandmother and Little Red Cap, and the Huntsman is the character that saves them from him. This story makes out that the personalities of men (according to the wolf) are that they shouldn't be fully trusted and that they can be in some instances very dangerous, but and the same time (according the the Huntsman) you need them as well because they are the ones who save you. This is making men seem very powerful and dominant as they seem to be able to both hurt women greatly, but then save their lives.
