The old woman, who’s been eaten by a young woman represents the replacement of the obsolete by the new. For example, the wolf represents the sexual and violent world. The symbolism is implicit in each character. She must take off all of her clothes and burn them in the fire one by one, then lie down next to her on the bed. The grandmother then gives her another order. Little Red Riding Hood agrees and hungrily devours the meat. The grandmother tells the young woman to put away the milk and bread and to eat the meat in the kitchen that’s been prepared for her. However, it’s then that the changes come. Nevertheless, the young woman manages to cross the forest and happily enters her grandmother’s house, who’s in bed because she’s ill. Something that Little Red Riding Hood already knows and that she must face. This animal symbolizes savagery and the irrational. It also signifies a test, like a rite of passage symbolizing a child’s move into the world of adults. The forest represents danger, a risk zone for young people. Nevertheless, we need to analyze each gesture and image in this particular version. As you can see, so far there aren’t too many variations with the original story. She must cross a forest to bring bread and milk to her grandmother. This young woman receives an order from her family.
