Content Warning: Little Red Riding Hood or Little Red-Cap contains violence and gore. It is also an allegory for the dangers of seduction and the importance of minding one's elders. To quote another storyteller, Charles Perault, who adapted the tale over 100 years before the Brothers Grimm, "Children, especially attractive, well bred young ladies, should never talk to strangers, for if they should do so, they may well provide dinner for a wolf. I say, 'wolf,' but there are various kinds of wolves. There are also those who are charming, quiet, polite, unassuming, complacent, and sweet, who pursue young women at home and in the streets. And unfortunately, it is these gentle wolves who are the most dangerous ones of all."
Content warning: Rapunzel contains violence, child abuse, dubious consent, and mentions of pregnancy and childbirth.
