Omg...the meaning "eat" is the meaning that i know...like not consume or eat but "EAT"?? G...

Did you know that that's the meaning the original little red riding hood was using? Not the literal meaning of "eat" but the other meaning. That's why English professors at my uni are always telling English majors, "Little Red Riding Hood is a cautionary tale kiddos, not a fairy tale."

So u mean little red riding hood is originally a dark story...like R-rated one??? Omg...i didn't know that..
I just guess it

Yeah, the OG Little Red Riding Hood was R-Rated but had to be cutesified so it could be told to children (⊙…⊙ )

For instance, the wolf? He was never a literal wolf too. He was actually a grown man throughout the story. He was called a wolf because that's just another term for a man who doesn't care about anything but his sexual urges. A rapist, so to speak.

It's heavy symbolism, because while a wolf can be seen as a protector and a warrior, it can also be seen as someone who is always hungry in both literal and non literal ways.

Think of how we call people who love to read books as bookworms, or how we see owls as someone who is really smart and knowledgeable, or we see a snake and think of a backstabber, or how we call a girl catty because she's acting moody like a cat.

That's how the story goes, nothing about it was cute. It just had a literal wolf in it so kids wouldn't get TOO scared. It also goes to show that rapists don't care who they attack. People are always saying how the victim had it coming because she's a young woman and she should have known guys would go after her. This story is literally telling you that rapists don't care about how you look. You can be a little girl and you can be an old, sick woman and they'll still "eat" you. They just feed off of fear, and that's also why red riding hood and grandma didn't die after getting "eaten" by the wolf. They were in his legit stomach in some stories until the huntsman came and chopped him open and then killed him. And both ladies were fine despite all that lol

....... That's all I wanted to share, sorry I talked so much.
