If you were to re write the story with today's values here are some points that would change: Little Red would never have been allowed to walk that far by herself, The wolf would have to register as a child predator, Reds family would be charged with neglect on two charges, 1 leaving the elderly alone while sick. 2 let Red out in the Woods alone., The woodsman would be up on breaking and entering even though his intentions were good. The PETA people would be furious with him. The wolf would also have to register as a cross dresser, and he would be up on breaking and entering.

Stranger danger. A small child is sent on her own through the forest. She is a good child, from a good family that cares for its elderly, that becomes aware all is not as it should be - there is a child murdered in granny's bed. Luckily wood choppers are great fella's and rescue little girls from bad wolves. Animal rights groups would have gone crazy! The wolf would have got off the charge (insane cross dresser) and be deemed the poor victim in todays world. The parents would lose custody of red for not supervising her and the wood chopper would have lost his job for aggravated assault with a weapon.

its a great tale of letting the elderly live on there own and cross generations caring for each other. that home made gifts are best and innocence or ignorance of the dangers around us can be misleading but it does not mean death. The wolf...evil...danger...whatever is there but there is always someone...hunter with ax to look out for you giving you help where you least expect when all hope is lost...being swallowed by a wolf yet still rescuced. yeah!triumph to the sweet and innocent in the cruel ugly world.

LRR.
A story about following 'the law' or the 'path'.
The dangers of being 'the fool' and venturing into unchartered territory- metaphor, the woods.
The opportunist - the wolf. also the shadow side of self & the impulse??yeh man...
Also I suppose the woodcutter/hero represents the possibility of salvage after misadventure.
Human rights? Human nature more like.
But for humanrights/ politics r u getting at
red RH-normal innocent little person
wolf-outcast
woodcutter-intervention
or wolf -opportunist
basket of food-oil/land ??? I dunno could interpret in MANY ways.

The moral of this story is the big bad wolf had big eyes because he was shiting in the forest!

Wasn't this just a story about scaring kids into not talking to strangers?
