Morality
The numerous versions of Little Red Riding Hood have undergone many
modifications in their moral message. All are consistent with the obvious theme
dont talk to strangers," but simultaneously address differing issues consistent with
the ideals of their era. The stories have also varied in their degree of ambiguity in
delivering this moral. Unlike Perraults version which is delivered with an addition of
text at the end of the story entitled Moral, leaving little uncertainty of his intended
meaning, other tales do not employ such measures (Zipes 744). Perraults Little
Red Riding Hood warns girl of the danger of conversing with inappropriate suitors,
who may mislead such young maidens into partaking in improper acts of sexuality.
The preceding tale The Story of Grandmother, has a less explicit message, but
may have served as a warning tale to children to be weary of predation from males
or bzous. The Grimms adapt their tale to a new audience and a new moral. They
emphasize the importance of listening and being obedient to ones parents. The

Grimms Little Red Riding Hood promises to do everything right to her mother but
fails to head the advice by wandering off the path and subsequently winds up
trapped in the belly of a beast. At the end of the story, upon being saved, Little Red
Riding Hood declares Never again will I leave the path and run off into the wood
when my mother tells me not to (11). While Perraults moral was eventually
eliminated from the tale, its message remains today in our reference to men who
chase women as wolves (Orenstein). In general, as the story gained popularity, it
became more socialized and questions of morality more refined.
