Angela Carter’s “The Company of Wolves”
Discuss the themes of gender stereotypes and representation in Charles Perrault’s original “Little Red Riding Hood” and Angela Carter’s “The Company of Wolves.” First, how do the characters in Perrault’s story conform to gender stereotypes? Next, what criticism about masculinity and male violence might Carter be making in her story through her depiction of the male characters, especially those who are werewolves? Carter’s version of Little Red Riding Hood is very different from Perrault’s: What female gender stereotypes does she not conform to? By using a combination of intelligence and sexuality at the end to save herself, what might Carter be suggesting about how women’s intelligence and sexuality are frequently portrayed, especially by men?
