Tutorial Sources and Research to Consider

Some links for Angela Carter:


• Analysing the wolf as a symbol

• Can you find other definitions of a fairy tale to link with Marina Warner - varying angles - who is the moral tale for - does it inform or is it a way of oppressing also?

• Look at semiotic theory to analyse images or descriptions of the wolf - what does it represent culturally or traditionally? The wild? Masculinity? Danger (of men)? The unknown?

• Look at Grimm's version of the tale what are the differences in how the wolf is dealt with (modern version for children red riding hood escapes).

• Look at Angela Carter - The Bloody Chamber - A Company of Wolves - her version of red riding hood - men are hairy on the inside they are the dangerous ones not wolves.
