I think it's a modern take. The original 'Little Red Riding Hood' has been around for a long time with its own set of values and plot. The 'cannibal' aspect is not part of the original. It could be a way for modern storytellers to break free from the traditional mold. They might want to add a sense of horror or make people think about the characters in a completely different way. Maybe it's also a reaction to the over - familiarity of the original, trying to create something that stands out and makes people look at the story anew.
Yes, it could be. Many modern versions take the basic elements of the original 'Little Red Riding Hood' story and add a love story element to it, making it more appealing to contemporary audiences.
The setting in a 'Little Red Riding Hood' adaptation can vary greatly. It could be set in a modern city instead of the traditional forest. Little Red Riding Hood might be a young girl on her way to visit her grandmother in an apartment block. This modern - day setting can bring new challenges and twists to the story, like dealing with traffic or strangers in the city.
In the traditional Red Riding Hood story, it's the big bad wolf. But in the 'little bad wolf and red riding hood story', the wolf is little. Maybe the little bad wolf is not as intimidating as the big one. Also, the plot might be adjusted according to the change of the wolf's size. For example, the little bad wolf may not be able to physically overpower Red Riding Hood as easily as the big bad wolf in the original story.
A common change is the ending. Sometimes, instead of the wolf being killed, he is reformed. It makes the story less violent and more about forgiveness.
In the 'Little Red Riding Hood and Other Perverse Stories', there are likely more complex and perhaps darker themes. While the traditional story mainly focuses on the basic moral of not talking to strangers, this version might dig deeper into the characters' psyches and motives.
