Red riding hood


In the real Red Riding Hood a wolf wants to eat the girl but is scared to do so in public. Red riding hood is carrying a basket collecting flowers. Just like in the story " E " in the first comic the author shows a little girl roaming around a lonely city that looks scary. In the real Red Riding Hood the famous girl that wears the red dress looks and seems innocent meanwhile in the comic "E" the girl sounds wild and scary. For example in Red Riding Hood she would hang out in clam daylight areas while in "E" she would hang out in scary dark lonely places and carry weapons that would hurt anybody. I think the author used red riding hood as an evil character in "E" because he wanted to show something different from the real version.

     Also in the original story of Red Riding Hood the little country girl lived in a village and had a mother that was excessively found of her. Her grandmother doted on her still more that they had made the red hood for her. It suited the little girl so well that everybody called her Little Red Riding Hood. In the comic "E" the girl that appears to be similar to Little Red Riding Hood looks and sounds very different from her. In the comic she appears with dark black hair looking like an old lady merely existing with little hope for any future. But in the original story of Red Riding Hood the little girl looks like a little girl whose just starting to live her life, perhaps on the cusp of teenage years. Also in the comic "E" Red Riding Hood appears to be fighting with a horrifying monster, similar to the original where she is dealing with the wolf.
      
     To conclude, both novels are portrayed differently. In the original one she's very sensitive as a person and she is wondering around a clam world picking flowers etc. on a mission to grandma’s house. Meanwhile in "E" she is fighting evil stuff and carrying weapons. She also appears as an angry woman when she says "ARGGHH" in big red letters. I think the author chose Red Riding Hood and decided to portray her as an evil person to show two different personalities and different images. In perspective these two images of the same yet very different persons appeal to two different audiences.
