But the truth is that with every change, we lost the original intentionality, because every story contained a doctrine, a lesson that we should all follow. Many of them reflect the psychology of the period, their beliefs, their myths… all of them rooted in testimonies that wrapped them up in a certain “magical realism.” One of the oldest and maybe the most remarkable stories can be found in the tale of “Little Red Riding Hood.”Īccording to experts, this story is one that has undergone the most transformations since its origins, these changes always having the intention of “softening” some images so that a young audience could calmly listen to it.
