Return to Markowicz, Katrina
I'm going to be using the top two pictures to discuss how they show little red riding hood's purity from the story and modifies it to something wear she rips off the veal (or covers it up) of purity to gain confidence. She uses her sexuality as a dangerous method to entrap the wolf. This is interesting because it shows how in control she is of the situation, how she can take care of herself (you don't see a hunter in either picture), and in a way makes her a trickster (whereas the wolf is the trickster in the actual story).

These are REALLY interesting. Do they reinforce the stereotypes of the fairy tale or undermine them (with women whose sexuality is dangerous, just in different ways)?!?! Can't wait to see what you do with these!

I made some changes to this page on what I think I want to focus on before I come up with my concrete thesis. I find a lot of the visual elements (red/white, body position, and things that are clearly missing) to support my arguments, and none of those are in the original story. What does that mean for what the products are trying to sell? Empowerment and control helps sell their product.
