Abstract

Authors express in their work the context in which they are inserted. It was no different for Perrault, as when he wrote Little Red Riding Hood in 1697, he expressed elements of French society, its habits and values, particularly the model of a woman who should be emulated: beautiful, innocent, who should resist worldly temptations, at the risk of paying with her life for giving in to her desires. Using Perrault's tale as a basis, as well as the retelling by Marcus Aurelius Pimenta and José Roberto Torero in Chapeuzinhos Coloridos from 2010, this essay explores the changing role of women in family and society over time. The specific objectives are to investigate the origins and structure of traditional and contemporary tales (Coelho, 1982, 2000, 2012; Khéde, 1986; Pondé, 1985; Propp, 2001), to investigate the history of feminism and gender criticism (Beauvoir, 2016; Butler, 2019; Scott, 2019) and explore the female representation in the original and contemporary books (Bettelheim, 1978; Tatar, 2004; Darnton, 1986, Franz, 1981, 1985; Corso; Corso, 2006). The study is therefore intended to identify ways to answer the question that prompted this work by comparing the characters and showing that, despite many changes, reflection must remain permanent to build an increasingly egalitarian society.
