In the Arne-Thompson (AT) classification the “Little Red Riding Hood” tale is number 333 “Supernatural Opponents.” In earliest analogues to the one we have read, the wolf is sometimes depicted as a werewolf, half man half wolf.
It is when the man is in wolf state that in some versions he tries to eat and have sex with Little Red Riding Hood.
Is the tale more clearly understood when it becomes more overtly a story of man’s inner animal unleashed? Or perhaps even a supernatural opponent (AT) and not of this world?
