The cartoon that I chose is a social one. It shows the
wolf from “Little Red Riding Hood” or “Little Red Cap” lying on a chair in a
psychiatrist’s office. The caption reads “I understand your motive for eating
the grandmother, but why did you feel you needed to dress up in her clothes?” I
chose this cartoon in particular, not only because it is funny, but also
because it made me think of one of the presentations from class. The
presentation talked about Perrault’s view of the wolf. In the presentation, I
learned that the wolf actually wants to explore the feminine mysteries of
fertility and that is why he eats Little Red and the grandmother. Because of
what I learned in the presentation, I also think that the reason that the wolf
dressed up in the grandmother’s clothes was because he wanted to explore the
feminine mysteries. Because of this prior knowledge, I was able to answer the
question of why the wolf dressed in the grandmother’s clothes in my head.
