Realistic fairy tales (part two)

This is the second part now of "realistic fairy tales". This is a new project where I will be talking about characters from fairy tales that describes real people. Do you think you can identify with the following characters? Do you have their traits? Can you identify with more than one character? Look at the characters, their traits, which could match your own. 

 Red Riding Hood
A well known story that warns of stranger-danger. This is by the Brothers Grimm, who have  given us this version from an even older oral traditional story. If you can identify with Red Riding Hood, then these are traits. She's youthful and most of all enjoys walking, hiking and the outdoors. She wants to heal,, as she's tender and caring. However, she's also very trusting and overlooks problems. What she really needs is Caution. 

 Rapunzel



This is a tricky story by the Brothers Grimm. Rapunzel is a maiden locked up in a tall tower but her hair is so long that she uses it as a rope. It isn't just about her long hair. Rapunzel represents being imprisoned and emotions that go with it such as loneliness, solitude and helplessness for this sense of feeling trapped. She has hidden talents and remarkable abilities. In a way she might come across as distant and aloof to others. What Rapunzel needs is Independence.

(More to follow soon...)

She Wolf Night

The graphics were made by the She Wolf Night team using various dress up graphic games.
