There are many similarities that Isabelle C. Chang’s “The Chinese Red Riding Hoods” has with other stories in its tale type. There is a wolf‚ dressed as an old woman; a mother who gives her daughter instruction and advice; and a female protagonist facing danger and learning a lesson.

The text The Company of Wolves is a very risqué take on the classic story of Little Red Riding Hood. The text is very sexually suggestive in its use of language and descriptions of the main character. It is also very traditional and conservative in its presentation of gender stereotypes and roles. The main characters virginity is described as ‘the invisible pentacle of her own virginity. She is an unbroken egg‚ she is a sealed vessel; she has inside her a magic space the entrance to which is shut
