Gender plays an important and diverse role in folk tales. They often feature distinctive differences between the roles of males and females in society that emerge in the story. As stories were gradually altered as they were passed down from one generation to the next, so too was the way society treated each other's gender roles in their times. This is very evident in the many different versions of the Little Red Riding Hood tales as the story progresses. After careful examination of folktales, many connections can be made between characters and ideas about gender. In the story Little Red Riding Hood by the Brothers Grimm, the chain of events that happens in this story tells us something about how people thought about gender roles during the time it was written.

In conclusion, in Briffault's story, although women were not considered humble as in the other version, men were more ruthless and cruel.
