The fairy tale about the Little Red Riding Hood the psychologist's eyes #8 (the SECOND option). Competition "My Favourite Fairy Tale"

Expensive maycharmelk, most of you did not like my first analysis of the fairy tale about the Little Red Riding Hood though in essence it was very positive, and all images were were designated in the form of symbols of transformation of the girl into the woman in healthy option. Without violence. As the woman who endured the most severe violence at the early age I managed to get rid completely of consequences of that old trauma and gave chance to the main character of the famous fairy tale to endure another, happy, experience. In it, by the way, the great curative force of literary psychotherapy is. but I will tell about this method somehow later.

In today's option of analysis I will describe more widespread version of interpretation of the fairy tale about the Little Red Riding Hood, but I will adhere to the, but not others insights. For what do I do the second analysis of the same fairy tale? To show as the CHOSEN POINT OF VIEW on an event, the work, the character, changes our ATTITUDE towards them. Not only psychologists, but also mass media use it, forming by means of myths and fakes on the set scenarios the relation to the historical past, to concrete events and persons.

Pay attention that I will quote the same fragments from the original fairy tale which all of us well know. And today I will explain the fairy tale, representing that the fairy tale is written for my little grandsons, and this fairy tale to them is read by their parents.

Once upon a time there was in one village the girl of beauty unprecedented: mother loved it to distraction, and the grandmother and that is more.

This beginning of the fairy tale says that parents, grandmothers and grandfathers have to love certainly the children and grandsons, forming at them since the childhood feeling of by beloved and beautiful children. It is very important, in the early childhood the mentality of the child is formed and the scenario of future life is put.

I as the psychologist am guarded by a phrase "without memory". To love to distraction is a marker of the sozavisimy relations when between mother and the child the power umbilical cord is not cut off. It makes mother excessively controlling, and the child - infantile and inclined to a viktimnost.

However in the fairy tale mother of the Little Red Riding Hood manages to cut off this umbilical cord because it, leaving control, healthy and relevant to age of the daughter, in general trains it in independence and responsibility, trusting such important issue as delivery for the sick beloved grandmother of pies.

Time mother baked pies and speaks to the daughter:
- Descend guide you the grandmother, she feels unwell. Yes carry her pies and a pot of oil. Look only in the forest do not stop and to anybody do not talk.

It is very important fragment of the fairy tale. It speaks about responsibility of parents to explain to the child about potentially possible dangers, about need to protect the persons borders and to avoid communication with strangers. Presently safety issues of children cover not only the street, but also a cyberspace. The girl, as well as all children, heard mother, but as reached business, forgot all her councils. It means that kind of well and correctly parents did not bring up the child, she will fill all the same the cones, to make mistakes and to acquire own life experience.

But in such situations, sending the child of one to the world where there are angry and dangerous people, parents have to be extremely careful and persistent in that the child learned the lesson of safety and knew how to behave if the situation after all gets out of hand.




Well, let's track how the scenario when the child did not learn this lesson of safety, to be exact, when mother did not explain how to behave in an unpredictable situation will develop.

It on a forest footpath and here meets requirements of her a wolf. The wolf wanted was it to eat and was afraid because the knock of woodcutters was nearby heard. Here he also asks:
- Where do you go, the Little Red Riding Hood?
The poor girl forgot that it is dangerous to stop and talk in the forest to wolves, and answers it:
- I go to the grandmother; I bear her pies yes an oil pot.

The wolf personifies the adult and potentially dangerous man here. It can be the criminal, the maniac, mentally unhealthy person. The storyteller hints us that the wolf was hungry, so this is the character anyway in this or that look was going to satisfy some bad requirement at the expense of the innocent child.

But for luck the girl who forgot all manuals of mother the dangerous man was distracted by sounds of presence of other people, and the wolf did not become, but decided to hype and catch two hares in the insatiable belly at once. Directly serial killer, as it happens also in real life.

As the psychologist I see in the character of a wolf of line of the dangerous, prudent psychopath which everything counts and is capable to impress most favourably, finding out weak spots of the potential victim. The sincere and naive child - desired production for such psychopath, but as well as most of psychopaths, he creates advantageous for him a mnogokhodovochka, lulling into a false sense of security the Little Red Riding Hood, and creating illusion of the empatichny person ("I will go I will visit the grandmother"), and illusion of cooperation, the joint business uniting competitions ("we will look which of us will quicker reach"). Nothing unites so strong as a competition. However, the girl did not begin to compete, and continued a way slowly in the rhythm. It says about its emotionally harmonious state.

- You know, - the wolf says to her: - I will go and I will visit your grandmother. - I will go this road, and you go on that: let's look which of us will quicker reach.
And the wolf took to the heels very much on the shortest road, and the girl started wandering slowly on the longest. On the way she collected bouquets and sang songs

Though many mistakenly perceive the Little Red Riding Hood as the typical victim, I tend to consider it psychologically healthy girl insufficiently careful owing to the age, but it was not led on wolf provocations. And it remained nothing else how to finish the criminal mnogokhodovochka, using masks and deception.

So, the wolf deceives the grandmother, commits over her senseless violence, and arranges a trap for the child.

Then he locked a door, settled in a grandmother's bed and began to wait the Little Red Riding Hood who reached a grandmother's lodge after a while and was knocked:
- Tuk, tuk.
- Who there?
Having heard a rough voice, the Little Red Riding Hood at first was frightened, but having thought that probably at the grandmother the voice got hoarse because of a disease, answered:
- It I, the granddaughter your, Little Red Riding Hood, brought you pies yes an oil pot.
The wolf shouted as soon as could by a thin voice:
- Pull a string, a door itself and will open.
The Little Red Riding Hood pulled a string, the door opened. When the girl entered, the wolf muffled properly in a blanket that she did not recognize him, and says:
- Put pie yes an oil pot somewhere, and go lie down with me, have a rest after the journey.

It is easy to deceive the child because the happy and loved by parents children on the one hand become psychologically healthy people, with another, they have a vulnerable line, such Achilles' heel - unconditional trust to the world. Psychopaths also use it, choosing themselves in the victims the most pure souls.

The Little Red Riding Hood lay down nearby and asks:
- The grandmother, the grandmother, and why you have such big hands?
- It, the granddaughter that more strong to embrace you.
- The grandmother, the grandmother, and why you have such large ears?
- It, the granddaughter that better to hear you.
- The grandmother, the grandmother, and why you have such big eyes?
- It, the granddaughter that it is better to see you.
- The grandmother, the grandmother, and why you have such big teeth?
- And it that to eat you!

Apparently the girl did not see the grandmother long ago, but kind of the wolf did not mask, the girl understands that something not so, and she tries to understand it normally, properly. The wolf as the real psychopath plays with the girl as a cat with a mouse. And how the Little Red Riding Hood will expose his lie (everything inevitably goes to it), the wolf throws off all the masks and finds a true mask of a dangerous Predator.

And with these the angry wolf used words lightly on the Little Red Riding Hood and swallowed her. It is good that during that time in the forest woodcutters worked. They heard noise and ran into the house where they rushed to a wolf at once and killed him. Released the Little Red Riding Hood and the grandmother. Both were whole and safe.

Fortunately, surrounding people whom the storyteller represents as active woodcutters find out in time that in the house of the grandmother there is a crime, and they disarm the psychopath, saving both the Little Red Riding Hood, and her grandmother at the last minute. Both steels the victims of the psychopath accidentally, but not because "attracted" the villain. The villain chose them because only psychopaths take sadistichesky pleasure, destroying in literal and figurative sense of life of people around, and such destructive people get the special perverted joy, destroying life of empatichny and kind people.




In such interpretation the fairy tale in any centuries and times teaches parents before sending the child to independent life, to be convinced that the child acquired safety rules. And children the fairy tale learns to protect and protect the personal borders, not to get into conversations with strangers who can pretend to be harmless and lovely and listen to reasonable councils of the loving and careful parents.
