Τhe ‘Red Riding Hood’ is a charming, ‘innocent girl’ that the ‘Wolf’ ingests. According to the variance of the Grimm brothers, good forces like the ‘Ranger’, releases her from the belly of evil ‘Wolf’, whaterver this means. But the child understands the tale differently while growing. The ‘Red Riding Hood’ is not so innocent and the ‘Wolf’ is not so bad. The truth in this case is that both of them are incredibly human and go along with each other alternating roles. The common thing that brings them close to each other is their desire to meet. But strong forces originating from their darkness of their consciousness prevent this meeting. We would say that they are two contradictory elements that complement the human existence. Nevertheless, they clash with this complement, in other words their own selves, their very existence. So, they have to conflict not only with this entire suffocating system which surrounds them - iron frame - and which defines their lives dominantly but also with their own selves - passions, weaknesses, loneliness. A struggle which takes place in a predefined location and on set conditions, in the fabric of their microcosmos- wire netting. So, they live their short life, illiberally liberal because their liberty is actually restricted to this strictly limited, cold and powerful frame –well-polished metal.
