The Path: Response

One thing that really stood out to me was the character whose name I believe was Scarlet.  I'm not quite sure if I remember her name correctly.  She had long black hair and red and black striped stockings on one leg; on the other leg was a leg brace.  I will call her Scarlet however, and hope that I am correct.  My favorite thing about Scarlet is the symbolism of her growing up right before your eyes.  When she goes into the woods, she is viewed as a little girl; however, when she finds the park and there is a handsome blonde man sitting on a bench nearby, all innocence seems to go away.  She sits next to the man and smokes the cigarette that he offers her.  I think that this must be symbolism of the girl losing her innocence or maybe even her virginity.  The entire idea of Little Red Riding Hood is that of a girl coming of age and wandering off the path to make her own mistakes.  Therefore, I believe that this snippit of the game is very well put together and symbollically sufficient.
