The Werewolf Response

I initially thought that this story was interesting since it is a spin off of "Little Red Riding Hood."  However, the following paragraph on page 109 completely shocked me: "But it was no longer a wolf's paw.It was  a hand, chopped off at the writs, a hand toughened with work and freckled with old age.  There was a wedding ring on the third finger and  a ward onthe index finger.  By the wart,she knew it for her grandmother's hand."  I found this quite shocking since it is a complete twist from the original plotline of "Little Red Riding Hood."  Instead of the wolf devouring the little girl's grandmother, the girl's grandmother is wolf.  I really like the idea of this twist to the story.  I find it very ironic since the original story revolves around the wolf impersonating the grandmother whereas in Angela Carter's version of the story is basically the grandmother being one with the wolf.  While the grandmother is the victim in the original story, she is now both villian and victim all at once.  I just found that amazingly interesting.
