She is very inexperienced with what goes on in the forest and knowledge of wolves which makes her a very
Little Red Riding Hood and The Company of Wolves Subversions are intended to upset expectations and recreate the original version for different reasons. In modern times, many subversions have been created such as The Wonderful Wizard of Oz and Wicked or Sleeping Beauty and Maleficent; in these cases, the revision was done in order to give another perspective to a situation.
