Avetrana's tragedy, where a girl of fifteen years on August 26 was strangled, raped and hidden in a pit in the open country by an uncle-beast, confessed, and found forty-one days after , proposes the terms of the difficulty of cold, hard living, at any time, the condition of Little Red Riding Hood, the character of the famous fairy tale by Charles Perrault and the Brothers Grimm. Differences in cultural sensitivity of the two versions apart, which conclude the story in a different way, the character remains constant in its size unaware of the intended victim.
E 'possible for a girl in today's society should run the same dangers of Little Red Riding Hood? It 'possible that progress and civilization could have nothing and nothing can be against the animalistic impulses that lurk in the human? If Little Red Riding Hood fairy tale is a universally valid and his message, obviously yes.
Young girls today do not go to collect grass or flowers in the woods to gather fruit, and do not have a red cap on his head. All metaphors, easily decoded. The meadows and forests of today are the nightclubs, pubs, bars, facebook and the many meeting places, real and virtual, where young love to meet for fun and sometimes just to chat, in that pleasant anecdotes of his life, after hearing stories, jokes. Joy and pleasure for young people, today as yesterday, as always. Immortal witness the Decameron of Boccaccio, where young people leave the city died of the plague and take refuge in the countryside to find life in the pleasure of being together and tell stories.
The Little Red Riding Hood is the metaphor of ease, the freshness of teenagers, that's their way of dressing, behaving, piercing adorn, to equip mobile phones, to iPad, which departs from the world of teenagers adults, especially in certain environments, and makes them understandable and sometimes maliciously striking and attractive. I put it in the plural masculine, but it goes without saying that certain dangers are running especially the girls. Little Red Riding Hood was invented by women.
But Sarah has found a wolf in the woods and his family, the most treacherous of places, because they considered the safest.
"I had already touched," he said Uncle murderess. That little girl, so beautiful, delicate, a butterfly in flight, so they have shown the many pictures taken in different circumstances, that little girl - I said - as his grandson, obsessed him. I wonder what she thought of that faun with his hands almost as much wood and twisted brain! The inability to correctly read the acts of mild and carefree Sarah opens another front for knowledge of the reasons why there should be inter-generational misunderstanding and lack of communication. Behaviors that Sarah could not respond to wishes, dreams, impulses and trends related to his age and time. The cravings that farmer could only answer and wild natural instincts, related to his condition, his age and at a remote time now. Between the two worlds, between the two conditions could only lash the drama.
's just impossible to reach a common language, allowing adults to understand at least that certain behaviors may mean something different from what they usually mean? It 's just impossible for young people, for their part, understand that the company is a forest where there is everything, where they hide, and yet so many wolves that they, too naively, could become bait and end up in their throats?
Unfortunately even beauty itself is a source of social misunderstanding, the lack of communication, risk. The myth of Eurydice is even older than Little Red Riding Hood. So the answer to the eternal evil with the eternal good and try to draw a lesson from what happened for the umpteenth time.
If you are unable to reach a shared code, you at least try to learn to live, knowing that stand between wolves and lambs, between hawks and doves, including snakes and eagles, all metaphors of the infinite human variety. Sometimes it may not be enough. But prudence is the least we can use to defend themselves from the snares of the world.
It 's a repressive discourse that stifles the spontaneity, which deprives the individual of his freedom? Maybe. But after that you took the barbaric and atrocious end of poor Sarah, who is left? And 'maybe a compensation punishment as harsh, if you will, the uncle-beast? Nooo! In the Grimm fairy tale
ends that the hunter is the wolf, kills him, opens the belly and takes out Little Red Riding Hood and her grandmother, still alive and waiting to be freed. But it is a fairy tale, is aimed at children, with the spirit of educating them without frightening them, but also for adults, with a firm mandate to do justice, to flush out and eliminate the evil wolves. In reality, everything is terribly different. Poor Sarah is no more, nobody can bring back to life and to social justice is a detail, a necessity for others.
Leading Sarah atrocious performance was her beauty, her beauty, her grace, her lightness, as interpreted by the evil willingness to dirt, all'abominio, animality, but also to lead to death was his refusal, he wanted to prove that was not what the other, his uncle-beast, might have seemed that she was herself and for herself . "These things will not do" had told him that light up before and that candor calasse the darkness, forever.
