Red Riding Hood has also been seen as a parable of sexual maturity.
In this interpretation, the red cloak symbolizes the blood of menstruation, braving the " dark forest " of womanhood.
Or the cloak could symbolize the hymen ( earlier versions of the tale generally do not state that the cloak is red ).
In this case, the wolf threatens the girl's virginity.
The anthropomorphic wolf symbolizes a man, who could be a lover, seducer or sexual predator.
This differs from the ritual explanation in that the entry into adulthood is biologically, not socially, determined.
