"The
Little Red Cap" is a poem by Carol Ann Duffy published by
Picador as a part of her 1999 collection of poetry titled The World's Wife. The
book consists of poems that are based on old stories and tales in which she
reshapes in terms of modern day culture. Duffy is known for her trait to take
previous stories, tales, etc. and change them into her own "What you can
do as a poet is take on a story and make it new" she once said to Barry
Wood in an interview. Duffy's Little Red Cap is great model of her style of
poetry in the collection. The World's Wife was created based on stories of
heroes that were an inspiration to her. Duffy also believed that these tales
and stories did not interpret the truth. Duffy's belief in feminist literary
criticism is apparent as she believed that in order to find the truth, the
female character was to be dominant. Most of Duffy's poetry has feminist
interest. She found that the original Little Red Cap fairy tale was an example
of feminism in both fairy tales and English literature. She then found a
personal connection within the original story line to help form a dominant
female character in her writing.
