Abstract

_{This text examines the limits of the interpretation of the reader (of the tale and the story of Angela Carter The Company of Wolves from her book The Bloody Chamber and Other Stories) and of the viewer (of the screen adaptation The Company of Wolves by Neil Jordan) by regarding the culturology of the eighties in comparison with the historicism of the times when the original tale of Little Red Riding Hood and its later redactions were allegedly written, as well as the entire edification culture- while men were educating women.}
