Chapeuzinho Vermelho nas telas do cinema: uma análise comparativa do conto de Charles Perrault e da adaptação fílmica a garota da capa vermelha.

Abstract

Our work aims to demonstrate how the adaptations of the tract between the classic story and the cinema adapted story starting from a comparative analysis between the fairy tale “Little Red Riding Hood” by the French writer Charles Perrault and its cinematographic adaptation directed by Catherine Hardwicke. We pay a particular attention on how the characters are constructed and reformulated - especially the protagonists - in the story and the film adaptation. The work is characterized as a bibliographic and analytical research. Among the discussions are questions such as: the advent of children's literature, as well as the emergence and importance of fairy tales; Cinema, its adaptations and their appropriations of fairy tales and characters. Finally, we focus on the presentation and analysis of the works used. To the accomplishment of the research, we are based on authors like Antônio Candido (1995), Beth Brait (1985), Bruno Bettelheim (2000), Corso, D. L., Corso, M. (2006), Leonardo Arroyo (1968), Linda Hutcheon (2013), Nelly Novaes Coelho (2000,2012), Robert Stam (2011), among other experts. As a result of our study, we realized that in the process of adaptation, the changes made from a work to the other enabled us to reflect on how the modern fairy tales, spread by the cinema, have been promoting new faces and new readings of the works wich are possibly directed to children.
