Abstract: Angela Carter's "The Company of Wolves" is a provocative retelling of the classic fairy tale "Little Red Riding Hood," delving into complex themes of sexuality, violence, and human nature.This paper examines the story's ethical implications through a literary ethics lens, focusing on the wolf as a symbol of both danger and desire.It explores the wolf's dual nature, the power dynamics between rulers and the ruled, and the ethical choice between conflict and coexistence.
