As children we hear many stories about the interactions between good and evil. Since every story or fable has different characters, the description of evil and good are different from each other. The good character will have different characteristics than the evil one. “There are relatively few ways to do good, but countless ways to do evil, which can therefore have a much greater impact on our lives, and on the lives of other beings capable of suffering. . " written by Plato. This saying could be the same for how the characteristics of good and evil influence the way we see characters in fairy tales. Good and evil are different entities, they are opposites and the way they are represented in Children's fairy tales influence how people react to them. In most fairy tales, the main characters are children. Since these tales were originally created to teach children a lesson, they created characters close to them Red, Gustave Dore depicted Little Red Riding Hood as an ordinary little girl from the 17th century, she looks innocent, healthy and, above all, she looks like a human child. They represent life, youth, future, happiness and tireless confidence is portrayed differently than their counterparts. They are not seen as youth, happiness or life. They give off the feeling of sin, foul, wickedness and wickedness. As Plato quote, there are countless ways to do evil. There are countless ways to illustrate evil. In fairy tales like Little Red Riding Hood, the villain is the wolf. This was the era when Christianity dominated faith and government in Europe, Christians believed that wolves were servants of Satan. The reason they believe this is because wolves hunt the symbol of innocent Christians, the lamb. Wolves are depicted as evil creatures that hunt Christian people. With wolves depicted in this way, parents feared for their children's lives. Because children trust creatures and strangers so easily. Another reason why the wolf is considered evil is because people didn't know much about them other than their own beliefs. They couldn't control them like dogs and were unpredictable creatures. People like the idea of having control over their lives and their knowledge. People who want to understand their own lives can be easily deceived, just like Eve from the Book of Genesis. This religious story of the first sin gave the serpent the well-known face of evil and an untrustworthy character.
