Quotes From 'The Handmaid's Tale'

] There once was a huntsman and a little girl who everyone one called little red riding hood. They lived along with her grandmother in the forest. One day the huntsman ran out of bread to make yeast, and the only person who had enough bread was his mother. The huntsman was too weary and tired to go get himself.

[2] The huntsman walks from the kitchen and wakes little red riding hood from her sleep. “My daughter, wake up” says The Huntsman. “What is it father?” Little Red asks. “We have ran out of bread to make yeast, go to grandma’s house to get more bread.” The Huntsman says. “It was raining in the forest and it was nighttime, quite unsettling for a young girl to be wandering in a forest.”she thought. But Little Red ignored her instinct and

said “ Alright, father I will go to Grandma’s When it stops raining”.

[3] After a while it stops raining and Little Red gets ready to venture out into the forest. The Huntsman hugs his daughter and gives her blessings, “May The Lord be with you, my daughter”. Little Red nods and leaves the house vanishing into the forest. Little Red walked around and noticed that something is odd; No birds were singing in the trees and no wolves were howling. “This is very unpleasant” She says to herself. She continued walking and because she didn’t want to walk further because she was scared she tried to find some yeast plants but there weren’t any. “Father was nice enough to leave me no map” She said sarcasticly.

[4] After a while, Little Red came to her destination and knocked on grandma’s door. “Grandma its me Little Red Riding Hood”. Few minutes went by and there was no answer. She started to worry and panic, “What if she had fallen down?”. “No one is there to help her up”. So Little Red picked the lock and opened the door. She was horrified of what she saw. Grandma’s body was mutilated and the big bad wolf was wounded and almost dead. “What has happened to my grandmother?!!” Little red cried. The big bad wolf looked at her and said “Beware of the ogre, Beware!,Bewar-“ The ogre finshes him and stabs him with a dagger. “ Oh God, what have you done to my grandma?!” She cried. The ogre gives her an evil smiles and says “It was destiny that killed her not me”.

[5] Little Red attempted to run away but the ogre grabbed her and she screamed.

This woke the huntsman and he says “ My daughter is in trouble!”. He quickly grabs his bows and arrows then ran into the forest to save her daughter. He gets to the house in minutes and sees his mothers mutilated body. “What horrible sight is this!?” He cries. The huntsman the ogre and then the creature gives him an evil smile and says “This is all for destiny, puny human”. “If you surrender your daughter I will not kill her in front of you”. The huntsman starts to get angry at the ogre. “You killed my mother and the big bad wolf.” He says. “Now I must seek revenge for the innocent lives you took you putrid monster!” The Huntsman

yells.

[6] The ogre takes out a dagger from behind him and prepares for battle. The two fight, lunging at one another. But the huntsman was smarter than the ogre and used techniques to disarm him. “Putrid monster you lose focus better than you fight” The Huntsman chuckles. He gets the ogre on the ground, but the battle wasn’t over just yet. The ogre used his smell to burn the huntsman face. “Ouch, my face” yelled The huntsman.

[7] The Huntsman anger gets worse and he lunges harder at the ogre, stabbing him in his heart.

He falls to the ground wounded, and says “You have caught me little human, but you have foiled my plans”. The Huntsman twists the sword in the wound, hurting the ogre even more. “Please! have mercy on me good warrior!” the creature pleads. “ You have killed the wolf and my only mother! why should spare you demon?” The huntsman yells. “ I will never hurt anyone again please don`t kill me!” the ogre pleads even more.

[8] The huntsman ignores the creature and stabs the creature using full force, killing him instantly. He beheads the ogre and says “ This will be worth a lot on the market, the ogre has been wanted for years in the city.” the huntsman puts the ogre’s head in a bag and sends it off into the city. Soon after he picks up his knocked out daughter and walked her back to the cottage.

[9] The next morning the daughter wakes up and asks “What has happened yesterday father?”. She had forgotten about the horrors of the other night. “My daughter, we went to grandma’s house to get bread to make yeast we ran out.” the huntsman

says.

[10] So Little Red and the huntsman took the yeast and made butter bread with it and they ate it. The two creatures that terrified the forest were gone and now Little Red can explore without danger. She did this and she never got kidnapped again.
