The presented research is focused on a close study of intertextuality tools in the fable of the well-known children’s fairy tale Little Red Riding Hood. The plot and the characters of this story have been known to a great many generations of children and have actually become recognizable masks in different cultures. Despite the fact that the problem of intertextual interaction has, in general, become the subject of various linguistic and literary studies, both the background of the Little Red Riding Hood story and the characters’ interplay in it, providing for the fairy tale’s recognition and originality, deserve more attention from researchers. This chapter presents an attempt to penetrate into a whole Gestalt of the fairy tale under analysis, which is constantly changing, travelling in time and from one culture to another, thus, forming a multiverse of its own. The research also brings into the open the hidden mechanisms of creating different perceptual images on the same conceptual basis. We shall try to show the tale’s journey through different countries over several millennia, which changed it greatly due to social and cultural traditions and influences of time and nations. The starting point of this study is the hypothesis that the reception of any literary work is carried out through the interaction between the past (the canon text, on the one hand, and human history, on the other hand) and the present (the modern version of the story as the readers know it today and the reader’s present), between traditional and modern beliefs and interpretations. It is undeniable that the reader’s reception of the story always involves their own cognitive experience and rests on the aesthetic norms of their society at the given time. With all that in mind, we set off to analyse the long way Little Red Riding Hood took to its readers, as well as deviations in its versions and interpretations. As a result of the study, a conclusion is made that all versions of the fairy tale Little Red Riding Hood are united not only by the similarity of plot and characters but also by the communicative message to defend the ideals of good, withstanding the attack of evil, and despite their differences, show the ways of stopping violence against children and protecting their innocence.
