Introduction and Context
This worksheet explores a modern reimagining of classic fairy tales, where familiar stories have been adapted to contemporary settings with new twists. In these versions, characters often face moral dilemmas and societal challenges that mirror real-world issues, such as autonomy, justice, and identity. The scene summary below presents a reimagined encounter between a young heroine and a mysterious wolf figure, set in an urban landscape rather than a forest. The context highlights how authors use imagery, characterisation, and tone to build tension and thematic depth in their adaptations.
In one version, the heroine, Clare, confronts the wolf who claims to be misunderstood. The dialogue reveals underlying themes of prejudice and trust. A quote from her inner monologue states, 'I had to decide whether to see the creature as evil or to seek understanding.' This phrase exemplifies the internal conflict and thematic exploration of perception versus reality within these stories. The contrast between the urban setting and the traditional fairy tale motif enhances the narrative's modern relevance. Students are encouraged to compare these techniques across texts and consider how they impact the overall message and character development.
