You know, from the standpoint of a reader's identification with the protagonist - and the animus she's manipulated into feeling for the antagonist - I've always had a powerfully ambivalent response to "Little Red Riding Hood." I mean, has the wolf no right to be hungry?
Ponder this.

PS I am a wolf, right??

Hallie,
Dave Huntley just read your latest blog entry, clapped his hands together and said that you "have the makings to be a top-rate defense attorney." Take that as you will.
Mr. Huntley then declined to post his comment himself, and actually instructed his secretary to do it for him. The look on her face told me that I had better intervene. His justification: "top-rate attorneys don't do their own dirty work." Spoken as he snacked on a Slim-Jim.
The similarities are uncanny.
