The Victim

“The victim who is able to articulate the situation of the victim has ceased to be a victim: he or she has become a threat.” James Baldwin 
                       Fig 2 (above):Angry Little Red Riding Hood Graffiti 

I found this quote today by James Baldwin and I think its sentiment is pivotal in our modern relationship with Little Red Riding Hood, as we play a never ending power game between her and the wolf. Aligning the balance of power according to the context, event, or comment on society.
