This paper explores a wolf motif in Angela Carter’s The Bloody Chamber with focus on wolf trilogy - The Werewolf, The Company of Wolves, Wolf-Alice. A wolf is a symbol of animal desire. He lingers not only in a forest but also in a girl’s mind. Therefore, a girl/woman is always destined to face a wolf in a forest called a society full of rape and violence. The Bloody Chamber is a gem of Carter’s innovative interpretation of fairy tales. In the trilogy, Carter twisted Little Red Riding Hood to show the latent meaning of the story. In the three rewrites of the tale, a girl is not a typical helpless victim sacrificed to a wolf. She is wise and strong-minded enough to fight against a wolf with her knife in a forest. She grows even empowered to tame a wolf and enjoy being together with him in her adolescent age with a help of a red hood, literally and figuratively.
