It is quite strange that she has this colour of nails when she is an old lady. The Landlady also always refers to young Billy as "my dear" which is reminiscent of the predatory wolf in Little Red Riding Hood. Billy is portrayed as a young and spruce man. This is shown by his new work clothes‚ "He was wearing a new navy-blue overcoat‚ a new brown

All In the story of “Little Red Riding Hood and the Wolf”‚ Roald Dahl interprets the little girl as a gun-wielding murderer. While in most of the other interpretations of this story we’ve read this semester‚ she seemingly is just a young and naive little girl.
