The poem “The Wolf’s Postscript” by Agha Shahid Ali, is a text written from the perspective of the “Big Bad Wolf” in the popular story "Little Red Riding Hood”. This poem explains the side of the wolf claiming that if he had wanted to eat Red Riding Hood and her grandmother he would have done so sooner. It also claims that his actions were to act as a cautionary tale for children to teach them not to talk to strangers. He then states that the ending of the story was gruesome and was not warranted by his actions. He claims that he did not deserve to die at the hands of the huntsman and have his death be seen as a joke to children reading the tale. This poem shows how a popular fairy tale, which is seen to have a black and white ending, in fact is morally grey on both ends, however because we had only read the fairy tale and never questioned it, we did not realize.
