Flirting with the Big Bad Wolf

The aim of this book is to promote reflection on the importance of integrating evil into the individuation process of contemporary women, looking at the implications of not getting closer to this evil - intrinsic to every human being - and remaining in a puerile and naive state of personality. The author reviews the literature on the theme of evil as a dark, unknown element, relegated to the unconscious, as well as a negative masculine force present in women - their negative animus. The book reflects on the feminine as an archetype, acting in the psychic dynamics of women, specifically, establishing a correlation between them based on the approach of Jungian psychology. The author makes a psychological analysis of some tales that feature female protagonists, such as Little Red Riding Hood and Beauty, from Beauty and the Beast, illustrating the archetypal journey of women in their individuation process.
