In the play, "Into the Woods" I think the woods represent life. Its hard, and can be scary, but it is also beautiful and full of opportunity. Red Riding Hood learned that there are flowers and sights to see, but you have to stay close to the road or you get lost and distracted and don't get to where you want to go when you need to get there.
In fact, one of the things Red pointed out was “The prettier the flower, the farther from the path” which to me means the further off the beaten path you go, the less people have been around to spoil the opportunity. I think its OK to go off the path a little bit, because there are wonderful things to find and see, and that's a huge part of the adventure of living life! However, responsibility requires us to not neglect our duties.
