He appeared to be in his ninth month

Sexton alludes the wolf to being pregnant when "He appeared to be in his ninth month" (135). The deceitful wolf is pretending to be a pregnant female but in actuality he is concealing Red Riding Hood and her grandmother. The wolf being pregnant also insinuates that he is about to give birth to a being that is more developed. In this sense, Red Riding Hood is going to be born but she will be a different person than she was before she was consumed by the wolf.
