the writters would have done it on purpose, not for the point your saying i dont think but bc the simpsons is inappropriate in general, they have always been contraversial and take risks to be seen as that.

Here's an interesting fact... The Telltale Heart is narratorated entirely in first person, and the gender of the speaker is never revealed. It's always assumed to be a man, but it COULD technically be a woman. Rereading the story from the perspective of a female narrator gives an interesting new perspective on the classic tale.

Fun fact: Emily Dickinson’s sister, and I believe her publisher, took the poems they found wrapped in twine AND REARRANGED THEM. They did NOT leave her work in the original order that Emily wrote it in. From what I remember learning about her in university, it was a matter of how the public would like it and sell-ability that influenced this decision. So because of this if you read her work in book form there might be poems that feel like they match in theme but they aren’t back to back in order. Because they were rearranged to be mixed up.

The Brothers Grimm didn't write the fairy tales. They collected different versions from different countries. There are plenty of clean versions of these lessons. Because that's what fairy tales were, lessons. The Grimm versions weren't the only ones out there, and Disney didn't clean up every one, they used different versions. If I'm remembering right the version of Cinderella they used was French, a much cleaner version where she gets glass slippers, a pumpkin carriage, mice who turned into horsemen, you get my point. Every culture has versions of these fairy tales, all at different degrees and with different messages. (Also fun fact I think one of the first Cinderella stories comes from Egypt? A woman's shoe went flying and hit the ruler of the area in the head. He searched for the owner of the shoe and they fell in love. Something like that.)

(I’m German) In two of the most iconic children’s books the main Charakters get either crushed to death or set on fire. A really well known songs is about a man shooting a fox who stole a geese. There are also many short stories where just all the children die. So in that context the Grimm stories do make sense haha

I will say, in the complete works of Kurt Vonnegut, there is not one novel that doesn't contain some amount of weird sex stuff. Probably my favourite example of this is Galápagos, which contains the most sexual nuclear war ever put to paper.

The reason why the title rang a bell for me was probably that I have a masters degree in literature, too. I don't know if I lost a significant amount of intelligence since I graduated or what, but I had trouble even focusing on the Wikipedia article for this book.

I’ve never had any book restrictions since young and I distinctively remember reading definitely inappropriate works as a kid through my primary school years. It does not scar you at all, because, kids just do not understand. HAHAHAH a good example being the book, “Winky” which young me grabbed due to its teddy bear book cover. It was a book about a teddy bear who grew a conscience and touched on sexual identity, societal norms etc. I remember not even comprehending certain words, but still being very engaged by the writer’s skills. The story did stay with me through the years though, and I remember revisiting it in my teenage years and going “ohhhhhhhhhh okay” that’s what was going on.
