Many find it hard to grasp that punishment is earned and due, whether or not the punishment is violent.

There are legitimate philosophical questions about the purpose of punishment, and whether it actually does what we want it to do.

But we are talking about stories, and I mean non commercial, people stories. The punishment can be that a baby bird ignores the mother advice , gets hurt and dies in the cold winter. The idea of the story is clear, children must lsiten to the parents or they can get hurt, now maybe in the stories with the bad wolf you might claim that in modern time it is bad to tell the story because the wolf gets the capital punishment s we need to "Disneyify" the story and have the bad wolf sent to therapy with therapy rabbits and he will become a productive member of society again.
Anyway from all this comments on this thread it seems americans only know of Disney and tghe Grim brothers, no one could concieve I am talking about a much larger diversity of stories.
