Was Jack in the Jack and the Beanstalk story a bad kid? - 08/11/20 02:00 PM
1. He made a shady deal with a questionable salesman for some "magic" beans. He is underage and doesn't ask for permission from his legal custodians/parents to sell the family cow.
2. He risks life and limb to climb the bean stalk without wearing appropriate safety equipment or proper harnessing/anchoring.
3. He steals a golden goose from the Giant. I understand that the Giant is a cannibal, but maybe that's just the way where he lives
4. He causes the death of the Giant
Jack isn't the only fairy tale "hero" that justifies stealing and killing for the betterment of their family or for personal gain.
