Other[edit | edit source]
The reason I posted this is because there's a video that describes this fan theory that concludes that Willy Wonka and The Chocolate Factory, is really just a remake of Dante’s Inferno. Yeah, I buy it. But then many stories are derivative. It's worth a watch.
The idea that humans need justice for bad behavior is pretty ingrained. Chimps have tantrums when the other chimp gets better treats than them. Basically, that just explained the appeal of progressive socialism: losers resent winners and want to see them punished (whether it was by merit or effort or not). So maybe it was really just Marx's Das Kapital? Both are fairy tales, after all.
