That's why I love most of the classics that stomp on modern sensibilities. not everyone cares about or follows standard morality and I find it amusing when they change a classic to standard morality and there are people who don't care about that and don't follow it.
People are not necessarily selfless and altruistic, many tend to think only of themselves and their own desires. as much as many books write otherwise.
That's why I never liked Dickins and Victor Hugo. mainly because of the life they led, contradicts the kindly attitude of its protagonists.

I never liked that they tried to modernize a classic, when the mentality of the time was different. The story feels contrived.
