Values Dissonance/Literature: Difference between revisions

* The ''D'Artagnan'' Romances, better known as ''[[The Three Musketeers (Literature)|The Three Musketeers]]'' and its sequels, feature characters who routinely commit adultery in pursuit of wealth or advantage, shamelessly mock the least intelligent among them, and commit high treason several times a novel-and those are the protagonists. The books being historical fiction, the author himself lampshades it as an example of people behaving differently in the old days (in a way that's inspired suspicion that he was mocking people who behaved that way in his own time).

* American fans of [[Terry Pratchett]] have a more lukewarm response when it comes to ''[[Discworld (Literature)/Men At Arms|Men At Arms]]'', a book with an anti-gun message.
