We speculated on why the pigs didnt just go in on a house together. It says they built them, which wolf proofing aside, it's a lot more labor intensive to build a house of straw than wood or brick. 3 people working on ine large house with pooled resources could have a wolf breath proof fortress and the pig with the wood could frame the brick house and straw guy could insulate it. My dad is a lib but he got that this was the best move. But on the whole it feels like a story commissioned by Big Brick to sell more bricks.

And one that has gnawed at me forever, why is Humpty Dumpty always depicted as an egg? There is nothing in the text saying he's an egg
