I believe Beedle wrote this tale not to showcase a bad relationship but show that no matter what you go through in life things can get bet better and nothing you or anyone could ever do to you is worth you becoming emotionless and you stop the caring and loving part of life, it shows in his story that anyone who thinks thats a good idea will truly regret it in the end.
Then Herminny took a breath thinking about the Tales of the Three Brothers and raised her hand to say, " I believe Beetle learned about the objects the brothers recieved from the oldest boastful brother who probably talked about all the objects one per brother and this is where the tale got it's inspiration
I believe Beedle came up with the ingenious idea to put death in the mix of all this cause he saw a way to connect the items in this way."
"I like your point about connecting the hallows through Death. Thank you." Ethan nodded.

He thought hard for a moment and then shook his head, "Yeh Oi ain' go' nuthin' else... Wai' mehbey Oi do... Neh... neh Oi dun'..." he finally finished and sat back, fairly pleased with himself, though wishing he could have come up with reasons behind any of the other stories, like the Hopping Pot. I mean, it was his favorite story, and yet he couldn't come up with a theory of why it was written or what Beedle's inspiration was. Sigh.
He raised his hand again, slowly, "A'tually, Oi 'ave a wee li'l oidea be'ind de 'Oppin Po' storeh. Theh's always a li'l chance tha' de who'e storeh was jus' one big dream, tha' 'e wrote down an' mehbey added a few li'l additions 'ere an' theh ta make i' more in'erestin'..." shrugging once more, the small, shaggy-haired boy finally shut up.
"Quite right. He might have faced persecution himself, thank you. And you never know, dreams are powerful things." Ethan agreed.

"I think it might pre-date the story," he said softly. "Maybe Beedle used that rhyme to get his point across? Knowing that line about elder, he decided to have the wand in the story made of elder to point out even more strongly the fact that the oldest brother wouldn't succeed. A bad wand made by death out of wood that's supposed to be kinda bad luck? That oldest brother wasn't thinking very much..." He thought for a moment. "'s possible that Babbity Rabbity was written because of all the anti-wizarding world stuff Muggles were doing... Maybe Beedle felt that if we were to do what Babbity did, the Muggles would leave us alone, even knowing what we are." Another pause. "And the Hopping Pot could be his way of pointing out that, while the Muggles weren't exactly being nice... Wizards weren't being all that nice either? And that might've been his way of saying that we needed to shape up and be nice, and then the Muggles would be nice right back."
"Good, Raiden." Truebridge nodded, "All very possible."

"Actually that would be most excellent. Check out Anna's notes on the story if you need a reminder." Ethan tossed a piece of chalk at Maddox. "Once you are done and everyone has copied down the notes from the board, I will assign homework."
