why DID humpty dumpty fall off the wall? What was the point.?

Answer 1

he was pushed....despite what any of the local officials say. mass cover up by the kings men. It was all a set up.

Answer 2

I think that the point of letting poor Humpty fall off the wall was to symbolize that some things in life are so fragile that once broken...they can't be put back together and all you'll be left with are the pieces of what used to be.
Remember that all the king's horses and all the king's men couldn't put Humpty back together again.
The usage of an egg as a symbol for the fragile state of life was clever.
Damn, I never thought that deeply about that before. I am so glad that I didn't have to think like that as a child because there's no telling what I would have made of Jack & Jill.

Answer 3

This child's nursery rhyme actually commemorates an event in history (which you can probably get the details of by googling "humpty dumpty cannon"). Humpty Dumpty was a large cannon which was placed on castle wall, unfortunately too close to the edge and it fell to the ground and broke. Despite their best efforts, all the king's horses (the cavalry) and all the king's men (the infantry) were unable to repair the great cannon.

Answer 4

Unfortunately Humpty was a drug abuser and that was the main reason he fell off the wall. He'd just loaded his pipe with crack and was away to fill his eggy lungs when he dropped his lighter. He fell while reaching for his light...but that's not what broke his shell. Jack and Jill had just came down the hill after visiting Little Bo Peep for some smack, but she didn't have any and then they saw Humpty rolling about on the ground giggling like a nob and decided to give him a beating and steal his gear. He was the victim of a vicious beating for his dope.
