What part of Lent was scary?

I think you've also talked about Gene Wilder's Willy Wonka being frightening. I've always loved it. But my grown son told me last night that he was really afraid of it. What I thought was funny - he thought was creepy. He told me it was all about "this guy letting little children kill themselves." I'd never thought about it like that! He kept talking about the details of what he thought of as each child's death. I guess I never related it to death. I thought of it as them taking themselves out of the race - but never thought of it as them dying. Anyway, it's interesting how different people perceive things. My son, by the way, is an intelligent and exquisitely sensitive soul.
