What does Humpty Dumpty Symbolize?
Correct answer: All Three
Old49erRob
That answer cannot be verified at all. The only answer that can be verified is that it was satire. Which meant it was a poke at royalty only. The others are very ambiguous indeed.

3 theories on what it could possibly mean. Not facts.

Coming from Colchester which is Britain’s oldest recorded town as far as I’m aware, Humpty Dumpty was a large cannon that fell off the wall and shattered. Hence the ‘all the kings horses and all the Kings men, couldn’t put Humpty together again.

Those two are too ambiguous.. while R the III did fall of his horse that was named "Wall" and his knights could not get him re-seated.. the other two just seem to be reaching

I really just thought Humpty Dumpty was just a egg.

All Three cannot be an answer if the three are totally different interpretations. Pick a common denominator or ask a different question... 🙄

dini cee, the opportunity to author questions for this game has been given to some players... personally, I refuse to use Wiki as a reference for any questions.

Just an fyi...
only posting a comment (on any question) will not get them taken down or corrected. The only way to accomplish that is for enough people to use the red 'report' button & report the problem(s)/error(s) to the creators.

Dark Side of Humpty Dumpty 2 :
"King Richard III's horse was supposedly called 'Wall', off of which he fell during battle," she writes.
"He was bludgeoned so severely his men could not save him, becoming the last king to die in battle."
According to the Oxford English Dictionary, in the 17th century, the term "humpty dumpty" referred to a drink of brandy boiled with ale. The riddle probably exploited, for misdirection, the fact that "humpty dumpty" was also eighteenth-century reduplicative slang for a short and clumsy person.

The Dark Side of Humpty Dumpty
This is probably the easiest poem to interpret. “Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall/ Humpty Dumpty had a great fall/ All the king’s horses and all the king’s men/ Couldn’t put Humpty back together again.” Humpty was an egg who fell off of a wall and cracked. Even all of the people of the kingdom working together could not fix this broken egg. And, although the character probably died, we still sing jauntily about it. For some reason, our young minds do not visualize the demise of the fragile egg, with the yolk spilling out of its fractured shell. It’s like a toddler horror movie!
Some Lyrics : Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall
All the king's horses and all the king's men
Couldn't put Humpty Dumpty together again
Now, look at the lyrics? Suspicious right?

dini cee, I personally don't think Wikipedia should be a source at all. At the university I went to here in Australia students are not permitted to reference Wikipedia.
