* AdaptationalJerkass: Due to the story being told from the Wolf’s perspective, the three pigs are portrayed as being more aggressive and rude towards the Wolf, who was on a harmless errand. To elaborate, the first little pig ignored the Wolf and pretended he wasn't home, the second little pig said he couldn't come in because he was shaving, and the third little pig told the Wolf to get lost and never come back, and even insulted the Wolf's grandma.

* BewareTheNiceOnes: The Wolf was polite to the pigs throughout the story (although he still ate them after he accidentally killed them). But when the third pig insults the Wolf’s grandmother, the wolf then goes ballistic.
* TheBigBadWolf: Averted. Not only is the Wolf in this story not actively bad, he knocked down the first two pigs’ houses entirely by accident.

* BlueAndOrangeMorality: The Wolf doesn’t really seem to see accidentally killing his neighbors by knocking over their houses with them inside and then eating their corpses as especially wrong. This is noted in the story where the Wolf notes it’s not his fault his species’ diet is cute little animals like bunnies, sheep, and pigs.
* DownerEnding: Depending on how you view this story, the story ends rather badly for the Wolf as [[spoiler: he is sent to jail after going crazy at the third little pig’s house and he still didn’t get the sugar he needed to bake his grandmother’s cake]].
