Bringing Bach to a discussion of literature and stories is strange. But if you really want to go for the topic of classical music we could take Wagner for example. Should we ban Der Ring des Nibelungen along with all the music compositions belonging to it such as Der Walkyrie because the play is filled with incest, rape and infidelity? Should we ban Carmen because the main plot is about an adulterous woman who cheats on her proponents? And before you say this would never happen, when the play was actually premiered in the 19th century it received wide criticism for being immoral, scandalous and perverse. It gained fame out of France. We can also put the example of Molière, today universally considered a genius of theatre for France was refused rites after his death by priests because acting was considered immoral, and actors were buried along with prostitues and people who suicided. For being one of the most famous he was spared the indignity and only was buried along with unbaptized infants.

What about Paradise Lost and Lazarillo de Tornes being outright outlawed by the Inquisition, two works now considered classics?

But hey, culture moved, so everyone gets to pretend these things never happened and moral orbiters didn't try to outright outlaw theatre. Now theatre is considered "high art". Funny how that works!
