I think you're underestimating modern readers, or at least worrying overmuch about people misinterpreting the book because it doesn't fit with modern standards for how characters are written. People DO understand that a book written in another time period won't necessarily be modern. The Secret Garden was published in the early 1900s, but it's been a classic for decades... because people understand the concept of an old fashioned story with different standards for what was and was not acceptable.

I'm not sure why you seem to think that today's readers won't be able to jump the same hurdle as their parents, grandparents, great grandparents, etc. did, but I promise you, it's not impossible for them. But by removing trivial challenges or obstacles, it's not only an insult to their intelligence, it won't be doing them any favors, either. You don't learn to swim by avoiding water.
