An effective literary work does not merely stop or cease; it concludes. in the view of some critics, a work that does not provide the pleasure of significant closure has terminated with an artistic fault. a satisfactory ending is not, however, always conclusive in every sense; significant closure may require the reader to abide with or adjust to ambiguity and uncertainty. in an essay, discuss the ending of a novel or play of acknowledged literary merit. explain precisely how and why the ending appropriately or inappropriately concludes the work. do not merely summarize the plot.

The world of literary writing is a pretty vast one, especially if we take in novels that have been written by great authors. One such amazing novels are the works done by Jane Austen, whose stories have been known to the world not just in writing, but also in movies. These stories have all common denominators and are both the humor, and also the romance, present in them. Another feature that is important in them is the way that Ms. Austen never leaves a story with open endings, or with any ambiguity as to how each characters´ stories end, both the main and the secondary characters. This makes her stories quite amazing.

The one I will pick now is "Pride and Prejudice", Ms. Austen´s romantic novel which was published in 1813 and which narrates the story of the life of Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy, two characters who meet in the most unlikely of circumstances and who begin their acquaintance with disgust between them, and end up in love and married.

The magnificence of the work in this novel comes from the multitude of storylines that Austen opens up parallel to those of Darcy and Elizabeth, and she intertwines each story with those of the main characters because they too are paramaount to the development of the romance between the two main characters. In fact, without the ways that each storyline, and events in them, develop, the life of Darcy and Elizabeth would never have happened and they would have never had the chance to encounter more, get to know each other better, and thus end up falling in love.

In the end of the story, Austen begins to tie the knots of all the stories around Elizabeth and Darcy, and these endings bring the main characters closer together, until their own story reaches a peak and we are left contented as readers because it all resolves as the reader wanted: all favorite characters get their happy-ever-after, while those that are less liked also receive their just share. Elizabeth and Darcy are married, so is Jane and Mr. Bingley, Ms Darcy is happy with her new sister, the Bennets are rewarded despite their siliness with three daughters married and those who were against Darcy´s and Elizabeth´s relationship are also dealt with.

This, like most of Ms. Austen´s novels, are examples of novels in which closure is complete and it leaves the reader not wanting more, but wishing to start again.

i believe that's the correct answer
