This is a great time for stories that end happily, with true love winning out. Maybe even with 'mawwiage.' That's what brings all of you and ghweldon together today.
— both William Goldman's 1973 novel and Rob Reiner's 1987 film — would seem to belong to the latter camp. Both feature wry, knowingly meta elements, both happily riff on our received expectations. And yet this story, filled with giants and pirates and swordsmen and princesses, ends with true love winning out. With, in point of fact:"mawwiage.
Your mileage on that score may vary, but you can't deny that, for centuries, ending a story with a marriage has been the go-to narrative gambit for sending audiences home happy. Shakespeare casts the longest shadow, here. Famously, his plays fall into three categories: Histories , Tragedies , and comedies . Marriage is to a Shakespeare comedy as Sam Jackson is to a Marvel movie: wait long enough, it'll show up., try a Shakespeare comedy, which always end on a high, breezy, comfortingly on-the-nose note. My favorite is his final play,It's such a dark, violent play, full of monsters and magic and revenge, and then — in the last few minutes! — it turns on a dime.
It's about a middle-aged gay man named Arthur Less trying to figure out how the rest of his life is going to look, so he takes a trip around the world. And while Arthur himself isn't exactly an introspective sort, the book's narrator, and the characters Arthur meets along the way, are all much insightful about him and his life than he is.
