The reason why novels often ended in tragedy was that tragedies could touch people's hearts and resonate with readers 'emotions. Tragedies could often deeply expose the weaknesses and flaws of human nature, making readers feel the impermanence and fragility of life, and thus cherish the present life more. In addition, tragedies could often leave a deep impression on the readers and stimulate them to think and reflect on the story, which helped to enhance the meaning and value of the novel.
