Mostly, they end badly. For example, in many cases, the people involved face social condemnation. Society has certain moral standards, and adultery goes against them. So those in adulterous relationships may find themselves shunned by friends and family.
Sometimes, the abducted person may fall in love with their captor, which is a more complex and controversial ending. This can be seen in some modern interpretations of abduction stories where Stockholm Syndrome comes into play. However, in traditional stories, this is less common. Usually, if there is no rescue, it might end in tragedy, like the abducted person dying or being forever separated from their true love.
Some end happily, like in 'Beauty and the Beast' where the Beast is transformed back into a prince and they live happily ever after. The couple overcomes the initial forced situation of the 'kidnapping' and finds true love.
Often, they end with the lovers being together. For example, in many stories like 'A Court of Mist and Fury', the main couple overcomes all the obstacles, whether it's the antagonists, the differences in their natures or the political unrest in their world, and they end up happily united. It gives readers a sense of satisfaction that love conquers all.
Some end happily with the couple staying together. For example, they might go to the same college and continue to support each other in their studies and personal growth.
Sometimes it's to make the story more memorable and evoke stronger emotions. Tragic endings can leave a lasting impression on readers or viewers.
Well, 'The End' is like a final stamp on a story. It's a clear and unambiguous statement that tells us the tale is over. It's a common and recognizable way to wrap things up and leave no room for confusion about whether there might be more to come.
Well, some monster transformation stories end with the monster being defeated or destroyed. If it's an evil transformation, like in some werewolf stories where the werewolf goes on a rampage, the villagers might find a way to kill it. However, in other cases, the ending might be more bittersweet. The transformed character might accept their new form and find a way to live with it, like in some stories about people becoming half - human, half - monster hybrids and they learn to co - exist in a world that doesn't fully accept them. This can be seen as a form of self - discovery and acceptance.
Some scary Fleshgait stories end with the Fleshgait disappearing mysteriously. Maybe after scaring the main character half to death, it just vanishes into thin air. This leaves the character in a state of constant fear, always looking over their shoulder, not knowing if it will return. In other cases, the character might be left in a situation where they are not sure if what they experienced was real or just a nightmare, which is also a very unsettling way for these stories to conclude. The uncertainty is part of what makes these stories so scary.
They can also end positively. For example, a couple who had an unplanned sexual encounter might realize that they have a deeper connection than they thought. This could lead to a more committed relationship and a new level of intimacy. However, this is not always the case. In some cases, if it was a one - time thing between friends, it could end the friendship or at least make it very awkward for a long time.
Often, they end with the defeat of the demon. For example, in many classic horror stories, the hero or heroine finds a way to banish the demon, usually through some form of magic or religious rite.
