How does good apocalyptic fiction often make readers feel?

Readers usually feel a sense of warmth. Just like summer, the love in these fictions has a certain glow. For example, in many summer love fictions, the descriptions of the sun - kissed beaches and long, lazy days make you feel as if you are in that idyllic setting, sharing in the characters' love.

The ending of the 1984 novel often makes readers feel a mixture of shock and sadness. Shock because of how completely Winston has been changed, and sadness because it represents the loss of all that he once was. It also makes readers feel a bit of fear, as it shows how powerful a repressive regime can be.

Readers often feel a sense of moral confusion after reading the ending of Watchmen. Veidt's actions seem both heroic in a way as he stopped a potential nuclear war, but also deeply immoral as he killed millions to do so. And the death of Rorschach adds to the emotional turmoil, leaving readers with a feeling of being adrift in a world without clear moral boundaries.

The ending of 'Rebecca' makes readers feel a sense of relief. The destruction of Manderley frees the characters from the past, and it gives a feeling that a new start is possible.

The ending of 'the mist' novel makes readers feel shocked. It's so unexpected that it hits you like a punch in the gut.

The ending of the Dracula novel makes readers feel a sense of relief. After all the horror and tension throughout the story, seeing Dracula defeated gives a feeling of safety being restored.

Funny fiction can make readers feel better by simply making them laugh. When we laugh, our body releases endorphins, which are hormones that make us feel good. For example, reading a story with a really silly character who gets into all kinds of comical situations can brighten up our day.

Since I'm not familiar with the ending of this novel, it's difficult to determine how it makes readers feel. Generally, a well - crafted ending can evoke a range of emotions such as surprise, relief, or even confusion. If the ending of 'The Second Sleep' ties up all the loose ends neatly, readers might feel a sense of closure. On the other hand, if it leaves some things open - ended, it could make them feel intrigued and perhaps a bit frustrated as they might want more answers.

For some readers, it may also be thought - provoking. It could make them think about the deeper issues like mental health, despair, and the consequences of certain situations that led to Percy's decision, even if it's just in the fictional world of the fanfic.

Most readers feel a sense of nostalgia. The ending of Calvin and Hobbes reminds them of their own lost childhoods. It's a feeling of missing the simplicity and wonder that came with being a child.
