1973 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 to the reader to abide with or adjust to
ambiguity and uncertainty. In an essay discuss the end 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.
In The Color Purple, Celie, the protagonist in the story, has a difficult time fitting in with her society. Her father regularly abuses/rapes her since his wife is too old. Celie marries Mr. ___ and has a miserable life. However, she still manages to survive through the hardships and persevere. Towards the end of the novel, Celie's cruel life begins to unfold in a better way. This starts when she reads Nettie's, her sister, letters. She learns of everything about "Pa" and that the house is actually Celie's. Pa dies and Celie moves in and builds her own foundation in threading. This story ends appropriately because all the adversities Celie encountered had all worked out in the end.
