Information AboutDenouement |
|
A classic example of denouement is the final scene of Shakespeare 's comedy '' As You Like It ''; couples marry, an evildoer repents, two disguised characters are revealed for all to see, and a ruler is restored to power. There are certainly works in which the denouement is absent, mainly due to a quick, surprise ending (see Lord Of The Flies ). As a whole, this does not subtract from the worth of the story. When a writer drifts from the story telling equation (conflict followed by climax ending with denouement), however, the feeling of catharsis is often lost. There may be a lack of gratification, or "pay off." SEE ALSO EXTERNAL LINKS |
