Coming to bad ends: stories that refuse closure

stories unresolved ending their plots - like Brighton Rock An Inspector Calls - are an endless torture for readers

(WARNING - contains spoilers JB Priestley's An Inspector Calls, Brighton Rock by Graham Greene and Mo Hayder Hanging Hill)

tragedy

completely resolved, leaving a gap on the stage and page, with blood and tears, induces a washing cleaning calm in the drive, even when havoc with his mask. Romances crushed Chiffon hugs on the last page, or a box of chocolates mysteries tied with a gold ribbon to solve, let me sigh and filled. Even foreshadowing suites inevitable endings, in which a key player or object search has not yet been released or found (YA trilogies, I look at you) can increase my sense of well-being, and if I liked the world books and writing, and another hope that is not bad. But there is a small subset of the final outstanding and evil protagonists who leave their helpless on the edge of the cataclysm, the reader is always aware, always and forever terrified powerless to intervene. I call sword of Damocles endings, and avoid them like the black and cold.

• The first striking results bestial brain that I found was a theater one - JB Priestley An Inspector Calls, I studied in school. There were successive revelations tirelessly to make the Birling family together until the death of Eva Smith, robbed, humiliated and driven to suicide by the insensitivity and bourgeois hypocrisy, which gave my head 12 years of equivalent dramatic worm. It was not even the "fire and blood and anguish", the inspector called on them in return, if I remember vaguely hope literal flames, and perhaps the appearance of the Demon King, the study trip to the actual exposure. Is the fact that the game ends with a call to the suicide of a young woman, and the conduct of the family, but the inspector could not be what it seems, were not left behind everything - his shame and sorrow simply been postponed. Elderly ass coverage and repentant children take place at this time forever, with no possibility of returning to face his tragedy or find beyond redemption. As Eva Smith, gave no second chance. Just a brief illusion bubble of hope, bright as the curtain falls

Similarly, Graham Greene Brighton Rock tore the lowest string in my brain when I read in my teens, and the buzzing stopped since. Wild and accurate plans of the novel, sharp beak of a bird of aggression are clear to the reader from the opening justly famous ("Hale knew, before he had been in Brighton three hours, that sought to kill "). Pinkie face and killer of children simply vile complex turns stomping and transmit their love spaniel naive Rose, grinning speaks repeatedly by the reader, his enemy is gay, Ida, and his ruthlessness of a horrible way, hovering like children faded tunic Joyful Spirit Christmas gift. But its end, leaving the pregnant widow, Rose on "fast" to "the worst horror of all", the album in which he recorded Pinkie message booed by hatred instead of love words she thinks will give your courage, makes me want to stick on the glass between the reader and the book until it breaks, make sure the shoulders and distract her while someone breaks the record on his knee and set fire to parts.
