I guess what I'm finding to still write about in these last few blogs for this class are the concepts of romance I'm still unpacking.
Happy endings... Frye says that "if the conception is genuinely romantic and comic, the traditional happy ending is usually the one that fits" (134). But we find out through further reading that happy endings occur for only some of the characters, specifically, the ones that survive. This reminds me of something else I learned from Frye, it was when he talked about how good romance captures the strength of the human spirit and how it fights and perseveres over great evil. It is encouraging to get a close look at this human characteristic, how it's celebrated in romance, and its capacity to inspire its readers.
Read on, I say, read on...I'm realizing how much an individual can grow from reading quality romance and the benefits from beginning to learn how to read well.
