More fundamentally, at the end of the story, it appears that all the characters died and ended like in Scenario A. In a nutshell, the title of the story, "Happy Ending" is the representation of how a character's life was before they died. However, if one leads a life that is symbolized by the A version, they will definitely be a representation of what it means to have a "happy ending" since they achieved all the things they wanted to accomplish in life. ![]() Notably, the author emphasizes that human beings are bound to pass through various things, positive and negative. Drawing from this contextual base, it is, therefore, evident that the theme of death metaphorically represents the only authentic, "Happy Ending" in real life. Through all the six Scenarios, it is evident that the author metaphorically uses the things that the different character go through, to caution the audience on the need to beware of downright sentimentality, optimism, and fakery in real life. The Use of Metaphor in Margaret Atwood's "Happy Endings" to Caution Against Sentimentality and Emphasize Authenticity Precisely, she spots John with another woman in a restaurant. Therefore, despite the fact that death is a crucial part of the plot, the cause of Mary's death, for instance, unlike in Scenario A, results from a crisis. By so doing, the author makes use of the complications that accumulate in their relationship, as opposed to Scenario A, to represent the dysfunction and how pathetic their relationship is. For instance, the characters of both John and Mary are symbolically represented by their actions or how they behave towards each other. This is evidenced by the fact that, unlike in scenario A, the author introduces more complications in the plot, Scenario B. Based on this context, it is evident that the second scenario, B, symbolically represents the complete opposite of a happy ending in real life. In this scenario, the author makes use of animal symbols such as a pig, dog, and a rat, as names that Mary's friends use to describe John. In this regard, it is evident that the author offers Plot A as the ideal symbol, or the stereotypical, cliched happy ending, in real life.īesides, in plot B, Atwood presents two characters, Mary, a loving woman and John, an insensitive male who never realizes Mary's love for him. This is excellently evidenced in the first scenario, A, where John meets Mary and they both live a perfect life that is inclusive of successes in their jobs, children, and most importantly, devotedly living together until they die (Atwood). Ideally, Atwood makes use of the six scenarios, A to F, to symbolize the various things that human beings go through in life. ![]() Save 25% The Symbolism of Scenarios A and B in Margaret Atwood's "Happy Endings"įirstly, metaphors are primarily defined as things used especially in literary works to represent or act as symbols that stand for something else (Marugina 112).
