Death usually is a happy ending in his stories. It's ascension to paradise and being freed from mortal suffering. It makes more sense if you're a deeply religious man from the 19th century than it does today, admittedly.
- Exoristos 1y ago78% of the world population are religious today, per e.g. Statista.

- bazoom42 1y agoYeah but not every religious writer considers suffering and death a happy end.
