Re: On staying together after the adventure is over

[(Anonymous)]

How are we deciding who meshes and who doesn't? Are we basing it on the fiction -- the fiction that itself tells us there's something about their bond that keeps them together?

Does fiction act like it's good to stay together because it's never bad, or because that fiction is specifically presenting us with the fantasy of it being good? To what extent is this akin to "magic is unrealistic, so fantasy is not literature?" And to what extent is that bias that we tend to have toward the negative when it comes to realism? Despite the fact that many people live perfectly happy lives, and find great joy in the world, we tend to believe that happiness and joy are less authentic, less real, and therefore not worthy of fiction. Can we be sure that isn't what's happening when people point out that not everyone should stay together?
