Margaret Atwood's Happy Endings

In Margaret Atwood’s short story, “Happy Endings,” she explains that no matter what kind of story someone has, death is something that everyone has in common. Atwood states “So much for endings. Beginnings are always more fun.” She means that the end does not matter because eventually everyone will die, the beginning is the important part of a story. Atwood says that the beginnings of a story are more fun because that is where all the details are. The beginning can happen however it wants to, but the end will result in death.
