    short story quite like Happy Endings by Margaret Atwood. As a matter of fact‚ a good amount of my peers and I have become baffled on whether or not to even refer to it as a legitimate story. It is divided into four parts‚ each giving a very frank and emotionless set of love scenarios. She purely tells it like it is; simply fact-based and stoic without any sort of feeling whatsoever.

The process can easily be derailed by temptations to write strident‚ overly didactic verse that elevates sentiment above nuance and

    Atwood based love on how society portrayed it and not how she saw it. In the second stanza of the poem‚ Atwood describes love as something more powerful and valuable. As the poem continues‚ Atwood shifts into how she views the actual emotion of love. Her arrogance towards love had been bitter‚ however it was not towards love itself. Her emotions and attitude begins to become known when Atwood says‚ “Then there’s the two/of us. This word is far too short for us‚ it has only/four letters” (22-24).

    might be different they all have the same ending which results in a happy marriage and death. This leads Atwood to make the point that endings tend to be generic and the real "meat" of a book is in the middle.  2)  Theme-  In Happy Endings the theme focuses on that the middle of a story is far more important than the end. Atwood argues that most endings are generic and non creative. Atwood feels that that an emphasis on the middle of a story leads to a better‚ and more developed story.  3)
