Well, some wolf children's stories end with the wolf children becoming symbols of hope or change. They might inspire humans to be more accepting of differences. Other times, they simply disappear into the wild, leaving behind a legacy or a story that makes humans think about the relationship between man and nature. There are also stories where they are finally fully accepted by a small group of humans who see them for who they are, not just as strange hybrids, and they live happily among them, while still retaining their unique wolf - child qualities.
In many wolf children's stories, the ending can be quite bittersweet. For example, the wolf children might sacrifice a part of their identity. If they choose to live with humans, they may have to suppress their wolf instincts. Or, if they go back to the wild, they lose the chance of having a more 'civilized' life. Sometimes, they also end up being a bridge between the human and wolf worlds, teaching humans about the importance of nature and the wild.
Some leprechaun children's stories end with the leprechaun granting a wish to the protagonist. This could be a simple wish like making a sick family member well again or something more magical like giving the ability to fly. The end then shows the positive result of the wish, like the child flying over their village and seeing all the beautiful sights, with the leprechaun watching from afar, satisfied with the good deed.
Some end in divorce. Once the affair is discovered, the trust is broken and the couple may not be able to repair their relationship. The husband may not be able to forgive the betrayal, leading to the end of the marriage.
Some love stories end in a more bittersweet way. The couple may part ways, but they have grown and learned from the relationship. They might still have love for each other, but they realize that they are better off apart for various reasons, such as different life goals or personal growth directions.
They often end happily, with the couple getting together. For example, in many classic romances, the two lovers overcome all the difficulties and start a new life together.
Well, dystopian stories often end with some sort of hope or change for the better. Maybe a group of characters manages to overthrow the oppressive system or find a way to restore balance.
Typically, Gothic stories conclude with elements of darkness prevailing. Maybe the villain escapes justice or the protagonist succumbs to the forces of evil. It's all about leaving the reader with a lingering sense of dread.
In many stories, the big bad wolf's end is rather unfortunate for it. It might be outsmarted by the characters it was trying to harm. Like in some versions, the pigs manage to trap the wolf in their house and then call for help to get rid of it. This shows that even though the wolf seems powerful at first, its bad intentions lead to its downfall.
Some end on a somewhat open - ended note. His stories like 'The Jaunt' leave readers with a sense of unease and many questions, making them think about the implications long after they've finished reading.
Often, they end with the main character either being driven mad by the doppelganger's presence. For example, in some stories, the person is so tormented by seeing their double everywhere that they lose their sanity and end up in an asylum.
They can end when the initial purpose or attraction fades. In one instance, two people started as friends with benefits because they were both attracted to each other physically. But after a while, that physical attraction waned. They realized they didn't have much else in common and so they went their separate ways.
