Typically, I get really annoyed at writers who seem to tie everything up in perfect packages by the end of the story. I just don't think that life happens that way and reject authors who, by doing this, reject reality and make it seem like they just didn't know how to end a story. In this respect, Alexandre Dumas does not give a perfect ending to the story, but rather, resolves enough of the goals of his main character to accomplish the purpose of the story without it feeling undone in the end. Of course, after nearly 1500 pages, it would have to have time to develop and complete the cycles presented at the beginning.
In finishing this novel, I have probably 5 different thesis ideas. I'll have to store those away so I have something to give a dissertation about when I get the chance to go back for my masters.
