"There are two things that are certain in life. Death and taxes"
I am constantly asked about my obsession with death and unhappy-ever-after take in life. People question the endings of my stories, asking why certain characters have to die or suffer seperation and loneliness.
You see, the interpretations you make after reading a story is not influenced by the writer but it is affected by your own judgement and principles. A writer can never impose their thoughts and interpretations to their readers. They can only suggest and imply silently. They can provoke your thoughts to question and conclude. They want you to think and come up with conclusions that satisfy you.
To those who think that Amy-May always flood herself with gloominess and the gothic-ness of death and darkness is only placing your interpretation of these elements on me. To me, death is a beautiful thing. There is victory and power in death. It is not an end, but a beginning to a greater journey.
So the next time you read something and feel that the ending is crap/sad/unhappy, ask yourself this question. Why do I think so? Because I can assure you that unless the author states his or her take on the crap/sad/unhappy ending, it's all in your head. It isn't the author that is sad/lonely/sick in the head, it's you.
