I like Nathaniel Hawthorne's style of writing leave the ending to the reader because I agree that in reality there isn't always a happy ending. In addition the fact he concentrated in the individual's inner conflicts interests me. It feels like despite his "dark" writing brings "light" to the reader. The Scarlet Letter is an example. Nathaniel wrote about the issue like adultery that people rather favor to be covered and caused readers to think about it and come up with their best solution. Though I'm not done reading The Scarlet Letter, it is very interesting.
