I Capture the Castle

Books:
Emma, Jane Austen
Girl with a Pearl Earing, Tracy Chevalier
The Little White Horse, Elizabeth Goudge

Statement:
Cassandra's journaling is fun to explore. This sort of meta-writing experience was a challenge to engage. The non fairytale like ending was refreshing, if emotionally disappointing.

Question:

What can we learn about present reader's expectations with regards to the ending? Can we ever speculate on what prior reader's expectations for the ending might be?
