Really Good

Really enjoying the emotional intensity of this. Makes the 'happy ending' all the more worth while, when you finally get it. I also like that it is a historical, which when done right (as in this case) can add a bit of extra flavor to a great story.

    So I understand, but would also expect a label of 'tragedy' if it was to have an unhappy ending.

    Really? I usually reserve 'tragedy' labels for deaths not bittersweet or sad endings.

    Tragedies don't have to have deaths, though they often do. They do have to have sad endings, or it wouldn't be tragic. Think for example betrayals, revenge and destruction, etc.

    Possibly.

    I'm just saying the mcs not staying together isn't what I would qualify as a tragedy. Bittersweet, sad, yes. But not tragedy.
