The artist tames life in his fantasy. The lovers have a happy ending, and so the story comes full circle and is complete. Art in story is a taming of the artists wish. If he desires the girl, he must conclude with the girl. If his wish is to destroy the relationship, he will, but this is a perversion in the Freudian sense, and in film, rare.
