The Natural Book Ending. The natural by bernard malamud is not the typical sports hero novel. This is the tragic end of our hero.
He strikes out, throws the series, is left broke, unloved, an outcast. While this book is an unusual 128 pages, the ending still functions like a traditional picture book. This isn’t so much about disagreeing with the author’s creative choices, but more about.
But in barry levinson's the natural roy hobbs ends.
He finally realizes that it was his own mistakes that brought him to this point, but that realization is too little and way too late. This book was, as bardugo has said in an interview, written to be an ending to the grishaverse. Sad endings, on the other hand, haunt us. Shaun chooses to end the story with one image on the left, and allows the page on the right side to be left blank.
