The Endings!
Well, I feel like we have had a lot of discussion about the ending of the book. I feel like I should write my paper on my views about how the book ended and what think was Clarke's reasoning behind ending the book in the style that she did. I want to focus on Strange/Arabella, Lascelles, Drawlight, Stephen Black, Lady Pole/Sir Walter, Vinculus/Childermass. I would like to get feedback on your opinions about the ending of the book. I am extremely interested in taking a closer look at the particulars of the ending. I feel like it would give me a deeper understanding of the characters and the book as a whole.

I think that Clarke left us hanging on a few of these characters. I did like a few of the endings. I don't think Drawlight could have ended any other way. It seemed like he would have been killed eventually anyway. And I liked that Lascelles was stuck in Faerie. I think the ending that most annoys me is Lady Pole and Sir Walter. I can't believe they could ever go back to "happily ever after." I don't know if this helps but that is my opinion.
I think Childermass is left in a position to recruit more followers for the Raven King. Vinculus will probably follow him because the Raven King brought him back to life.
It would be really interesting to see what can be thought of for Stephen. His life could become very exciting while living in faerie.
