“The good ended happily, and the bad unhappily. That is what Fiction means.”
— Oscar Wilde

Simplified Meaning:
In stories, good people usually have happy endings while bad people usually face bad outcomes. This is a common trait in many books and movies. For instance, think of fairy tales where the hero wins and the villain loses. It’s different from real life because, in reality, good and bad outcomes don't always match with a person’s actions. Writers create these patterns to teach lessons or give hope. So, when you read these stories, remember they are designed to show clear consequences for behavior, but life can be more unpredictable.
