Triumph of hope over experience

or just plain stupid? I was reading Karendianne's blog this morning and she had referred to watching Wuthering Heights on TV. That led me to thinking about why I don't watch that or read it again, since I've read it several times before. The reason is that every time I saw it I hoped for a happy ending, and never got it. It is the same with some other books like Gone With the Wind. Now, when you've all stopped laughing at me you can decide for yourselves if I am an eternal optimist or just plain stupid.

    I'm like that too, Sue - I figure that there is enough in life to make you miserable with choosing to watch/read something without a happy ending!

    I'm a sucker for happy endings too.

    I have read "Gone With the Wind" several times and watched the movie a couple dozen times. Did not like the sequel. I don't think that is what Scarlet would have done at all.

    So it seems I'm not the only one who prefers a happy ending then?
