That's exactly my point : only at the end of the story are the characters allowed to be happy. Meaning all writers do during the entire course of the story is put their characters through endless struggles and suffering, all to keep themselves and their audience entertained. No matter how positively writers try to wrap it up, in the characters' eyes they are just sociopathic monsters toying with their lives for self-satisfaction until their purpose is exhausted.

In this regard, Featherine once again embodies what writers truly are, ruthlessly toying with the cast before allowing their happy ending (by not revealing the final Truth).

Happiness is about not suffering and getting what you want, which is vastly easier when you have riches, power and stature on your side. The only reason Nigeria appears as one of the happiest nations is because they are so deep in misery and hopelessness they were conditioned to accept it. Take a nigerian in vacation for a month in a weathly country, then bring him back home, and he'll be the unhappiest guy in the world.
