Mike,
re. happy endings: this is a bit specialized, but if your student is
interested in thinking about endings in relation to femininity, he/she might
want to take a look at Teresa de Lauretis's "Desire in Narrative," in _Alice
Doesn't_. Esp. pp. 138-42, but excellent throughout for what it has to say
about closure and the positioning of woman as the end-place of Oedipal
narrative.
