ABSTRACT

Playfulness is a unique phenomenon as it is both a psychological term referring to style or attitude, and also an action or behavior. A person with playful attributes is governed by internal motivation, internal orientation and is unbound to external rules and is actively involved in their environment. There are various ways to end a story: sealing the circle, the construing, problem and resolution, behold the forthcoming and the apposite quote. The ending may remind us of the commencing by returning to an important part, place or character. Or it may tie-back. The ending is not necessarily a ‘happy ending,’ but a satisfying one, a reward for a journey concluded, a mystery revealed, and an ambiguity solved. Some characters just speak in endings, summarizing in their own words an immaculate summary or refinement of what has come before.
