The plot pivots on its ending. The shell turns inside out around its pearl.
Odysseus goes Homer, in his bed built around a live treetrunk, with Penelope. Dante the pilgrim reaches his goal becoming Dante the author starting to write (backwards) "Nel mezzo del cammin. . ." The child Marcel voyages through thousands of pages in order to become Proust the author setting out on the voyage.
World & author becoming whole, becoming one. Shakespeare's Globe, rounded with a sleep.
Happy endings, after turmoil, test & struggle.
What is your plot, what is your theme?
