the ball at Sceaux / the Vendetta, Balzac


It took these two stories short enough that I know how I'm conditioned to expect and hope for a happy ending, especially love stories.

hard to express my surprise at discovering the end of the ball at Sceaux, a love story that abortion barely begun, the stupidity of the young woman Emilie de Fontenay.
(another side of love stories aborted before it began, through the fault of a young woman I saw in real life, so why not books?)

For the vendetta surprise effect, although qu'émoussé, played again, a bleak end seemed to me completely immoral (immoral literary?)
Why a tale that ends badly would it be more immoral than a happy ending? It probably started as the real stories always have the bad taste to be hopeless. While not want to find them in books. If life is disgusting, as far as dreams are happy.
Balzac wrote the vendetta before the classic, Colomba, but after or simultaneously with the same Mérimée's Mateo Falcone who began Corsica literary style of the day.
