The story is divided into six possible life scenarios. What's interesting about this story is that all six scenes end in death. Whether the relationship was happy or not, it ends in death (Atwood, 1983). It means then that an individual can die anywhere, in war, in a night's sleep, or in a gang. However, of all six possible life scenarios, none arise from drug abuse. Furthermore, Happy Endings is a functional work. It highlights several themes such as the emptiness of vanity, wealth versus happiness, and the cruelty of elitism. For example, in a story labeled B, Mary, a middle-class working woman is jealous. He takes sleeping pills and aspirin in overdose and swallows with a bottle of sherry (Atwood, 1983). Mary's is a classic example that demonstrates how legal drugs can be abused and cause serious effects on our health. Taking drugs in overdose with alcohol depicts the sick society bent on doing what it has in mind without thinking about the repercussions
