I don't know
I don't like to grade other people's relationships, generally- and if I DO critique a relationship there is usually a tinge of emotionalism in the critique, which I am fully aware of, and which makes me doubt my judgments- I especially do not like to grade artistic creations of relationships. What happens after the story ends is another story- and not part of the one I get absorbed in while in the theatre. Any speculation I made would be a product of my creativity, coupled with my knowledge of the way people have acted in the past in my experience and in the literature I have read- which is not the same frame of reference as the artist had, just as speculation about real people is only a product of my creativity, and background. Past actions are no guarantee of future actions in a system as complex as a person anyway, and are meaningless when judging an artistic work. What did the Mona Lisa do after she got up from sitting for her portrait? It might amuse some people to speculate, but it is a game that adds nothing to the art of the painting. (IMO)
