Graham’s idea of a “uniformly satisfying” conclusion is definitely present in Lady Audley’s Secret. Michael Audley and Alicia travel through Europe, Lucy is sent to a mental institution and then dies, George returns, and Robert and Clara get married. These “safe” plot elements surprised me in comparison to the former “dangerous” plot elements. The plot elements from the rest of the book were seen to be inappropriate to be discussed at the time of publication, whereas the end of the novel is what people would have found acceptable. The elements such as bigamy and attempted murder went along with the title “Lady Audley’s Secret,” which makes the reader know that something is being hidden from characters, and the rest of the novel. After Lady Audley’s secret is revealed, everything in the novel seems to work itself out. These very different kinds of events coexist in a surprising way. Although the reader expects some form of closure, it was unexpected that everything would work out for everyone. The traditional ending didn’t fit with the rest of the book, but that did not make me dislike it. From the beginning the novel has so many loose ends, and the conclusion ties them together in a way that they make sense. It gives reasoning for many of the aspects of the novel that we questioned, such as the description of the portrait of Lady Audley. In a way this ending may be seen as cliché, as it is what everyone wants to hear, but at the same time is not as it is completely unlike the rest of the book.
