Story must have beginning middle end from "summary" of Aspects of the Novel by E M Forster
The structure of a novel is not a mere decorative feature, like the tune in a musical comedy. It is what gives the book its reality. Just as a tune cannot be played all at once, but must move in time, so a novel cannot be taken in all at once, but must move in time. The novel does not exist till it is read; a book is not a book unless it is opened. Therefore a book is a time-sequence, and the only way of considering it is in the order in which it is intended to be read. The reason that a novel has to have a beginning, a middle, and an end is that it is a picture of life. The novel has to have a beginning because life has a beginning, and the novel is a picture of life. Moreover, a novel has to have a middle, because life has a middle, and the novel is a picture of life. Finally, a novel has to have an end, because life has an end, and the novel is a picture of life. The unity of a novel is a unity of life. The novel is not a mere series of episodes, but a single organic whole. If a novel is to have unity, it is necessary that every part should contribute to the whole. The end must grow out of the beginning, and the middle must lead up to the end. The end is not a mere stopping-place, but a conclusion. It is the fulfillment of the promise made in the beginning. The end is not a mere cessation of activity, but the climax of the action. The end is not a mere event, but a consequence. The end of a novel is not a mere act of closure, but an act of completion. The end is not a mere resolution of the plot, but a resolution of the theme. The end is not a mere tying up of loose ends, but a tying together of all the strands of the story. The end is not a mere rounding off, but a rounding out. The end is not a mere denouement, but a revelation. The end is not a mere finality, but a finality. In short, the end is not a mere ending, but an ending.
