The Overcoat

What? That's it? Akakiy just dies? He got his cloak stolen and then all of a sudden dies of a fever. Then Akakiy comes back and starts taking people's cloaks but then as soon as he takes the prominent personage's cloak he disappears. That is a terrible ending and such a dramatic plot twist. Overall, I thought the story was good but I still very much dislike the ending.

    I was surprised and saddened that Akakiy just dies, and while it may not be a riveting ending that is overall satisfactory, I personally find it a very good ending, and certainly a start of a local ghost story.

    I feel like the author ran out ideas so he just ended it.
