penny,
you make an excellent point about the way the story is structured.the characters can always hope for a brighter tomorrow but in the end there is only tragedy.they are for the most part a fundamentally decent(if deeply flawed)group of people who fate has cast a black cloud over.
i remember one scene that expressed this mood rather poignantly.during vicki and jeff's ill-fated wedding roger comes to vicki's room to tell her jeff needs to see her on the terrace.sensing something is wrong she goes to him.when roger and liz are left alone liz stoically walks over to the dresser,stops,sighs and pronounces that "nothing ever works out for any of us does it?"
at the time it nearly brought tears to my eyes because it's so true.
