The trope as described does not seem to indicate \'\'any\'\' case of any individual minor character not getting a happy ending. Yes, two men died, but the remaining crew members are free of Captain Jaggery\'s abuses and better off for it; Charlotte and Zachariah are not the only characters in the story who end up happier.

The trope as described does not seem to indicate \\\'\\\'any\\\'\\\' case of any individual minor character not getting a happy ending. Yes, two men died, but the remaining crew members are free of Captain Jaggery\\\'s abuses and better off for it. The example exaggerates two specific examples of minor characters who were wronged to argue that only Charlotte and Zachariah are happy at the end, which is not the case.

This example, meanwhile, exaggerates how \\\"happy\\\" an ending Katniss and Peeta get. They\\\'re alive, yes, but traumatized by their experiences and still trapped in a society that forces children to fight to the death once a year. They have earned the personal enmity of the man in charge of that society, and although Peeta is in love with Katniss, Katniss has only been playing the role to earn the sympathy of the public, and must continue to do so indefinitely; Peeta, who thought her feelings were genuine, has only just discovered this at the end of the first book.
