Antonyms for the term "cliff-hanger" are endings or conclusions that are clear-cut and lack suspense. These terms include settled, resolved, conclusive, and finished. These are the types of conclusions that do not leave any loose ends or questions unanswered. A clear-cut ending may also be referred to as a tidy ending or a satisfactory one. It is an ending that provides closure to the plot, and everything is wrapped up in a bow. This is in contrast to a cliff-hanger ending, which leaves the audience in suspense and demands closure. The use of antonyms for cliff-hanger endings is essential in some genres of literature, such as children's books, where the story's conclusion needs to be predictable and happily ever after.
