Are the problems solved or is a resolution reached by the end of “Gone Girl”? How might this film affect viewers as they return to their everyday activity? Will it inspire more hope and faith, or more despair?

The novel's final section is ambiguous as to who has won the power struggle. Amy is being lavished with attention by Nick, and it seems that she has gotten everything she wanted. However, under the apparently loving exterior, Nick feels disgust and pity towards her. Since Amy has orchestrated a world where truth no longer matters, she is doomed to live a lie forever. Her husband will never love her, no matter if he pretends to. Amy's obsessive need to have the final word at the end of the narrative suggests that she is struggling to maintain a sense of power and control, but that her victory actually feels hollow.

The last part of the question calls for your opinion. There is no right or wrong answer.
