The narrative ending aims at a precise balancing in which everyone gets what he deserves: Bluebeard is killed, and the others receive carefully weighed rewards for their help or for the evil suffered.

In the book
The tale carries that fragile figure from danger or even wounding to a rescue that arrives at the moment of maximum peril, and what wins in the end is never sheer toughness but the one who stays open and attentive when everything is shaking. The story closes with a careful balancing, everyone meeting more or less what they deserve. Those tales are flight manuals in disguise, and they have been teaching frightened children to take off for a thousand years. — Takeoff Into Chaos
