If the characters accepted they were wrong for not following the mores, then there was still hope for them to be in the path of happiness. In that era, the novels and stories which were acceptable to society and also passed to posterity without any problems were those which emphasize the good values and morals people should take, the rules society wanted to promote, that those things can lead us to the real path of happiness.
