  • Creator Breakdown: In the last fifteen years of his life, Twain became increasingly embittered due to the loss of his writing fortune through bad investments and the deaths of two of his daughters and his wife. Consequentially, his works became increasingly bleak and misanthropic, culminating with The Mysterious Stranger. Twain also lost faith in organized religion, and in people's expectations of it, but not in God Himself — his last published work, Captain Stormfield's Visit to Heaven, while mocking these aspects, showed a generally truly benevolent version of Heaven.
