I relate to this so much! I too occasionally find myself wondering what the original reactions of classic stories were like.
I think about tue Very First production of Romeo and Juliet. Like, probably going to see his new play. Thinking it's gonna be another comedy. Watching it, waiting for these kids to live happily ever after. But then it gets to the end.
I mean, the prologue of Romeo & Juliet makes it very clear that they're not going to live happily ever after.
Two households, both alike in dignity,
In fair Verona, where we lay our scene,
From ancient grudge break to new mutiny,
Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean.
From forth the fatal loins of these two foes
A pair of star-cross'd lovers take their life;
Whose misadventured piteous overthrows
Do with their death bury their parents' strife.
The fearful passage of their death-mark'd love,
And the continuance of their parents' rage,
Which, but their children's end, nought could remove,
Is now the two hours' traffic of our stage;
The which if you with patient ears attend,
What here shall miss, our toil shall strive to mend.
To be fair to initial viewers, death didn't initially stick to Juliet, so there was reason to have hope anyway

Like the guy said. Sometimes the things you need to do to heal might feel silly, but don’t let that stop you.
Heal yourself.
This is so beautiful and affirming.
