Or you could end with a vignette of Malvolio teaching a young Oliver Cromwell....
Actually, one of the things I like so much about Shakespeare is that he often chooses to be true-to-life rather than take the easy way to a dramatically satisfying ending. In real life, people get hurt. There are heros who do nasty things, and villians that we feel sorry for. Yes, Malvolio leaves us hanging, but then again so do Iago, Shylock, Paroles, and others.
