我们的大脑喜欢阅读那些能引发我们对不可思议之事产生好奇和惊叹的作品。在本文中，我们将探讨我们为何如此热爱精彩的故事，或者说，我们为何如此钟情于好的故事。好的故事取决于诸多因素：作者的水平、故事类型、与当代社会的契合度、人物塑造的丰满程度、人物是否是英雄或能引起共鸣的角色，以及故事的背景设定——无论是平行宇宙还是能激发你艺术审美的唯美之地。
If we talk about different genres then we have to talk about the category of readers as well. Some readers like to read – anything and everything commonly known as the bookworms. While some people choose to read Books based on reviews. Some people love to read a specific genre. And as absurd as it may sound some people are just obsessed with books, aesthetics, and covers – these people might end up not reading five books but they buy fifteen.
好的故事讲述首先取决于…… 作家 这部作品着重刻画人物、主角，以及他们如何取悦读者。你认为如果伊丽莎白·班纳特喜欢达西先生那种傲慢的贵族态度，她还会如此受欢迎吗？我认为不会。正是伊丽莎白与她的姐妹们截然不同的性格，以及她并不渴望结婚，才使她如此引人入胜。
简·奥斯汀对那个世纪女性境遇的刻画，以及伊丽莎白一世与当时女性截然不同的处境，正是伊丽莎白一世这个角色如此重要的原因。如果麦克白夫人没有怂恿麦克白刺杀国王，她这个著名的角色，或者有些人称之为“第四个女巫”，还会如此闻名遐迩，值得人们深入探讨吗？答案是否定的。正是莎士比亚的笔力，以及他文字的力量，塑造了一个能够引发截然不同解读的麦克白夫人形象。一部分人认为她是“第四个女巫”，操纵麦克白弑君；另一部分人则认为她的行为是一位妻子为了她值得尊敬的丈夫而做出的无私奉献。
Through each character and story that a 作家 presents we get to comprehend ourselves a little bit more. When we read a tragic story of a woman’s past and the childhood she suffered, then only we get to know why she is behaving pathetically with her kids. When we read a story of adventure and go to the background of the protagonist’s father, then only we realize what compelled and motivated him to be a sailor. Just like that, with every story and every character, we get closet to self-awareness and our surroundings.
A narration depends on how catching the book is, for how long the writer can attract and hold the attention of the readers’ to go on with the book. It again depends on factors that a book is exploring – empathy, love, trust, misery, and more. We love to read things to feel certain emotions, if we are reading a love story we just 奇迹 at the thought of having a life like this book, if we are reading tragedy we love the emotional and empathetic bond that we can create between the characters and us – this is how we dwell with a story and love good storytelling.
