Why Do People Like Stories?

i just recently read an article by an author of this, a grt book. They basically consistently showed that novels consisted ofof had a hero and the was pro social. The villains were making choices for their personal benefit, against the social benefit. And t these novels over and over again, repeat this pattern, whereby we can each read the story. We can in great detail, approve and disapprove of the same actions together,. See that we are sharing the values about what are the approved and disapproved actions. Soit all may be, all the saying is it fits that earlier formulation better than the later one.
