Resonance

Why does art resonate so much with humans? There are a lot of reasons why the different arts make these impacts. The meta-narrative, the challenging of thought of an interesting piece, the excitement of the stories. The one that we haven't covered as much is how stories relate to other humans.

This does tie into the metanarrative. How we relate to good stories because they fit into the one story that we can understand. But something that stories have always done is reminded that we are not alone. Tragedies show us that others have experienced the same losses and troubles, comedy and romance shows us the hope and joy in life.

These stories help us connect with other humans, to placate the fears that we are alone in the world and that there others like us.
