We love fiction, because it reveals truths about the human condition that we could never learn from an encyclopedia. It transforms our moods from the heights of comedy to the depths of drama; it transports us into the life of characters and to fantastic lands. We feel that by talking about the way that stories are put together, we can gain a [[All The Tropes Will Improve Your Life" |deeper understanding and affection]] of our favorite works (though [[All The Tropes Will Ruin Your Life" |some would disagree]]).
