Image via WikipediaStories are part of the human experience. Even before TV, movies, radio, and books there were bards who would travel from town to town telling stories by campfire..
People fall in love with characters. Universal Studio just opened up the Wizarding World of Harry Potter and people come from all over the world and stand in line for 5 to 7 hours just to see the replica of the world in J.K. Rowlings books. At Disney World you can travel around the Magic Kingdom meeting all the character's from Disney's movies like Alladin and Jasmine, Belle and Beast, and Sleeping Beauty. People become very emotional because it not only stirs their memories but also something in their hearts.
Emotions rule actions. And from the begiining of time stories have shaped and inspired people to greatness and lifted them out of misery and despair by filling their hearts with hope. I still remember reading Robinson Crusoe which is one of my favorites stories. The story took my on an adventure to far away places and through good and troubled times all from the safety and comfort of my bedroom floor. I got to live through books.
This is the purpose for the writer.
