One of the greatest mysteries in our lives lies so close beneath our noses that we don't even recognize it to be a mystery. Why do we tell stories? Why has evolution given us the ability to conjure up these sequences of imaginary happenings, on which, through movies, novels, plays, TV soaps and comic strips, we spend so much of our lives? I have spent 34 years of my own life unraveling this riddle. And the starting point for an answer, I suggest, lies in that age-old notion that, all through the storytelling of the world, a handful of basic plots recur. Crack the code of why stories repeat and we see how fundamentally they reflect what human nature confronts us with.
