Because the characters in successful novels progress, they change and adapt to circumstance and experience. Perhaps they start bitter, yet by the time their tale is told, they are at peace with themselves and those around them because of the things that happened on their journey. This progression is what people associate with on an instinctive level and it is this, as much as a good background plot, that people enjoy reading about.
That depends on which story you are reading!Every story has characters - some of them are believable and others are not. You'll have to make that determination for every story you read.
When reading a short story, I might want to know more about the characters and what happens to them when the story is over. I might also want to look for more stories that have the same characters.
Metaphoric?
Characters are the people or things that the story happens to. Without characters, you have no story at all.
yes it was a great heart warming story.
hi bitcjh
You keep reading because you get emotionally involved in it. You like the characters and want to find out what happens.
main characters are the first people top out of the story!

it helps you identify with content and characters, making reading more understandable
The story is being told with an omniscient narrator, who has knowledge of all the events and characters' thoughts, even those that are not revealed to the characters until later in the story.
