The play A Very Long Night includes a bit of magic, but so does almost every story. The magic of storytelling is that the main character changes and grows as their conflict gets resolved. In the process of this transformation, the reader may change and grow, too. The better you understand a work’s plot and theme, the more deeply it can affect you.
