Literature offers unparalleled insights into human behavior. Studying theatre particularly demands attention to motivation and conflict and desire. The Humanities help develop habits of mind to keep the human condition in mind at all times.
Something that bugs me a lot about story is that it's _about_ something. Something I've heard several authors comment on is that every element of a book relates to every other. A word serves a sentence serves a paragraph serves [etc] serves the overall narrative.

In this, story seems much like a scientific theory - every element counts & is part of a whole. But people often don't imbue their own lives with meaning in the same way. In this way, story seems more like science and less like humanity to me.
