In the Face of Evil

A key component of a story is conflict. There must be a problem that someone faces, something they want to achieve. And there must be challenges in achieving that thing or solving that problem. Those challenges can come in many forms. A natural disaster, an evil stepmother, a dragon guarding the gold, etc. We love hearing about people that go through hard things because it can help us learn how to face the hard things we face. A lot of stories remind us that in the face of evil, we can join forces with other good people and get through together.
