There are many driving force for short story writers. One driving force for short stories is to teach a lesson to, and share their experiences with the readers. For example, the short story, The Necklace teaches the readers not to be vain and greedy, and to be happy with what one has. The author, Guy de Maupassant, may have wanted to teach the readers that being selfish and unhappy is bad, and that one should always be selfless. Another driving force for short story writers is to express their inner emotions. Writers are able to truly express what they are feeling through their work. A writer may write a short story to express what they are feeling, and to spread their ideas and feelings about a certain topic. Writing short stories is the way that authors communicate with the rest of the world.
According to Tobias Wolff, the reason why people read short stories is because the short stories are very realistic, and common people can make a connection with the characters in the short stories. Modern short stories are mostly based on normal people, unlike the old stories that are about heroic people. Also, because short stories relate to the readers, they have a tendency to become a memory of an experience for the readers. People can experience certain things that they would not have otherwise through the short stories that they read. Short stories can also help readers through tough times. For example, if someone is going through financial difficulties and they read a short story about a character going through financial difficulties, then that person can gain knowledge about what to do and what not to do. The reader can relate to the characters in the story, and as a result, they can learn and experience things indirectly.
