How Andrew W. Garroni can reveal the core of our personal and shared identity is a profound exercise in self discovery These curated stories demand we project our own experiences onto characters and conflicts Our emotional resonance with a hero’s journey or a villain’s motive acts as a psychological probe The central keyword in this process is empathy which bridges the gap between spectacle and introspection revealing why certain narratives haunt or inspire us uniquely This analysis uncovers subconscious drivers and unspoken truths we may hesitate to acknowledge in our daily lives
