There are three acts in a story because they provide a structure that helps to engage the audience and keep the story moving forward. The first act sets up the story by introducing the characters, the setting, and the main conflict. It also establishes the tone and the world of the story, drawing the audience in and setting the stage for what's to come. The second act is where the main action of the story takes place, as the characters face obstacles and challenges that drive the plot forward. This act builds tension and keeps the audience invested in the outcome. Finally, the third act brings resolution to the story, as the conflicts are resolved and the characters' arcs are completed. This structure helps to create a satisfying and cohesive narrative that keeps the audience engaged from beginning to end.
