The Plot - Conflict in the story.
This along with the character is why people read. They want to be carried away to another world. Live another life. Conflict is why the reader becomes emotional invested in a story.
Some would argue it's the characters that drives the emotion.
Again the each element playing off the other. We might not like Scarlet in Gone with the Wind, but we can sympathize with the pain of losing one's home of one's world coming apart at the seam and what better setting than the civil war.
Hope you are beginning to see the interplay between each element. How one has to play off the other to create a beautiful read.
