I would say it's to keep the reader guessing where you are taking them. Writing well gramatically with rich vocabulary, is the art of the execution only. Complex fictional characters and story-lines often based loosely on real-life people and events in the past (sometimes autobiographical), can encourage a reader to come along with you for the ride as they twist and lurch with you around those sinuous bends. A good story for me is unpredictable. You can also use a dark ironic humour like Sylvia Plath did in her book "The Bell Jar" if you are that type of person.GoodLuck.
