The purpose of this study is to explicate the relation of narrative and the development of higher mental functions in the light of Vygotsky"s theory. According to Vygotsky, higher mental functions are developed by linguistic interactions between teacher and student. Language is one of signs as psychological tools, but it is in special position from other signs because word meanings are the unit of human consciousness. The important thing is that word meaning is only one of the zones of sense and a word acquires its sense from the context in which it appears; in different contexts, it changes its sense. In other words, a word is able to awake various emotions in consciousness of teacher and student if it is given various contexts by their narrative. The development of higher mental functions is generated by experiencing aesthetic emotions; aesthetic emotions stand for "catharsis" as ideal state that is experienced when conflicts and contradictions between two or more emotions are resolved. It means that narrative is a requirement for the development of higher mental functions. But not every narrative can develop higher mental functions. Having a daily conversation by using everyday language is difficult to generate aesthetic emotions because it arouses only general emotions in mind of teacher and student by giving general contexts. While, teacher"s narrative about subjects―literature, history, science, physical etc.― gives other contexts for a word that is used generally. It causes conflicts and contradictions between emotions in mind of teacher and student, and both teacher and student are in "catharsis" by the narrative of teacher. Ultimately, the development of higher mental functions is up to how widely and deeply teacher expresses various meanings of a word in subjects through his narrative.
