Does this linger in any way in our understanding of theater

Reference no: EM13564697

The origins of theater are (as we read earlier) in Greece, where theater was to honor the gods (Dionysus in particular). The plays were considered rituals, and the stage itself a holy place. Remembering that the stage was first considered "holy," separated from the real world, gives the meaning of theater a certain significance. Also, there were only a few plots in the plays, all based on old myths, and everyone knew the ending. They watched the play not to see what would happen but to have it confirmed again and again that it does happen that way. Does this linger in any way in our understanding of theater today? Or in film, for that matter?
