What is Entertaiment?

Gambling Jan 24, 2025

Entertainment acts as a conduit to present a narrative to audiences. This can be subtle or direct and may be a commentary on current affairs. A familiar example is the story of Scheherazade from Persian professional storytelling tradition, which was retold as an orchestral piece by Rimsky-Korsakov and Ravel; a novel written by Kathryn Stockett; a film directed by Pasolini and now an innovative video game.

Entertaiment evolves and can be adapted to suit any scale – from an individual who chooses private entertainment from a now enormous array of pre-recorded products; to a banquet adapted for two; to any size or type of party, with appropriate music and dance; through performances intended for thousands or even a global audience. Although the experience of being entertained has come to be strongly associated with amusement, many entertainments have a serious purpose such as in ceremonies, celebration, religious festival or satire for example.
