A funeral is for the living, not for the dead. While a funeral is a time to say good bye to the deceased and a time of catharsis, it is also a time to see a lot of people. It is a time to renew old acquaintances. It is the time for those who have cared for the deceased, especially a spouse, to be welcomed back into the community. Thus, the wake is a time of reconnecting.
Plays were part of a religious festival. Each day featured a trilogy of tragedies, a satyr play and a comedy. The tragedy trio presented a deep and moving version of the well-known stories with a different spin and message. The satyr play and comedy were part of the 'catharsis' - a mental engagement and cleaning-out process, where the filthy satyr play and the following comedy lightened up the aftermath of the tragedies, and sent the viewers home mentally exhausted and cleansed.
It was called the Doctrine of Ethos, and it primarily applied to musical theory. The ancient Greeks held a belief that certain modes affect the balance between Logos and Pathos. Logos means rational behavior, and pathos represents emotional behavior. They believed that just the right kind of music, the perfect blend of logos and pathos, had the power to heal the sick and overall affect human beings in a positive way. The Greek philosopher Aristotle theorized that music designed to mimic a certain emotion has the power to make the person listening feel that emotion as well.
The catharsis hypothesis maintains that "releasing" aggressive energy through action or fantasy reduces anger. Although "blowing off steam" may temporarily calm an angry person, it may also amplify underlying hostility, and it may provoke retaliation. Angry outbursts may be reinforcing and therefore habit forming. In contrast, anger expressed as a non-accusing statement of feeling can benefit relationships by leading to reconciliation rather than retaliation. EX: I feel (name your feeling)when (non-judgmental description of behavior)because (give the effect the behavior has on you or on others).
