Drama dates back to 500 B.C when the Greek people invented it. Not only did Greek people watch drama for entertainment, they also watched it to interpret it. The Greeks took democracy very seriously, they looked to the playwrights to raise issues in society. After they watched a play, they would discuss it for hours, trying to decipher the true meaning of the story. In order to form a better civilization, these lessons were important to the Greek people. They would converse about what happened in the play, and what this character could have done better to that character and so on. Often, if the play they were discussing was a tragedy, they would compare the evil in the story versus the evil in the world. They would try to organize the civilization and find theories through the playwrights words. Nowadays, movies are just for fun, but drama is important because it helped create the world we live in :)
