Critical Question #2

Forms of drama and theater appear in numerous  backgrounds (Medieval Christian, Europe, Egypt, Mesoamerica, Athens, and Persia ). Religious/ritual dramas were made to emit symbolic representation of the powerful God[s] that these people were devoted to. Since some, if not all, of these dramas incorporated elements of humor and irony, don’t you believe that the community/followers would frown upon these types of theater/drama? Or do people simply find this act humorous rather than the elaborate symbolism of their religious deity. Do you believe that the community faced clashes against these dramas?
