Tragedy, Comedy & History: entertainment before PUBG and before TV


Tragedy: a terrible fate that could almost have been avoided, but wasn't.
Comedy: people being idiots on purpose
History: retelling the stories of famous historical leaders

How are they like PUBG? - lots of violence for entertainment.

How are they not like TV? - People focused on the words more than the pictures.

What about sex? - Some plays make reference to sex, especially Romeo & Juliet, but no actual sex on the stage.  Female parts were played by males, which may have made a difference.
