Entertaiment is a multifaceted art form, capable of eliciting joy, pleasure, and amusement in an audience. It is a mode of expression that can take on any shape or size, from a single individual who chooses and enjoys private entertainments, to banquets adapted for two; from performances for thousands, to global social media content. Entertaiment demonstrates a unique ability to transcend different mediums and to generate familiar images, themes, and structures that have proven to be durable and enduring.
