Entertaiment is a large and diverse area that covers a wide range of activities. It has evolved into a substantial industry providing livelihoods to many. It is based on a wide range of narrative traditions and often has a moral purpose. It can be highly individualized and can vary according to the tastes and expectations of the audience. It can be as simple as an individual selecting a film to watch privately; as complex as a banquet adapted for two; or as large as a performance intended for thousands.
