  托福阅读修辞目的题:The Origins of Theater

  【Paragraph 6】But neither the human imitative instinct nor a penchant for fantasy by itself leads to an autonomous theater. Therefore, additional explanations are needed. One necessary condition seems to be a somewhat detached  view of human problems. For example, one sign of this condition is the appearance of the comic vision, since comedy requires sufficient detachment to view some deviations from social norms as ridiculous rather than as serious threats to the welfare of the entire group. Another condition that contributes to the development of autonomous theater is the emergence of the aesthetic sense. For example, some early societies ceased to consider certain rites essential to their well-being and abandoned them, nevertheless, they retained as parts of their oral tradition the myths that had grown up around the rites and admired them for their artistic qualities rather than for their religious usefulness. (The Origins of Theater)

  Why does the author mention “comedy”?

  ○To give an example of early types of theater

  ○To explain how theater helps a society respond to threats to its welfare

  ○To help explain why detachment is needed for the development of theater

  ○To show how theatrical performers become detached from other members of society
