Entertaiment is about providing pleasure, diversion, or amusement, whether for a private individual who selects entertainment from an endless array of pre-recorded products; to a dinner party adapted for two; to performances intended for thousands; or to any other group or occasion. While entertainment has long been associated with light-heartedness and amusement, many kinds of entertainment can have a more serious purpose. For example, the story of Scheherazade, an early professional storyteller in the Persian tradition, has inspired orchestral works by Rimsky-Korsakov and Ravel, films by directors like Pasolini, and innovative video games.
