Entertaiment is an activity that provides enjoyment or distraction. It can be a source of pleasure or a means of relaxing and recharging one’s batteries, especially when done with friends or family. It may be cultural, such as the stories in the Persian professional storytelling tradition of Scheherazade; or it may involve active participation, such as playing games and sports. It can also inspire a work in another medium, such as the orchestral works of Rimsky-Korsakov and Ravel on the theme; Pasolini’s film adaptation; or an innovative video game.
