Entertaiment is an activity that has the capacity to transform and transcend its original form, demonstrating a remarkable resilience in its ability to survive. It is understood objectively, involves communication between text and audience from external stimulus, offers pleasure, requires an audience to exist and takes place in a passive form. Oliver and Barstsch (2010) have argued that entertainment can be defined by six elements: it is consumed, involves objectivity, communicates, involves external stimulus, offers pleasure and is a passive activity.
