Western Civ 4/1 - Greek Theater

There were tragedies - a play where something tragic happens. There were comedies - a play where they usually made fun of common ideas (politics). The only movie I can think of that I recently watched is The Conjuring. I think this movie would be leaning more towards tragedy.

It wasn't that she was full of pride she was just trying to care for her children. After the possession scene, however, she tries to tell one of the "demonologists" that she was okay, so that may have been a show of pride. She eventually gains her justice because there is an exorcism at the end and the spirit is driven out of her.   This is a theater in Greece. It seems to be pretty well preserved. It is outside and a circular shape and I'm pretty sure I've read before that it's shaped like that so it can project the voices.

As you can see, it also has many columns. It also has arches on the front. The arches are actually very supportive.
