Why was control over plays considered necessary for power under the Old Regime?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Because plays could carry criticism and new ideas to people

Under the Old Regime, plays were public performances that could reach many people. Through dialogue, characters, humour, or dramatic scenes, they could question authority and present ideas about justice, rights, and government. For a ruling power that wanted to control political discussion, such public communication could be influential and potentially threatening.

Option A is correct because plays could carry criticism and new ideas to an audience. The other choices are either absurd or contradictory. Plays did not plough fields, and their purpose was not merely to describe the king’s sleep. Saying that they were not public media is also false. Their public reach explains why authorities considered their control important.
