   I think that is a function of the fact that no matter how much empathy   
   we have we can really truly only ever see the world from our own point   
   of view.  It takes a more advanced cognitive function to know AND ACT   
   like there is another perspective, not be mimicked, but to be understood.

   I had to take a few liberal arts electives in college and hoped that theatre   
   would be less contaminated by socialism, plus it was right across the street   
   from the Chemistry building, a consideration during NH winters. It was   
   mainly a study of plays in which various personality types explain and try   
   to justify their motives, notably the sociopathic Iago in Othello.

   "“If you prick us, do we not bleed? if you tickle us, do we not laugh? if   
   you poison us, do we not die? and if you wrong us, shall we not revenge?”   
   -Shylock, The Merchant of Venice   
      
   Theatre has a tradition of  a character speaking their mind directly to the   
   audience (breaking the fourth wall) more than most film and fiction.   
      
   The class was pass/fail with no written tests or quizzes. The wannabe actors   
   and dancers feared the teacher who was also the director of plays and their   
   casting and barely dared speak to him, so I and a few techie buddies with   
   less to risk if wrong responded to most of the questions.
