Explanation:

Like most truly suspenseful and horrifying moment, whether in theatre, film, or television, what an audience imagines is far more gruesome than anything that they can actually watch. This makes the blinding far more effective offstage.

In addition, as all classical Greek plays were performed with masks, this made it possible for the actor to come back with a different mask to show the change and thus create a visual cue for the audience.

Answer:

Lunches from home should not be banned because some of the students need to follow strict diets that schools cannot provide. Some schools may give out foods that students just don't want to eat because they are unhealthy or just because they don't want it. Lunches from home seem cheaper than buying it from the school too.
