Answer:

Parasocial relationship.

Explanation:

This term was invented by Donald Horton and Richard Wohl in 1956. Parasocial relationships are one-sided relationships, where one person extends emotional energy, interest and time, and the other party is completely unaware of the other’s existence.

Parasocial relationships are most common with celebrities or television stars (such as, in this case, the actress of Shireen Baratheon).

We can see that Samantha is experimenting this parasocial relationship given that she won't go out to see the TV show and felt devastated when the character she likes died, causing her insomnia for a month.

why did charlotte perkins gilman use first-person narration in her short story " The Yellow wallpaper
DIA [1.3K]
As with any author's decision to use 1st person, her intention most likely -- in this story -- was to get her readers to go along for the ride into madness and cultivate a certain amount of sympathy for the narrator and her plight. The constant use of "I" puts readers in the narrator’s head and allows them to empathize with her.

What is a major difference between modern audience and audiences during shakespear time
myrzilka [38]
During Shakespeare time which was in the 16th century aka 1500’s was that there was a “social class” type of audience sequence where the queen would sit in the “best seat” so everyone could see her. There would be a gentleman’s room only for men to have a good view. The normal or more underclass people would sit on the floor leaning against the stage. Basically everything depended on your royalty in some type of way. Modern day today it all depends on how much your ticket cost to see where you sit
