Here’s the passage *90 POINTS, PLEASE AMSWER IT CORRECTLY ITS DUE TMRW*:
For no apparent reason, she just started to dance.
In July of 1518, in full view of her neighbors, Frau1 Troffea began to violently dance in the streets of the city of Strasbourg, France. There was no music and her face betrayed no expression of joy. She appeared unable to stop herself from her frenzy.
Had this remained an isolated2 incident, the city elders may have put it down to madness or demonic possession, but soon after Troffea began her dancing, a neighbor joined in. And then another. By the end of a week more than 30 people were dancing night and day on the streets of the city. And it didn’t stop there. By the time a month had passed, at least 400 citizens of Strasbourg were swept up in the phenomenon.3
Medical and civic4 authorities were called in once some of the dancers began dying from heart attacks, exhaustion, or strokes. For some inexplicable5 reason, these men believed that the cure for the dancing was more dancing, so they erected a wooden stage for the dancers and musicians were called in.
[5]This all sounds like some archaic6 bit of folklore, but the dancing plague of 1518 is clearly chronicled7 in medical, civic, and religious notes of the time.
Summarize one of the theories mentioned in the text that explains why the villagers began to dance. What are the weak points of said theory? Cite evidence from the text to support your answer.
