答案

Dramatic literature often recapitulates the history of a culture（ in that 因为 )it（指 Dramatic literature） takes （宾语是后面的 the important events）as its subject matter （the important events 做 takes 的宾语,考虑整个句子平衡及与后面的定语从句靠近所以后置）（that have shaped and guided the culture定语从句,修饰 the important events）.
译文：戏剧文学常常再现某种文化的历史,原因在于它将形成和引导这种文化的重要事件作为它的主题材料.
