The Chorus
The Chorus is a group of performers in ancient Greek theater who comment on the action of the play. They often represent the voice of the community, providing insights, reflections, and emotional responses to the events unfolding on stage. The Chorus typically sings and dances, enhancing the storytelling and engaging the audience.
In many Greek tragedies, such as those by Sophocles or Euripides, the Chorus serves to highlight themes and moral lessons. They can also interact with the characters, offering advice or warnings, which adds depth to the narrative and helps to convey the play's central messages.
