A chorus in a Greek tragedy is fundamental however in modern plays it is no longer a crucial element. The chorus consists of a small group of people‚ usually between twelve and fifteen‚ who account the events of the play‚ and foreshadow its development.

the Chorus in Medea An important element in ancient Greek tragedies is the chorus‚ a near constant presence that typically played little to no role in the events that take place in the plays. In Medea‚ this idea stands true. The Chorus in Medea consists of Corinthian women‚ who mostly just lament the horrific things that are happening throughout the play.

The Chorus influences our response to Medea and her actions in both a positive and negative manner. The Chorus‚ a body of approximately fifteen Corinthian women who associate the audience with the actors‚ is able to persuade and govern us indirectly through sympathy for what has been done to Medea‚ a princess of Colchis and the victim of her husband’s betrayal of love for another woman. The Chorus also lead us to through sympathy for Medea to accept her decision of taking revenge on princess Glauce

George F. Handel Brittany Shellem March 11‚ 2013 Monday 6:00pm Shellem 1 George F. Handel‚ a man born in the same time as Johann Sebastian Bach‚ has been recognized as one of the most underrated Baroque composers. Handel was born in the same time as Bach and only 50 miles away.
