Chorus – a brief summary

One of the fundamental aspects of the classical Greek tragedy is perceived in the presence of a chorus. The chorus is a part of the traditional origin of the Greek drama , and it is essentially an incidental feature .

In a classical Greek play it usually implies a single singer or a band of singers or dancers . In fact , the chorus appears to be the first element in tragedy .

The chorus , however , is found to perform a very sacred and important function in the classical tragedy . Aristotle characterizes the chorus to be ” a sharer in the action of a play ” . Furthermore in the Poetics he says :

” The chorus , too , should be regarded as one of the actor , it should be an integral part of the whole ( play ) , and take a share in the action ”

The poetics , chapter 18

Hence , we can see the chorus was a vital and integral part of a classical Greek play , sometimes speaking for the audience and sometimes blending in to be mere spectators . Their versatility cannot be understated .
