The role of the chorus.
A device used in ancient Greek plays- helps to set the set and directs audience about what to think.
Ask students to look at the opening scene and the speech made by the chorus.
What do they learn about the play and its characters?
What is the effect on the audience of giving them this information before they meet the main characters?
Why do you think Shakespeare uses a device found in classical plays?
