Medea Journal #1

In Medea, the chorus seems like they are in a close relation with Medea. Medea also shows this by how she refers to them as " friends", and the chorus reponds back with a different way that shows that there is a close connection between them. The chorus, as well as summarizing the plot of the play, seems to also give a deeper insight into the meaning of the play. In Oedipus, however, the chorus is refered to as the citizens where the leader serves as acting for the entire chorus in many situations, and serves the role of the people of the society. The chorus seems to summarize the plot and acknowledge the importance of the gods.
