Function of the Chorus in Henry V

The Function of the Chorus in Henry V. In 500-750 words, explore the function and purpose of the Chorus in Henry V.

Ask yourself some questions as you prepare to write:

1. What does the Chorus talk about, for the most part?
2. Is the Chorus representative of a particular point of view? What might that point of view be?
3. What kind of language does the Chorus seem to favour? In other words, how does the Chorus talk? Is the Chorus reliable (that is, do we always see and hear what he tells us we will see and hear)?
4. Does the play need a Chorus (why or why not)?

Be sure to cite specific passages in the play that support your understanding of the Chorus in Henry V.
