The Chorus is a common vehicle used in Greek Theatre. The chorus comments on the action of the play and usually represents the common person, or the audience's perspective.

In Antigone, the chorus acts as a group of elders that councils Creon. They influence the outcome of the play twice, first by saving Ismene from her sister Antigone's fate, then by convincing Creon to follow the advice of the blind prophet Tiresias.

The chorus rarely leaves the stage, and often use dance as a tool in delivering their speeches. Other elements that can help to create a more interesting chorus include changes in levels, volume, and the speed of delivery. The chorus can speak as one or alternate between chorus members. If one chorus member speaks at a time, important words or phrases can be exaggerated by other chorus members joining in. This method can help the audience understand the speeches better and ensure that they interpret the chorus how the actors want them too.
