Chorus (Recap)
Pretend that you are a member of the chorus. In your own words (modern English), create a strophe and antistrophe that capture your emotions at this point in the play. (1 emotion in each) ­­ Minimum
of 3 lines per section
Strophe
The strophe ­­ meaning "turn" ­­ is the first stanza of an ode and is essentially the first half of a debate or argument presented by the chorus.
The antistrophe is the other half of the debate or further exploration of the argument initially presented in the strophe. The word itself means "to turn back," which makes sense given that the chorus moves in the opposite direction of the strophe; for the antistrophe, the movement is left to right. The antistrophe serves as a response to the strophe, Quiz Next Class ­­ Part 1
