What is the role of the chorus in Medea? How is it different than in Oedipus?
The chorus in Medea compared to the chorus in Oedipus is much different is because in a way in Oedipus they seem to have a sense of control or limitation to what they could say. While in Medea the chorus has their own thoughts and feelings, especially feeling sorry for Medea and how she lost her husband. The chorus is Medea got more involve within the story as in Oedipus they are only they as the city people which only spoke out at certain points. They didn't really care much about Oedipus, they just wanted his help. While as mention in Medea the chorus cares more for their mistress or the main character.
