Answer 1

The chorus and epilogue in Elizabethan drama serve a number of purposes,

1. To assist in the narrative of the play where it would be too complex to present this plot development as part of the drama

2. To represent the traditional views, and to comment upon the action

3. To represent the audience and to reflect their views
