For example, during the interaction between Tiresias and Oedipus, the chorus not only supplies the audience with the emotions elicited by two characters, but guides the characters in a pragmatic resolution: “I would suggest his words were spoken in anger, Oedipus…yours too, and it isn’t what we need.
