The theme of The Plague by the Chorus is one of resilience and hope in the face of adversity. The Chorus speaks of the plague as a force of nature that cannot be controlled, but that can be endured. They emphasize the importance of maintaining hope and courage in the face of the plague, and of finding strength in the community. The Chorus also speaks of the need to look beyond the immediate suffering and to focus on the future. They emphasize the importance of looking for the silver lining in the midst of the darkness, and of finding joy in the small moments of life. Ultimately, the Chorus encourages the audience to remain strong and to find hope in the midst of the plague.

I agree with your identification of the theme being resilient and hopeful can pay off in the long run. Throughout the story you get a real feel while reading they are living in a nightmare every day; they wake up and do the same thing over and over living in agony. The chorus perfectly shows how even though they live their life in poverty. They still have not gave up hope feeling that there is a chance of a Mircle happening. It really gives a new meaning to what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger being able to endure all of that pain.
Stephon, you have not given an example from the play. This is the point of this week’s discussion.
