Hi! Can anyone show me a little bit clearer in which part of the chorus is suggested by Shakespeare that war is not really such an heroic act and that there is more underneath? I need to see it in order to develop my essay. Thank you... :)
Too late,I know, but I think that what Chorus is suggesting is that in the 'A touch of Harry in the Night' scene, he(Harry) has an argument and discusses War. Shakespeare is subversive(ie wants to overthrow or destroy something established) and is saying that the Official History is not as simple/clear as the people involved in war will tell you. So it is that scene- Act 4 Scene 1 which Chorus refers to here.
