Introduction: This famous Chorus speech is a metatheatrical moment where Shakespeare directly addresses the audience, acknowledging the limitations of the stage while asking for their imaginative collaboration to bring epic history to life.
Information Booster:
· The lines are from the Prologue to Act I of
Henry V. The "wooden O" is a reference to the circular shape of the Globe Theatre.
· The "casques" (helmets) that "did affright the air at Agincourt" refer to the armor of the French army at the Battle of Agincourt (1415), the climactic English victory in the play.
· The Chorus's entire function is to bridge the gap between the bare stage and the vast historical events being depicted, making the audience co-creators of the spectacle through the "imaginary forces" of their minds.
Additional Knowledge: While the other plays are also history plays, this specific reference to the theater itself ("wooden O") and to Agincourt uniquely identifies
Henry V.
