i'll need a slower reading
i think if i had read this play slower than i did i would be able to appreciate all of the subtle things about it such as the language and the poetry of the choruses. i got the main jist of it but i read it as i would read a book. i didn't really take the neccessary pauses or read with the line alignment like i could have and i think if i go back and do that i would better grasp the poeticness of the text and see a more vivid picture. i might go back and do that when i have time, but then again what ib student has time?

i think the choruses just drew the story out longer, when it didn't need to be. that made it boring for me.
like i could almost just skip those parts.
I can agree for the most part. Those choruses started to bother me after awhile, mainly because they didn't really contribute anything to the text. I bet if I actually saw the play, I would be much more appreciative of what the choruses can do, but as a reader, they aren't very exciting.
