THE CHORUS
O sad Electra, child
Of a lost mother, why still flow
Unceasingly with lamentation wild (121-125)
The Chorus seems to be taking Chrysothemis's more pragmatic point of view. They believe that there is not point to lamenting what can't be changed. If this is true, then why does Electra continue to lament her plight?
