The purpose of the chorus is to explain to the audience what is happening. It's almost a narrator position. For example, the first chorus, is an introduction for the play. It tells the setting ("In fair Verona, where we lay our scene"), the basic plot of the play ("A pair of star-crossed lovers take their life"), and near the end it tells the audience to watch, and they will find out the story ("The which, if you with patient ears attend")

The chorus in Henry V is Shakespeare's best use of this device. It is particularly effective because, as the chorus points out, the action is grandiose and encompasses England and France and the famous battle of Agincourt.

There are two choruses, the one before the beginning of the play and the one before Act II. The first is the most famous, and it says basically "This play is set in Verona, and is about two people from two warring families who fall in love and end the feud by dying, so enjoy yourselves."

The Prologue is not a chorus in the Greek sense, who comments on the action of the play as it unfolds. Rather the Prologue sets the scene for the first two acts.
