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")
