In Henry V, the Chorus informs us before each act of what is happening and where the action is taking place, warning us if the play jumps to certain periods of time. However, one of its main goals is to compensate for what the staging fails to achieve, to ask the audience to use their imagination and try to see what cannot be shown on stage. If we read this speech, we can see that everything The chorus tells us can in fact be summed up in a few sentences (The English fleet sets sail from Southampton and the siege of Harfleur begins by the English army. The ambassador returns with an offer from the King of France: the hand of his daughter Katharine, with a few duchies of little importance. The offer is rejected and the siege continues...). However, the importance of the speech lies in something different: the literary approach and techniques (language, style, tone…) that Chorus uses to arouse our attention, suspend our disbelief and stimulate us to use our imagination. The Chorus does this very intelligently in its use of verbs as in “Suppose” (Henry V, act 3, scene 1, line 3), “Play” (7), “here” (7), “Hear” (9) . , etc. Such phrasing gives enormous energy to the speech and we feel encouraged to participate in the piece and make the most of it. The style is adjectival, as in the following line: "With silken streamers young Phoebus [fan]." (6); Imaginative, as when the Chorus compares ships at sea to “A city on the fickle waves that dance” (15). The speech also contributes to the heroic tone of the work, highly patriotic and festive, and which, associated with numerous hyperbolic words, leads to creating an epic, exaggerated and almost mythical vision of the entire military operation: “Work , work your thoughts, and see a siege there: see the munitions on their cars, with mortal mouths gaping on Harfleur encircled. (25-27). The “artillery” on the “chariots” are compared to “fatal mouths” which turn towards Harfleur as the English army begins the siege of this French town. The description of these mouths which "yawned" at Harfleur certainly contributes to exaggerating the power of Henry's army. Henry's fleet is described as "majestic". (16). The Chorus is keen to present the fleet as powerful and numerous in order to exaggerate Henry's military power..
