To begin with, the chorus describes themselves as “the old, dishonoured ones, / the broken husks of men,” who live to suffer and learn under the iron-hand of justice (79-80; 250) These men are deemed incapable of physical action because of their age and by analogy are incapable of social action; consequently, they fail to address the need to act in accordance with social responsibility.
