Thomas spells out one of the play's main conflicts when he chides the
Second Priest for speaking harshly to the Chorus right before his
entrance. In the quote, he proposes a dichotomy between acting and
suffering. The former is action, best understood as an individual's
attempt to influence his own fate. The latter is suffering, best
defined as "patience to endure" rather than as a sensation of pain. It
calls to mind the women of the Chorus, who simply assume that what will
come will come
