The Green Knight is seen as unpredictable and wild in his behaviors which correspond perfectly to nature as it is unpredictable in what the weather will hold as well as wild in the sense of literal, nature is wild.

This is the time that the chorus turns on Medea throughout the play. The chorus can not intervene in the action of the play. The chorus can only interact with the characters, summarize the action, and reflect what the audience is feeling or thinking.
