Romeo and Juliet is a widely known play about two ‘star cross’d lovers’ who fall passionately in love, then take their own lives. The plot follows two main characters, Romeo and Juliet, who are from two different families. The two families, the Capulets and Montagues share an ancient grudge between them, but this does not stop them falling for each other at first sight, and the play ends with them both tragically taking their lives as each think the other is dead. The play is drawn heavily upon fate, through the deaths, loves and coincidental meetings dotted throughout the play.
The play begins with a prologue detailing the basic plotline of the play. There are lots of clues and hints at the storyline, setting the scene for the audience. ‘Two households, both alike in dignity’ immediately lets the audience know the play is based around two families of the same wealth and social status. ‘In fair Verona, where we lay our scene’, they know where it is set, and being it Verona this gives a small outlook to the storyline. Verona is a very romantic city, with hot weather and [word here]. ‘From ancient grudge break to new mutiny’, so between these families there is a grudge going way back, but recently something has changed this, the eternal grudge has been disrupted. ‘A pair of star-cross’d lovers take their life;’ is probably the key line in the prologue. It gives the whole key to the play, two people who met coincidentally, tragically taking their lives as they can not bare to live in a world without the other. So the audience have the setting of the play, the conflict between the two families and the tragedy. They are hopefully now engrossed into the play.
