. As a prologue to the play, the Chorus enters. In a fourteen-line sonnet, the Chorus describes two noble households (called “houses”) in the city of Verona. The houses hold an “ancient grudge” (Prologue.2) against each other that remains a source of violent and bloody conflict. The Chorus states that from these two houses, two “star-crossed”
(Prologue.6) lovers will appear. These lovers will mend the quarrel between their families by dying. The story of these two lovers, and of the terrible strife between their families, will be the topic of this play. Read a translation of Prologue Analysis This opening speech by the Chorus serves as an introduction to Romeo and Juliet. We are provided with
information about where the play takes place and given some background information about its principal characters. Read more about the setting of the play. The obvious function of the Prologue as an introduction to the Verona of Romeo and Juliet can obscure its deeper, more important function. The Prologue does not merely set the scene of Romeo
and Juliet, it tells the audience exactly what is going to happen in the play. The Prologue refers to an ill-fated couple with its use of the word “star-crossed,” which means, literally, against the stars. Stars were thought to control people’s destinies. But the Prologue itself creates this sense of fate by providing the audience with the knowledge that
Romeo and Juliet will die even before the play has begun. The audience therefore watches the play with the expectation that it must fulfill the terms set in the Prologue. The structure of the play itself is the fate from which Romeo and Juliet cannot escape. Read more about foreshadowing in the play. Did you know you can highlight text to take a note?

Who Should Read “Romeo and
Juliet” and Why? “Romeo and Juliet” is a classical play written by one of the most influential playwrights of all times. If you are a lover of flowery language and want to read classic works, this is where you should start. William Shakespeare Biography William Shakespeare was an English playwright and actor who is considered as one of the most
influential playwrights in the world history. His life-work consists of around 40 plays. Plot The drama begins as the servants of two noble families, Capulet and Montague are having a fight in the streets of Verona. One of the Montagues – Benvolio, tries to put a stop to the fight, but instead of stopping it, he involves himself in it as Tybalt, from the
Capulet clan arrives. The citizens are not happy with the constant turbulencies, so the ruler of Verona decides to put a stop to the uproar by bringing a death sentence to the picture for anyone who starts a fight in the future. Romeo is a son of Montague, is in love with a girl that does not love him back, named Rosaline. At the same time, Paris is in
love with Juliet, and asks her to marry him. She is a Capulet, and her father asks Paris to wait for two years, until Juliet at least turns fourteen. Otherwise, he is more than happy with the match, so he invites Paris to the masquerade ball he traditionally holds every year, along with many other guests, hoping he could show his affections towards Juliet
on the ball.
Meanwhile, when Capulet’s servant is taking around the list of invitations, Romeo and Benvolio encounter him, and Benvolio suggests to Romeo that they attend the ball, so he could get a chance to look at other beautiful women with which Verona is filled with. Romeo decides to go, but not because of the wish to meet other women, but because his
love Rosaline will be there as well. However, on the feast, something Romeo could not imagine happens – he falls in love with another woman (Juliet) at first sight and forgets about Rosaline completely. He succeeds to talk with her and he can see that she also feels the same attraction. So, they kiss, without knowing who they are. The truth about their
identities upsets them later on – but it is too late, they are already in love. Romeo, not knowing what to do, goes to seek advice from Friar Lawrence, who when Romeo tells him his story agrees to marry him with Juliet in secret. He does it most of all because he believes that such a marriage could put an end to the fight between their families. The
next day, Romeo and Juliet are married. However, tragedy is just around the corner. Just a day after their secret wedding, two men from the Montague family encounter Juliet’s cousin Tybalt, who has noticed and recognized Romeo on the feast and therefore is challenging him to a duel.
Romeo begs to stop the duel, but one of the men from his family is disgusted by such a plea and starts the duel. Romeo, trying to stop the fight, finds himself in between, and kills Tybalt. As a result, he is banished from Verona for his crime, as the ruler has promised.
He spends his last night in the city with his love, Juliet. She is worried and does not know what to do, since her father wants to marry her off, not knowing she is already married. She first tries to talk to her nurse, but she is not satisfied with her advice – to marry Paris since he is a better match, and decides to ask for help from Friar Lawrence. He has
a plan that is supposed to reunite the lovers. The night before she is to be wed to Paris, Juliet must drink a poison that will only make her look dead for some time. After they put her to rest in her family’s crypt, Friar Lawrence will bring Romeo along to revive her, and they will be reunited, with no more limits to their love. However, the plan goes
wrong: Juliet drinks the poison, but Father Lawrence’s message that is supposed to explain the plan to Romeo, never reaches him. The only thing he hears is that his love is dead.
He cannot imagine living without her, so he decides to end his life as well. He buys a poison and goes to Juliet’s tomb to drink it, so they rest together.
There, he meets Paris, whom he kills in a fight. He then sits next to Juliet’s body and drinks the poison, dying by her side. Just a moment too late, Juliet awakes. She realizes the tragedy that has occurred and does not see a point in living anymore. She kisses Romeo’s lips hoping the poison leftover will kill her, but when it does not, she stabs herself in
her heart and falls dead beside Romeo. The two families arrive at the tomb and are torn apart by the sight. Realizing that their rage made their children unhappy, they decide to bury the hatchet and build a new, peaceful Verona.
Romeo and Juliet Epilogue Although this is a tragic drama, all is well in the end – if you take the general wellbeing of the people in Verona as your focal point.
The premise that love leads to suicide and finally to peace is proven, and although you are sad for the characters’ destinies, you are happy about the future that looks brighter. Like this summary?

Mainly his plays were comedies, histories and tragedies. Some of his famous works like Henry V, Richard III, Hamlet, Othello and A Midsummer Night's Dream. BACKGROUND-I A tragic love
story is “Romeo and Juliet”, the sad story of two young lovers Romeo and Juliet, who belongs to two respectable families of Verona, the Montagues, and the Capulets. The two honorable families have grudges against each other and have been fighting each other as sworn enemies for a long time. The story begins with a street fight between the
servants of the two rival families, who are consequently joined by the heads of the families, the Montagues and the Capulets. Prince Escalus is fed up by the fights between those two families and he scolds them, restores order, and threatens death to any member of either family found indulging street fights, later on. He leaves the place taking Lord
Capulet with him from there. After the departure of Prince, only Lord and Lady Montague and Benvolio, their nephew, stay there as the others depart. Lord Montague asks to Benvolio that Romeo is looking unhappy for a surprisingly long time, weeping and moaning, remaining out all night however going into the house when the sun rises, locking
himself in his room with the curtains drawn. Benvolio assures him that he will try to find what is troubling Romeo. On the other side Paris, a young relative of Prince Escalus, occupied with a discussion with Lord Capulet. Paris wishes to marry fourteen years old Juliet, the daughter of the Capulets. Lord Capulet tells to Paris that Juliet is yet too young
to marry, yet reveals to Paris that he won't go against the marriage if Paris can win Juliet's consent. It just so happens, Lord Capulet welcomes Paris to a supper to be held at his home that night. In the mean time, Benvolio meets Romeo and discovers that Romeo is madly in love with Rosaline, who doesn't love him. Lord Capulet has given his servant
a list of visitors whom he needs to see and ensure that they are invited to the Capulets' party that evening. However, the servant can't read the names in the list and henceforth asks two strangers in the street. The two strangers are actually Romeo and Benvolio. Romeo reads out the names of the guests and unexpectedly discovers that fair Rosaline
name in the list, with whom he is madly in love, is also one of the guests in the party. Romeo and Benvolio choose to go to the party. Romeo and Benvolio cover their faces as masked entertainers and torchbearers and entered the supper. Romeo sees Juliet dancing with a gentleman while the guests are engaged in dancing. Romeo is mesmerized by
her beauty and tries to discover from a servant, what her identity is. It is at this point that Romeo says these lines. The lines expressed by Romeo are taken from Act I Scene V when Romeo ends up seeing Juliet for the first time in the party hosted by the Capulets. Both Romeo and Juliet do not know each other at that moment. SUMMARY – I
ROMEO’S SPEECH Romeo stands alone and happily praises Juliet's beauty. His words seem to come from someone who has not seen anybody so beautiful and lovely as Juliet. It is night and the room is lit with lights (torches). Romeo exclaims that Juliet is brighter than the blaze of the lights (torches).
It infers that her brightness surpasses the torches and has illuminated the hall. In the following two lines again there is a reference to the darkness of the night and the brightly shining lady. Romeo compares Juliet to a jeweled earring hanging against the cheek of an African lady. Here again, it implies that Juliet is plainly seen in the middle of others
as a result of her brightness. Romeo is so fascinated with her goddess-like beauty that he announces that she is extremely beautiful for this world. He praises her beauty saying that she surpasses the other ladies like a white dove in the middle of a flock of crows. Romeo is so overwhelmed by her beauty that he tells to himself that when that dance is
over, he will watch her where she stands and he will touch her hand with his rude hand so that his rude hand is blessed. Then, at that moment he asks himself a question whether his heart loved anybody before. He reveals to himself that assuming it was true; he would reject it on the grounds that he had never felt so much in love since he had never
seen anybody really beautiful like Juliet until that evening.
BACKGROUND-II Romeo waits in Capulet s garden under Juliet's window, and catches her confess to the stars that she loves him. He reveals his quality to her, and in an impassioned love scene, they decide to be married secretly. The following day, Juliet sends her nurse, of whom she has made a friend, to make final arrangements, and the wedding is
performed at the cell of Friar Laurence, Romeo's friend. The two lovers depart expecting to meet each other in Juliet's chamber that evening. Getting back from his wedding, Romeo comes upon his friends, Benvolio and Mercutio, in a quarrel with Tybalt, who has been looking for Romeo because of his interference at the ball.
Tybalt gives a valiant effort to start a fight against Romeo. However Romeo remembers that now Tybalt is his brother-in-law and he will not quarrel with him. Mercutio doesn't understand Romeo's softness and he decides to fight with him, and when Romeo and Benvolio try to stop them at that moment Mercutio is killed by Tybalt. Aroused by the
death of his dearest friend, Romeo tosses to the side his lenity, kills Tybalt, and escapes as the angry citizen. At that point we come to Act III Scene II, where we discover Juliet is waiting in her father's orchard for Romeo's arrival. Juliet was unaware of what has happened, and waits out the passing of the day. She is more impatient than any time for
that night; Romeo is to come to her as her husband.
Juliet conveys an ardent monologue, popularly known as 'Juliet's invocation to the night'. In her monologue, Juliet urges the sun on to its setting in the West, so night may come sooner. She yearns for the shelter of darkness when Romeo can come to her unseen. The dark suits lover, for love is blind and the beauty of sweethearts is sufficient light for
them. While Romeo's speech features the mesmerizing physical beauty of Juliet, Juliet's monologue features Juliet's intensity of love for Romeo. SUMMARY-II JULIET’S MONOLOGUE Juliet addresses to Romeo as 'day in the night' since his presence will shine out against the darkness. She envisions night like a bird and accepts that Romeo will come
gliding on the wings of the night like 'new snow' on a raven's back. She tends to the night imperatively calling it 'gentle night' and 'dark browed night'. She pleads it to carry her Romeo to her. From that point onward, when she passes on, she requests that the night take him and set him up in heaven with the stars so he will make the face of heaven
beautiful and charming. She hopes that when that happens 'all the world will be love with night, and it will not pay more attention to the over bright sun. The monologue depends on the binding together pictures of night and light. Juliet courts this night, which by its darkness will permit Romeo's safe journey to her. The main light she needs is Romeo
himself, who is 'day in the night'. The light of the day and the 'garish sun' offer nothing to her; they are just drawn-out. It is a night that is 'loving', for it favors her love with its darkness and silence and allows that love to shine out.
Indeed, even the stars, emblems of the destiny she doesn't recognize, appear to regard her. Romeo will be made eternal by the stars. Juliet's monologue resembles singing in the face of death.
Accordingly, Juliet rushes the happening to her wedding night. To put it plainly, love has a place with Juliet, since she is married, however she doesn't claim it, and she can't claim love until Romeo has her. That is the reason she is waiting by now as eagerly as a child waits for a reward.
