Best Answer

Two households, both alike in dignity,

In fair Verona, where we lay our scene,

From ancient grudge break to new mutiny,

Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean.

From forth the fatal loins of these two foes

A pair of star-cross'd lovers take their life;

Whose misadventured piteous overthrows

Do with their death bury their parents' strife.

The fearful passage of their death-mark'd love,

And the continuance of their parents' rage,

Which, but their children's end, nought could remove,

Is now the two hours' traffic of our stage;

The which if you with patient ears attend,

What here shall miss, our toil shall strive to mend.

The play Romeo and Juliet does not have a narrator but Romeo often talks himself trying to tell the audience his feelings for things. This is the same idea as a 1st person point of view in a story.

The Prologue is not spoken by any characters in the play. Nor is it in any of Shakespeare's plays with prologues, or indeed in any contemporary play with a prologue. In Romeo and Juliet, as in Henry V, the prologue is spoken by an unnamed chorus. Often the prologue is an abstract concept: Rumour in Henry IV Part 2 or Time in The Winter's Tale (Prologue to Act IV). Revenge was a popular speaker for the prologue, in the Spanish Tragedy of Kyd or Locrine for example. However, the Romeo and Juliet prologues are spoken by an anonymous chorus.

The chorus is not a character in the play and does not interact with the other characters. He gives the prologues to the play and to act II and that's it.
