Prologue of Shaekspear

The Prologugue

Also hier ist der Prologe von dem Buch romeo und Julia auf englisch und dazu muss ich ein paar Aufgaben machen die ich überhaupt nicht kann bzw.
nicht verstehe.


PROLOGUE

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;
Whole 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.


1a) How much does the Chorus reveal about the play?
b) What details does the Chorus not mention

2a) Try to identify the poetic form used by the Chorus
b) Can you think of reasons why Shakespeare starts his
tragedy this way? Consider in particular the situation
in theatres at Shakespear`s time?
