YES WE CAN DO SHAKESPEARE! Our doubts are traitors, and make us lose the good we oft might win, by fearing to attempt - William Shakespeare
“Two households, both alike in dignity, ” • Two families, the Montagues and the Capulets, both equal in money, status, and respect.
“In fair Verona where we lay our scene, ” The setting for this play is Verona, Italy.
“From ancient grudge break to new mutiny, ” A new fight breaks out based on old hatred anger.
Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean, • Citizens of Verona dirty their hands with the blood of other citizens from the violence.
“From forth the fatal loins of these two foes, ” From these two enemies
“A pair of star-crossed lovers take their life, ” Two unlucky lovers are born
_ “Whose misadventured piteous overthrows, doth with their death bury their parent’s strife, ” The mistakes, miscommunications, and resulting suicides of the lovers ends their parents’ feud.
“The fearful passage of their deathmarked love, ” The story of their tragic love
“And the continuance of their parent’s rage, ” And their parents continued anger
“Which but their children’s end naught could remove, ” Only the deaths of their children could remove the hatred between these two enemies.
Is now the two hours traffic of our stage, • For the next two hours we will tell the story on stage.
“The which if you with patient ears attend, what here shall miss our toil shall strive to mend. ” • This final couplet asks the audience to listen patiently and what they missed in the prologue the actors will try to make clear in the play.
