What is revealed about the Chorus in this excerpt from the prologue of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet? CHORUS: 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.

Answer:

  • The chorus describes two noble households (called “houses”) in the city of Verona.

Explanation:

The houses hold an "old resentment" against one another that remaining parts a wellspring of savage and bleeding struggle. The Chorus expresses that from these two houses, two "star-crossed" sweethearts will show up. These darlings will patch the squabble between their families by passing on. The narrative of these two darlings, and of the horrible hardship between their families, will be the theme of this play.
