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.

-The Chorus is omniscient about what happens in the play.
-The Chorus is sympathetic to the lovers’ plight.
-The Chorus finds honor in the feud between the families.
-The Chorus is sympathetic to the lovers' families, who lose their children.
-The Chorus does not support the lovers' betrayal of their families.

Respuesta :

Answer:

-The Chorus is omniscient about what happens in the play.

-The Chorus is sympathetic to the lovers' plight.

Explanation:

-The Chorus knows what happens in the story completely, fully understanding the death of Romeo and Juliet and the events leading up to and after it.

-The Chorus refers to Romeo and Juliet's love as Star-cross'd, Piteous, and death-mark'd, showing that despite their love, it was never meant to be.

-The Chorus refers to the feud between the Montague's and the Capulet's as alike in dignity, but civil blood makes civil hands unclean. The honor between the families themselves is absent.

-The Chorus says "And the continuance of their parents' rage, which, but their children's end, nought could remove...", meaning that the pain and grief caused by Romeo and Juliet's deaths was enough to destroy the grudge all together. The Chorus, however, never states that the pain was understandable, instead saying that the families were so blind with rage only the death of their children could make them see again.

-The Chorus never says anything about the lovers betraying their parents, meaning that it isn't correct.

I may be wrong, but I did my best. I hope it helped!
