They have very similar meanings. "Death-mark'd love" is pretty self explanatory, and "star-cross'd lovers" are lovers that are fated for doom. This basically foreshadows the fate of Romeo and Juliet and what will likely happen to them due to their forbidden love. Unfortunately I don't have the prologue on me nor did I read it in a very long time, so I can't provide evidence. But that's basically what it is trying to say.

In the prologue to Romeo and Juliet, the Chorus reveals that the play is going to be a tragedy. The audience learns that Romeo and Juliet are ”star-cross’d lovers” destinated to dir, which brings out the themes of love and fate.


In the prologue, Shakespeare uses phrases such as ”death-marked love” and ”star-cross’d lovers” to show that fortune and fate are responsible for the tragedy. Shakespeare also described Romeo and Juliet’s defiance of their parents as ”misadventured piteous overthrows.” This description suggests that the lovers’ efforts to be together will be hopeless against what fate has in store for them.

Shakespeare also suggests that the death of the lovers will reconcile the two families and bring peace:


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,

What is the correct way to punctuate this sentence?
valina [46]

The way to punctuate this sentence will be A.  I felt so bad for ruining Joan's book; by accidentally dropping it in the pool—that I bought her a brand new copy.

<h3>What is punctuation?</h3>

Punctuation adds silent intonation to our work. Using a comma, a period, an exclamation point, or a question mark, we can pause, stop, stress, or ask a question. Writing is more precise and clear when punctuation is used correctly because it enables the writer to pause, stop, or emphasize specific sentences or clauses.

In this case, the way to punctuate this sentence will be that I felt so bad for ruining Joan's book; by accidentally dropping it in the pool—that I bought her a brand new copy. The comma is a punctuation mark that divides elements of a phrase and symbolizes a brief pause.

The author uses a third-person omniscient to help the readers visualize the challenges and hardships the miners faced.

Evidence:

I read this story about 2 weeks ago, but from what I recall, there's a whole paragraph in the beginning of the excerpt describing the miner's condition when they stepped off the boat.
