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 are the benefits of practicing sports activities and cultural events outside of class? Needs to be 8-10 sentences long.
Svetlanka [38]
Kids’ character and moral principles are formed through fair play. Moreover, children who are actively engaged in sports can be good role models for their peers from school, neighborhood, or even school choir, and inspire them to start playing some sports as well.Playing sports enables them to create friendships they otherwise might not have formed. For example, the bonds professional athletes build on the field remain intact even when they are not playing sports, and often last a lifetime.Sports bring people together from all over the world, regardless of their nationality, religion, culture, or skin color.<span>Teamwork and benefits of social interaction among children are best seen in sports. Kids learn they are part of a team that requires the same effort from all members to succeed, as well as how to win with class, and lose with dignity.They view competitions on and off the field as opportunities to learn from their success and failure. Also, losing often motivates kids to work even harder for next time.They learn to respect authority, rules, team colleagues, and opponents.<span>Sport is a valuable learning environment for children. Numerous studies have shown that children who play sports perform better at school. It is also within the sport that peer status and peer acceptance is established and developed.</span>Sports experiences help to build positive self- esteem in children.<span>Also, participating in sports can be a helpful way of reducing stress and increasing feelings of physical and mental well-being, as well as fighting against juvenile delinquency, conflict, and aggressive outbursts. The point is to keep the body in good health to be able to keep our mind sharp and clear.</span></span><span>When children learn positive life lessons through sports, there is no doubt they will become honest, reliable adults who will try to help others in need at any moment.

You can pick the examples. I hope this helps</span>

Some people believe that Shakespeare isn’t the true author of his works because
HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

There was no record seen by Wilmot, to show that Shakespeare read a book, let alone write a letter.

Explanation:

James Wilmot, a reverend and literary scholar came up with an idea in 1781 that Shakespeare was not Shakespeare. He went to the house that William Shakespeare lived during his lifetime, and went through all the libraries in his Stratford residence and searched for correspondence.

There was no record seen by Wilmot, to show that Shakespeare read a book, let alone write a letter. He did not find Shakespeare signatures on the bottom of the old letters that were seen. He also stated that there was no property, belonging to Shakespeare, that was written on the on the endpapers of a Bible.  

James Wilmot concluded that the plays of Shakespeare could not have been written by someone who did not leave an literary paper trail behind him.
