The phrase "star-cross'd lovers" introduces the theme of love and fate by mainly describing love from far away or something like that because in Romeo and Juliet they cannot see each-other because of their families, therefore making them star-cross'd lovers.

The phrase "death-mark'd love" introduces the theme of love and fate by explaining how they will love til' "death do us part." It also introduces the theme of the prologue because in the prologue they love each-other until death, which helps the reader infer what will happen in the story in a type of way.

I never have read one word of Romeo and Juliet but I've heard reviews about it, I'm not sure if this is correct but I hope it helps you get the idea of what I am trying to explain. :)

Answer and Explanation:

The prologue of the play "Romeo and J.uliet" by William Shakespeare reveals two things about the main characters. First, it is clear they are destined to meet. That is what "star-cross'd lovers" means. Something that is crossed (written) in the stars is something whose fate cannot be changed. It must happen, and so it will. Finally, the second thing revealed in the prologue is that Romeo and J.uliet will die. They have a "death mark'd love", the type of love driven by so much passion that it is destructive:

<em><u>A pair of star-cross'd lovers take their life; </u></em>

<em>Whose misadventured piteous overthrows </em>

<em>Do with their death bury their parents' strife. </em>

<em><u>The fearful passage of their death-mark'd love, </u></em>

<em>And the continuance of their parents' rage, </em>

<em>Which, but their children's end, nought could remove, </em>

<em>Is now the two hours' traffic of our stage;</em>

<em />

This is the least suspenseful prologue of all, since the whole story is summarized in it. Romeo and J.uliet's love was forbidden due to the bloody feud between their families. Even though their fate was to meet and fall in love, it was also to die for that love.

Note: I've spelled J.uliet like this because, for some reason, Brainly sees it as a link or inappropriate word now.
