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.

Senator Warren states that the effects of pay discrimination are long-lasting. Is this a valid argument supported by accurate ev
Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

No; Warren weakens her point by claiming that the Paycheck Fairness Act would "give women the tools to combat wage discrimination." No; Warren weakens her point by noting, "Today, a woman can get fired for asking the guy across the hall how much money he makes." Yes; Warren supports her point by noting, "Pay inequality also means a tougher retirement for women."

Explanation:

In addition to the aforementioned answer, the rhetoric that women make less simply because of discrimination, is factually inaccurate and is not supported by any data. In fact the difference in income is always drawn back to the job choices that women choose. Women are more art/literature bound for jobs whereas men choose higher paying jobs such as STEM, engineering, etc...

50 points!! I need a poem with the word ( if ) in it. that's it!! ​
marishachu [46]

Answer:   If you can keep your head when all about you  

   Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,  

If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,

   But make allowance for their doubting too;  

If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,

   Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,

Or being hated, don’t give way to hating,

   And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise:

If you can dream—and not make dreams your master;  

   If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim;  

If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster

   And treat those two impostors just the same;  

If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken

   Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,

Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,

   And stoop and build ’em up with worn-out tools:

If you can make one heap of all your winnings

   And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,

And lose, and start again at your beginnings

   And never breathe a word about your loss;

If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew

   To serve your turn long after they are gone,  

And so hold on when there is nothing in you

   Except the Will which says to them: ‘Hold on!’

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,  

   Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch,

If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,

   If all men count with you, but none too much;

If you can fill the unforgiving minute

   With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,  

Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,  

   And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son!
