Answer 1

The prologue of Romeo and Juliet introduces these elements of the play:
the setting of a lovely city Verona
the characters of the lovers
the characters of the lovers' parents
the conflict of a grudge between the two families

Answer 2

the setting of a lovely city, the characters of the lovers, the character of the lovers' parents, the conflict of a grudge between the two families

The lovely city is the first thing introduced in the prologue. The line "In fair Verona where we lay our scene" names the city and describes it as fair. The characters of the lovers are introduced when it says, "From forth the fatal loins of these two foes/ A pair of star-crossed lovers take their life." These two lines tell us that children from enemies fall in love and commit suicide. The characters of the parents are also introduced in these lines and continued when it describes how the death of their children is the only thing that can remove the grudge. The grudge conflict is introduced in the line "From ancient grudge break to new mutiny/ Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean". The courtyard and family tomb are not in the prologue and the two lovers never fight.
