Performance
The entire prologue is written in sonnet form. It basically summarizes the entire plot of Romeo and Juliet. It tells the audience that a son and a daughter of feuding families will fall in love. Their parents' hatred for each other drives the teenagers to commit suicide so that they can be together. Then, the families will forgive each other and end the feud. The sonnet ends by telling the audience that this play will take 2 hours to perform and if you are patient, you will see how it is all carried out. The traffic is the coming and goings of the actors's performances on stage.
When Pony is coming back from the movies, he realizes he is alone. His first mistake is that he didn't stop to wait for Darry, Sodapop, or one of the gang members to go with him to the movies. This results in him walking home alone, which in turn makes him easy bait. He then gets jumped by the Socs, all because he didn't wait for someone else to go with him.
