The opening lines in Romeo and Juliet take the form of a sonnet that anticipates the themes and actions throughout the play. We are told that "Two households", that is, two noble families, hold an ancient grudge and that "civil blood makes civil hands unclean". This tells us about the violence that will engulf the play. We also hear about "star-cross'd lovers" that will lose their lives because of their families' strife. Thus we know from the start of the play that both protagonists of this love story are doomed to die. And though this will be a tragedy, not all is lost: the death of the young lovers shall bring both families together, putting an end to the bloodshed.
There are many different situations for this to happen. is this for vocabulary words? if so may I see them?

Foot
Definition:
No toes, no shoes, no soles. In literary circles, this term refers to the most basic unit of a poem's meter.
A foot is a combination of stressed and unstressed syllables. There are all kinds of feet in poetry, and they all sound different, so we'll give you a handy list. If you want to be the nerdiest nerd in the nerd herd, you should memorize it:
<span><span>Iamb: daDUM</span><span>Trochee: DUMda</span><span>Spondee: DUMDUM</span><span>Anapest: dadaDUM</span><span>Dactyl: DUMdada</span><span>Amphibrach: daDUMda</span><span>Pyrrhic: dada</span></span>
A combination of feet makes up a line of meter. So, for example, the most common meter in English poetry is iambic pentameter, which contains five (that's where that "pent-" comes from) iambs, all in a row.
Finding your feet can be as tricky as learning the Viennese waltz, but that's the main task of scansion, a fancy term for analyzing a poem's meter. Just remember the list above, and read aloud, read read aloud.
