Romeo and Juliet: Quotations and Analysis
Subjects / English / William Shakespeare - Romeo and Juliet
Romeo and Juliet, as we know it now, is split into five acts which are then subdivided into scenes. In Shakespeare's day there wouldn't have been this division of the action. Modern audiences expect breaks in the action for changes of scene and costume. In Elizabethan theatre there wasn't a curtain, nor was there much scenery to change, and the action would be continuous. In the prologue, the Chorus introduces us to the play and gives us a brief summary. We are told exactly what is going to happen so there are no surprises at the end of the play! The prologue is written in sonnet form - that means it is presented as a 14 line poem. There is more information about sonnets in Romeo and Juliet in another GCSEPod title, Romeo and Juliet: Language and imagery.
