Romeo & JulietAct I, Prologue

Two households, both alike in dignity, In fair Verona, where we lay our scene, From ancient grudge break to new mutiny, Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean. From forth the fatal loins of these two foes A pair of star-cross'd lovers take their life; Whole misadventured piteous overthrows Do with their death bury their parents' strife. The fearful passage of their death-mark'd love, And the continuance of their parents' rage, Which, but their children's end, nought could remove, Is now the two hours' traffic of our stage; The which if you with patient ears attend, What here shall miss, our toil shall strive to mend.

ACT 1 Mind Map

Easy as A.B.C.Families have a strong influence over the decisions that are made in the family members lives. For Romeo and Juliet their families hate each other over an “ancient grudge” and so their children must also follow suit. In a thorough paragraph (following the ABC format), explain if these grudges should be upheld by the future generations or if the “axe” should be buried.
