Question

Read this line from the prologue of Romeo and Juliet.

A pair of star-cross’d lovers take their life;

What is the most likely reason the prologue reveals this detail about the play?

to engage the audience in the tragic story
to warn the audience about the bloodshed
to raise audience sympathy for the parents
to build suspense about how the story ends

Answer 1

Hello,

to engage the audience in the tragic story


Hope this helps

Answer 2

I think it would be "to engage the audience in the tragic story." It neither builds suspense or raise sympathy for the parents, and a writer's one main goal is to engage the readers.
