  4. Translate: Romeo and Juliet come from families that are enemies. Romeo and Juliet’s mishaps brought about their death and only then did their parents hate for one another end. • Why?: The chorus speaks about fate because they are the narrator of the play. They are forshadowing what Romeo and Juliet’s fate is. This is an example of fate because they refer to their love as “death-marked love.” No matter what, Romeo and Juliet were destined to fall in love and have a tragic end. They had many mishaps along the way that all led back to the fate of their death. What: 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; Whose 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.
