The prologue tells the reader about the fate of Romeo and Juliet, through Shakespeare’s witty language. Throughout the play it always maintains suspense and keeps the reader’s interest. The play is written in a way that the reader knows what’s going to happen and what has already happened while the characters in the do not, which causes the scenes to build suspense and become more dramatic.
