INTERPRET An important theme, or message, in Romeo and Juliet is the struggle

l's Prologue establishes the fate of the main characters. Why do you think Shakespeare
gives away the ending before the play begins?
Answer
The Prologue of Act I of Romeo and Juliet establishes the fate of the main characters by foreshadowing their tragic end. Shakespeare gives away the ending before the play begins to emphasize the power of fate and to create a sense of inevitability and tragedy for the audience.
