1. B. Prince: See what a scourge is laid upon your hate, That heaven finds means to kill your joys with love;This best reflects the overall theme because it shows how the hate between the families drove Romeo and Juliet to take their own lives so they could be with the person whom they love.2. to inform the audience where the story takes place, to set up the central conflict between the families, to invoke feelings of sympathy in the audience.The prologue states the setting of the play as well as the social status of the main characters. It also sets up the central conflict by saying "from ancient grudge, breaks to new mutiny". This introduces the feud between the families. Also the prologue invokes feelings of sympathy because the audience knows that the children of the feuding families will take their own lives.3. He was prevented from delivering Friar Laurence's letter.Because Juliet's wedding to Paris was moved up, it was imperative that Friar John get the letter to Romeo immediately. Unfortunately he was quarantined in a house he had visited due to sickness and was unable to deliver the letter.

A prologue is an introductory chapter of a literary piece, usually providing extra information that can boost the plot, and prepares the audience for what they're about to read, casting the characters and pointing out motivations and backgrounds.Thereby (A.B.&D.;) are correct, since in "Romeo & Juliet" the prologue presents the social struggle between 2 clans to frame the story and make the readers empathize with the main characters and their motivations before they are introduced.

The obvious function of the Prologue as introduction to the Verona of Romeo and Juliet can obscure its deeper, more important function. The Prologue does not merely set the scene of Romeo and Juliet, it tells the audience exactly what is going to happen in the play.
