By putting this information in the prologue the audience already feels sympathy for the young couple as we know that their love will be a tragic one ending in death. Their families’ feud is described as an, “ancient grudge”. This tells us just how long their feud has been going on for and it’s so old that they forgotten about how it started in the first place. ‘Ancient’ is a powerful word, you wouldn’t describe something that happened a few years ago ancient.
