Based on the plot and character information the prologue contains, we can assume that Romeo and Juliet is a tragedy. The Prologue begins with “two households, both alike in dignity, in fair Verona, where we lay our scene” to set up the story. In a tragedy, the audience first sees the order of society, and based on the prologue introduction we can see that there are two households who are both strong and have a lot of dignity. The Prologue then says “from ancient grudge break to new mutiny, where civil blood makes civil hands unclean”, and it is from these lines we understand the conflict in the story. The two families have a long history of fighting, to the point where normal people are becoming hateful and chaotic.
