An Introduction to Shakespeare and Romeo and Juliet, Part 1

Question 14 • EN091 Freshman English A

Read the last line of the prologue of Romeo and Juliet.What here shall miss, our toil shall strive to mend.

Answer
A
What is lacking in this description is lacking in our play.
B
This prologue does not disclose all the juicy details of the story.
C
The play we are about to read will fill in the details of this story.
D
A prologue is merely an introduction; it cannot tell the whole story.

Explanation

The line means that if the prologue leaves anything out, the actors’ work in the play will make it clear. So the play will fill in the details of the story, which is choice C. Choice A is incorrect because the line says the play will try to mend what the prologue misses, not that the play shares the same gaps.
