Prologue to Romeo and Juliet‚ the Chorus tells us of an "ancient grudge" between two households of equal dignity that has broken out into a "new mutiny" that will cause blood to flow in the streets of Verona and will ultimately result in the deaths of the "star-cross’d lovers." The Chorus points to the heads of these two families as the source of the strife at hand‚ the rage of their parents causing the deaths of their children.
