Respond Emotionally. (Act 1) How do the events of the play make you feel at this point?

If I had missed the Prologue, I would be pretty happy at the end of Act I.  I really dislike sad endings (so why am I at a tragedy) so if I saw the Prologue, I would be pretty unhappy.


Without the Prologue, Act I would be a pretty happy thing.  The Prince has stopped the feuding in public.  Romeo and Juliet have fallen in love with one another.  This is looking good -- maybe it will be a case where the two can have a good life together and can even end the feud.


But the Prologue tells me this won't happen.  So it really is pretty sad.  I'm watching these two people fall in love and I know it's going to cause them both to die...
