In the opening Prologue of Romeo and Juliet, the Chorus refers to the title characters as “star-crossed lovers,” an allusion to the belief that stars and planets have the power to control events on Earth
"A pair of star-cross'd lovers take their life;
Whose misadventured piteous overthrows
Do with their death bury their parents' strife"
Basically, a pair of unlucky lovers whose death ends their parents' feud.
In the prologue, Romeo and Juliet were described as a pair of uncrossed lovers.
The prologue tells us how Romeo and Juliet are both going to end up dying and only their death will resolve the two families' everlasting feud
Romeo's family hates Juliet's family and vise-versa because they both want to be the most well known richest families in their town. They have never gotten along.
They live in Verona; they have an "ancient grudge"; they have recently started open warfare again; the leaders of the two households each have children.
Capulet and Montague.

A prologue, or prolog, is an opening to a story that establishes the setting and gives background details, often some earlier story that ties into the main one, and other miscellaneous information. Prologue is not a poem.
When it says "Two households both alike in dignity" it means two families that are exactly the same.
The prologues are not part of the action of the play and so belong to no act or scene. Act 1 scene one starts when the first prologue ends. Open up a copy of the play and look at the first page. The prologue starts with the words, "Two households, both alike in dignity."
The deaths of Romeo and Juliet
"Two households . . . break to new mutiny". It's not the households but the people who live there who do the breaking--the households are treated as people. "Whose misadventured piteous o'erthrows . . . bury their parents' strife." It's tough to tell, but the noun in this sentence is I believe "o'erthrows", meaning reversals of fortune, which of course cannot perform the act of burying anything.
In the prologue, it is mentioned that there are two households, the Capulets and the Montagues, who are enemies. In Act 1, scene 5 of "Romeo and Juliet," Juliet and Romeo's initial encounter at the Capulet party echoes the prologue by highlighting the forbidden love and tragedy that will unfold due to the feud between the two households. Juliet's line, "My only love sprung from my only hate," underscores the theme of love emerging from a place of conflict, mirroring the central conflict between the two families.

The Prologue. There is a second prologue just before Act 2.
The Prologue is the first to speak: "Two households, both alike in dignity..." If you mean which of the characters, Romeo or Juliet speaks first, it is Romeo in Act I scene 1. Juliet does not appear until Act I scene 3
A prologue is explanatory text or information presented to an audience so that the action of the poem, book, or play can take place without an establishing sequence or exposition. It is the opening section of a longer work. It also means the preface or introductory part of a novel, long poem, or play. A prologue can provide background information, hint at theme, or foreshadow (or obviously reveal) what is yet to come. An example of a prologue is the prologue found before Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. Other examples could begin with phrases such as : "This book is about...and how the characters..." "The origin of this story is..." "The setting of this play is in..."
