What is the importance of lines 5 and 6 in the prologue from Romeo and Juliet?

They are just very important because of the hierarchy of Shakespeare's beliefs and his thoughts on the world around himself. You didn't read it before writing that answer, did you? Here are the lines: "From forth the fatal loins of these two foes a pair of star-crossed lovers take their life." They are important because they contain the most famous phrase in the whole prologue, the words that identify Romeo and Juliet, the children of the feuding families, as the "star-crossed lovers" who will be at the centre of the plot in this play.


How do lines 1-12 in Sonnet 116 by William Shakespeare develop the ideas in the poem about true lovers and how they grow their love for each other?

Lines 1 to 12 of a sonnet are virtually the whole poem, which is only 14 lines long. In this case, the last two lines can be paraphrased as "That's true, you know." so in effect the first twelve lines are the whole poem. This poem is not about love which grows. It is about love which endures. It "alters not", it is "an ever fixed mark" and is "never shaken". This unchanging love which he describes does not grow because things which grow change, and the love to which he refers, the "marriage of true minds", does not change at all and never will.

Why was the last line of Romeo and Juliet Than this of Juliet and her Romeo when the women were seen as possessions at this time and in this play?

Please rethink and rewrite this question. It makes no sense at all. At least two ideas are at work here - something about the last two lines and women as possessions. The last two lines of the play have nothing to do with expressing ideas about the role of women in Italy at the time the play takes place. The lines are a simple statement of fact that Romeo and Juliet were ill-fated lovers. There is no way to answer this question, because it is a jumble of ideas rather than a specific question.

What does the speech that queen Titania says in act 2 scene 1 lines 123-139 in A Midsummer Night's Dream mean?

Unfortunately, different editions of Shakespeare's plays have different line numbering so it is not altogether clear what passage you mean just from the numbers, unless you can be sure that we are using the same edition. I'm guessing that you are referring to the speech that starts "Set your heart at rest; the fairy land buys not the child of me." This speech is Titania's response to Oberon's demand, "I do but beg a little changeling boy to be my henchman." Oberon wants this boy to be a servant; Titania says no, she wants this boy. This speech is her explanation. The boy's mother was a "votaress of my order", or some kind of nun. She, "being mortal, of that boy did die", or she died giving birth to him. Titania says "for her sake do I rear up her boy and for her sake I will not part with him." The middle part of the speech talks about why Titania was particularly fond of the boy's mother. Apparently when she was pregnant they used to sit on the beach (Neptune's yellow sands) in India (in the spiced Indian air), at night watching the ships go by. The ships' full-bellied sails looked a bit like a pregnant belly, and the boy's mother would go about fething things (fetch me trifles) and bring them to Titania sort of like a merchant ship. Her waddling pregnant walk is called a "swimming gait"--a much nicer expression than waddle.

Compare mermaids to fairies in A Midsummer Night's Dream?

In "A Midsummer Night's Dream," mermaids are not mentioned. Fairies, however, play a significant role as mischievous magical beings that meddle in the affairs of the human characters. While both mermaids and fairies are associated with enchantment and the supernatural, fairies in the play are more closely connected to the themes of love, transformation, and the blurred lines between reality and fantasy.


What happens in A Midsummer Night's Dream?

PLOT SUMMARY: Lysander loves Hermia and Hermia loves Lysander. Demetrius used to love Helena but is now in love with Hermia. Helena loves Demetrius. Egeus, Hermia's father, orders Hermia to marry Demetrius and gets the Duke of Athens involved, who explains to Hermia that if she does not obey her father she may be beheaded or forced into a life of nunnery. Next, Hermia and Lysander escape to the forest to hide from the Duke and Egeus, but Demetrius and Helena follow. Meanwhile, Oberon, King of the Fairies, and Titania, Queen of the Fairies are arguing over a boy who Titania adopted. Later, Oberon orders Puck to squeeze a special love juice in Titania's eyes as she sleeps so that the first creature she sees when she wakes up, she will fall in love with. Then, after hearing Demetrius rejecting Helena, Oberon decides that Puck should then squeeze juice into Demetrius' eyes to make him fall in love with Helena. However, Puck makes a mistake and puts the juice in the eyes of Lysander instead. Helena then stumbles over Lysander and awakes him, which causes him to then fall in love with Helena, growing hatred for Hermia, and rejects her for her best friend and man stealer Helena. In the middle of all of this confusion, a group of workmen from Athens are rehearsing a play that they will perform at the Duke's wedding. The two main actors are Nick Bottom and Peter Quince. Puck mischieviously casts a spell on Nick Bottom and magically gives him the head of a donkey! But, Bottom is the very first thing that Titania sees as she awakes and instantly falls in love with him! As Titania and Bottom admire eachother, Oberon again orders Puck to make sure DEMETRIUS falls in love with Helena and eventually Puck gets it right. Although, with Lysander AND Demetrius follow Helena like lost puppies, Helena feels she is being mocked. Finally Oberon decides that all the confusion must come to an end and puts all four lovers to sleep and gives Lysander an antidote for the juice so that he will again fall in love with Hermia. Oberon also gives Titania an antidote and the Fairy King and Queen are reunited. Theseus and Hippolyta find the four lovers in the forest and see the love they have for their admired ones and decide that they should have a joint wedding. So, they all live happily ever after, whilst watching Nick Bottom and Peter Quince's dedicated play.
