Star cross'd lovers and death mark'd love are examples of metaphors? No they are not. "Bury their parents' strife" maybe. There are no similes in the prologue.
"Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean" The use of "hands" here is of course a synecdoche. "Blood" is used as a metaphor for guilt. "Bury their parents' strife" Burying is a metaphor for disposing of anything, even a disagreement.

The major plot element spoiled in the prologue of Romeo and Juliet is the tragic ending of the play, where the two young lovers, Romeo and Juliet, ultimately die.

The Prologue. There is a second prologue just before Act 2.
In the play "Romeo and Juliet," Shakespeare uses a prologue to set the scene and provide background information. Many novels, such as "Pride and Prejudice" by Jane Austen, start with a prologue that introduces the main characters or themes. Some movies, like "Star Wars: A New Hope," begin with a prologue that gives context to the story before the main plot starts.
The line from the prologue of Romeo and Juliet that foreshadows the tragic ending of the play is "A pair of star-crossed lovers take their life."
