What does the prologue from shakespeare mean?
A prologue is a speech given before the start of the play. The person delivering the prologue speaks it directly to the audience and never interacts with anyone on stage. Shakespeare sometimes gave the prologue a name (he is the poet Gower in Pericles and the abstraction Rumour in Henry IV Part II) but the prologue is not a character in the play and is not acting a part. Shakespeare occasionally placed prologues at other places in the play. There are several in Henry V, one before Act 2 of Romeo and Juliet, and in A Winter's Tale (which has no prologue at the beginning) Time comes on in the middle and tells the audience that sixteen years have passed and that the baby the audience saw in the last act is now a grown woman.
