What is a sonnet cycle?
A Sonnet Cycle is a set of sonnets that usually tell a story (often a love story of some kind). In English the two first sonnet cycles were Philip Sidney's Astrophel to Stella - which tells the story of Astrophel's love for Stella - and Samuel Daniel's Delia, which is very similar. Astrophel and Delia don't have much of a plotline (there is a faint one, if you read carefully), but W S Blunt's Esther has a clear story to tie the sonnets together (it is probably a heavily fictionalised account of his affair with Catherine Skittles Walters). A group of sonnets which share a common theme, but don't tell a story, is often called a Crown of Sonnets. If the unifying factor is a story of some kind, Sonnet Cycle is the preferred term. But many critics use Crown of Sonnets and Sonnet Cycle interchangeably (and few contemporary poets write either).
Were shakepheres sonnets autobiographical?
The sonnets do not tell a story, and so cannot tell the life of Shakespeare or anyone else. They are, however, personal in the sense that the sentiments expressed were Shakespeare's own. However, we might have a tendency (partly from desperation, knowing so little about Shakespeare's life) to read more into them than they can really bear. The affection which he expresses, for example, may have been Platonic more than romantic or sexual, although we would like to read it in the latter senses.

Is the prologue of Romeo and Juliet relevant in today's society and was it relevant in shakespeares time?
The prologue does not have a social or moral purpose, it has a dramatic purpose which is to set the scene and give a rough sketch of the direction the play's headed in. It is relevant to the play whenever the play is performed. Dispensing with it would be like dispensing with the Chorus in Oedipus Rex or the Narrator in Our Town; they are part of the way the playwright chose to tell his story.
