Most of the prologue relates very well to Act V, scene
iii, but I will help you stretch the truth to fit scene
ii.
Scene ii is a scene between two friars. One is Friar
Lawrence who hired Friar John to get a message to Romeo. Friar John uses the scene to
confess to Lawrence that he could not get the message through to Romeo because of
the Black Plague... or the Black Death.
This is ironic
because the prologue refers to their "death-mark'd"
love.
Another point of interest would be the "star-crossed
lovers" because this would mean that the two of them are together quite unlucky. This
message not getting to Romeo is the most crucial detail of the fifth act because this
information would have saved two lives and they would have lived happily ever after.
However, because it doesn't get to him, the prophetic prologue is fulfilled.
