Prince Escalus
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Prince Escalus, prince of Verona, is the mediator of the feuding families in Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. He is a relative of Mercutio and Count Paris and is the marshal law of the land. He could be considered as the chorus of the play.
Escalus hates the feud between the two families of Capulet and Montague and tries to make peace between the two houses. He exiles Romeo for killing Tybalt, a Capulet. He also delivers the famous final lines of the play:
| “ | For never was a story of more woe than this of Juliet and her Romeo. | ” |
