Romeo And Juliet Act 2 Puns

I don’t quite understand why Shakespeare decided to include a second prologue for his second Act in Romeo and Juliet when it doesn’t really provide any further information which is not already obvious for the audience. Is the Act 2’s Chorus somewhat frivolous? Does it serve a purpose that I am missing?

I need help and or tactics remembering a soliloquy of Romeo and Juliet from Act 2 Scene 2, ive posted the link below if what i had said before was not enough information. Please help me i am not very good at remembering stuff and this is 20 lines that i have to remember word for word so its a bit of a task. Any help is appreciated.

According to summaries of RJ, Capulet moves the wedding from Thursday to Wednesday

but according to the dialogue below, lady capulet says "No, not till Thursday. There is time enough." After, Capulet says "Go, Nurse. Go with her. We’ll to church tomorrow. "

so why does lady capulet say "not till thursday"?

here's the text excerpt: https://www.sparknotes.com/nofear/shakespeare/romeojuliet/page_220/ pasted below

JULIET

Where I have learned me to repent the sin Of disobedient opposition To you and your behests, and am enjoined By holy Lawrence to fall prostrate here To beg your pardon. (falls to her knees) Pardon, I beseech you! Henceforward I am ever ruled by you.

CAPULET

Send for the county. Go tell him of this.I’ll have this knot knit up tomorrow morning.

JULIET

I met the youthful lord at Lawrence' cell, And gave him what becomed love I might, Not stepping o'er the bounds of modesty.

CAPULET

Why, I am glad on ’t. This is well. Stand up .

JULIET stands up

This is as ’t should be.—Let me see the county.

Ay, marry, go, I say, and fetch him hither.—

Now, afore God, this reverend holy friar!

Our whole city is much bound to him.

JULIET

Nurse, will you go with me into my closet To help me sort such needful ornaments As you think fit to furnish me tomorrow?

LADY CAPULET

No, not till Thursday. There is time enough.

CAPULET

Go, Nurse. Go with her. We’ll to church tomorrow.

Exeunt JULIET and NURSE

I’ve been reading Romeo and Juliet and have come to the conclusion that Friar Lawrence was acting under duress in the play.

These quotes cover the “a threat has been made that will be carried out unless an offence is committed” component:
“Unless thou tell me how I may prevent it.If in thy wisdom thou canst give no help, Do thou but call my resolution wise, And with this knife I’ll help it presently” (4.1 51-55)

“Give me some present counsel, or, behold, ‘Twixt my extremes and me this bloody knife.” (4.1 63-64)

What about the others? I’ve seen different definitions of the components, but I want to know if what he does undoubtably fills them.
Input would be appreciated.

SCENE I. Court of London.

Enter Romeo, Cordelia, and Juliet.

ROMEO

Tell me, is it worth while to talk,

Where all the ladies prefer their ambition

And all the stage is furnished with patrons?

Here to pitch my hopes; no, not for the sight,

For the air's sweetest food to poison:

But would I live long, to a lottery!

These seem the days for dalliance.

JULIET

Ay, ay, the days of no temptation!

Romance is an abominable store;

It shall be trifled with in vain,

And not to keep alive the gleam of life.

He would scarce see the world with any endearment;

He must depart, and leave his ruinied soul

To wander all the suffering day in Hell.

So set, and yet with careless hands build,

Disloyal hearts to him who's to guide them;

It is for all the world to change;

Not with a guard of curbed knights, but light on foot,

With a pair of men.

Poor fools we make of ourselves;

So change and go and call them when you do!

He's all well: we'll give him a handshake and our spurs;

But when our bones do heal, we'll see his humble way;

Not a rude stride to the earth or speech to man.

Can't Elope (cantaloupe)

These violent delights have violent ends
And in their triumph die, like fire and powder
Which, as they kiss, consume. The sweetest honey
is loathsome in his own deliciousness
and in the taste confounds the appetite.
Therefore love moderately. Long love doth so.
Too swift arrives as tardy as too slow.
