An ancient grudge is something that someone has been angry about for a long time, and new mutiny would be an active rebellion against whatever it is that this person was angry about. Anger leads eventually to action.

What does grudge mean in the 3rd line in the prologue in Romeo and Juliet?

The line "from ancient grudge break to new mutiny" means that new violence had broken out over an old quarrel. The word "grudge" means the same as it does today, something that you hold against someone. You might nowadays say, "don't bear a grudge because I beat you in the beauty contest." The grudge in this case is an ancient one, meaning that it happened a long time ago. Maybe Romeo's great-great-great grandfather stole the girlfriend of Juliet's great-great-great-grandfather. It was something like that.


What are the meanings of the quotes in romeo and juilet?

Do you mean "Two households, both alike in dignity, in fair Verona where we lay our scene, from ancient grudge break to new mutiny where civil blood makes civil hands unclean."? The key to the sentence is "Two households . . . from ancient grudge break to new mutiny." The two households are two families who have an "ancient grudge". Ancient means old, right? So they break out in a new "mutiny"--a new breach of the peace. The rest is all trimming. We learn that the two families are "alike in dignity"--they have the same social status. They are in Verona, which is where "we lay our scene", or where the scene is set. The mutiny is making hands dirty with blood, and there is a play on the word civil, which means both "of the city" and "polite".

What does mutiny mean in the 3rd line in the prologue of Romeo and Juliet?

"From ancient grudge break to new mutiny". The Prince has passed laws to keep the peace, but because of their feud, the Montagues and Capulets keep on breaking those laws and breaking that peace. Mutiny is disobeying your superiors; the Prince is their superior and has commanded them not to fight, but they disobey him and start fighting again (it is "new mutiny", a new outbreak of violence).
