feud between the Montagues and Capulets, and the Apothecary are to blame for the tragedy of Romeo and Juliet because of the stupidity of Romeo and Juliet, foolishness of the feud, and the Apothecary. In Romeo and Juliet, both them act stupid when they first meet because soon after they already plan to marry to prove their love.
Juliet says that if Romeo really loves her then he will marry her. Which Romeo agrees. (II.II.143-144) “If that that thy bent of love be honorable,/Thy purpose marriage, send me word tomorrow.” Juliet is telling Romeo that if he really loves her then he will marry her and give her an answer, of marriage,by the next day.

In the story, when Romeo hears the false news of Juliet’s death, Romeo asks for poison and offers gold to the Apothecary in exchange for the poison. The Apothecary accepts and gives Romeo the poison. (V.I.77-79) “Put this in any liquid thing you will/And drink it off, and if you had the strength/Of twenty men, it would dispatch you straight.” This conversation between Romeo and the Apothecary is the Apothecary selling Romeo poison that Romeo uses to kill himself later on which his death causes Juliet to kill herself. If the Apothecary did not sell Romeo the poison, maybe he would be alive long enough to receive the news of Juliet’s fake death. Or maybe he would find another way to kill himself but would be in time to see Juliet’s waking and both be
