Baylee Friedman · Answer 1

Romeo is convincing the apothecary to sell him poison.

Explanation:

Romeo believed that his love Juliet has died when in actuality she just took a sleeping potion to appear that way so when he finds her they can run away together. So he figures that if he kills himself, he can be with his love.
