Romeo and Juliet
How does Romeo convince the man to help him?
Act 5 Scene 1
Act 5 Scene 1
Romeo offers the poor man a lot of money, and when the Apothecary hesitates, Romeo reminds him that he's starving.
Art thou so bare and full of wretchedness, And fear’st to die? Famine is in thy cheeks. Need and oppression starveth in thine eyes. Contempt and beggary hangs upon thy back. The world is not thy friend nor the world’s law. The world affords no law to make thee rich. Then be not poor, but break it, and take this.Romeo and Juliet
