If the apothecary had refused to sell the poison to Romeo in Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet," the events would likely have taken a different course. Romeo's plan to take his own life by using the poison to join Juliet in death would have been thwarted. This could have potentially led to Romeo seeking an alternative method to be with Juliet, or he might have reconsidered his decision altogether. The story's tragic ending might have been averted, allowing for a different resolution to the central conflict between the Capulets and Montagues.
