The Apothecary almost doesnt sell Romeo potion in fear the news will get out, but Romeo gives him alot of money which he despratley needs!

There is Gender Discrimination, There is the expectation that Juliet should get married, because she is a girl. Woman are seen more as objects than people. Juliets father feels that Juliet has no power as she is a girl, he doesnt give her a choice in marriage.

Answer 2

Yes, discrimination is present in "Romeo and Juliet" in the form of the feud between the Capulets and Montagues, which leads to conflict and tragedy. The families' deep-seated hatred for each other is a barrier that prevents Romeo and Juliet from openly pursuing their love. The rigid social expectations and customs of Verona also contribute to discrimination and serve as obstacles for the young lovers.

Answer 3

yes, if you look hard enough :)
