Quote by William Shakespeare

ROMEOThere is thy gold, worse poison to men's souls,Doing more murders in this loathsome world,Than these poor compounds that thou mayst not sell.I sell thee poison; thou hast sold me none.Farewell: buy food, and get thyself in flesh.Come, cordial and not poison, go with meTo Juliet's grave; for there must I use thee.

Summary

In this quote from Shakespeare's play Romeo and Juliet, Romeo rejects the monetary value of gold, symbolizing the corrupting nature of wealth and material possessions. He argues that the influence and harm caused by accumulating wealth and greed are far greater than the negative consequences of the poisons he sells. Romeo urges the Apothecary to use his earnings to fulfill his basic needs and procure sustenance, while he himself chooses to use poison as a kind of remedy to join his deceased lover Juliet. Thus, Romeo associates the deathly poison as a form of solace rather than something sinful or evil.
