This is done as part of a plan to help Juliet escape her arranged marriage to Paris and reunite with Romeo. The potion is meant to put Juliet into a deep sleep that resembles death, allowing her to be laid in the family tomb. The plan is for Romeo to then come and retrieve her, and they can live together in happiness. However, the plan goes awry and ultimately leads to the tragic deaths of both Romeo and Juliet.Rate this question:
