how is the apothecary not in this? i get it that it's listed that he's not, but he's a major character. exclude the kinsfolk and musicians, fine, but the apothecary has got to be in here.
Okay, fair enough, but then Peter should be in there. In his banter with the musicians, he has just as many lines as Balthasar, Abram, etc. (sorry it took me three years to take this quiz again, lol)
His only purpose is so that we know Romeo has some poison. Hardly integral.
Romeo could have mentioned in passing that he had some and that part of the scene could have been cut entirely.
