What is Friar Laurence saying?
"Within the infant rind of this weak flower
Poison hath residence and medicine power;
For this, being smelt, with that part cheers each part;
Being tasted, stays all senses with the heart." (II, iii, 25-28)
AChildren are fragile and weak like flowers, especially Romeo and his fickle love.
BDepending on the use, a single drug can heal or kill; in the same way, all things can serve a good or bad purpose
CThe best poison will always resist the most powerful medicine; in the same way, evil (death) will always triumph over good (life) in the end
DThe flower has the power to make people think with their heart instead of their head; likewise, emotions are genuine and thoughts are often artificial.
