   Why is poison a symbol of human intervention in Romeo & Juliet?

   • In Act Two, Friar Lawrence notes that poison is not an inherently fatal substance, but that it was instead made dangerous by human hands. When poison reappears at the end of the play, it becomes a symbol of this human intervention: Juliet's poison did not actually kill her, but Romeo misinterpreted what he saw and killed himself because of it.
