However, this was never functional in practice and blacks were subjected to spaces with poor resources and quality, in addition to being subjected to strong racism.

Friar Laurence, however, decides to help them by making a strange potion. Romeo's girlfriend drinks it, and it makes her appear dead. Friar John is supposed to deliver a letter to Romeo, in which it is stated that his girlfriend is alive. However, he is unable to do so, because there is a plague outbreak in Mantua, and he is quarantined. This leads to a catastrophe, as Romeo assumes that she is dead, and kills himself.
