so did salieri poison mozart?


why was he sick? i must of missed that part

reply

As far as the movie goes, I think Salieri had planned to kill Mozart but wasn't even sure how to do it yet. So basically he fails to even kill Mozart which he sees as God thwarting him yet again. I seem to remember the movie implying that Mozart was overworked and stressed out from the whole Constanze left me, my father was disappointed in me, I'm putting my feelings into this mass which I'm working on in my spare time kind of thing all the while getting poorer and more unappreciated. In his depressed no sleep high stress state, it would have been easy to contract any sickness and be unable to fight it off. But no, I don't think they say he's sick or he's stressed or what was the reason.

No, Salieri never tried to kill him in an obvious way.
He merely assisted the deterioration of Mozarts health by putting him to work when at his weakest.

He was excessively drinking and exhausting himself beyond sanity. It's not hard to fall ill after all that, especially in that time.
