Abstract
When studying romeo and juliet, most critics focus on four main points: romeo's and juliet's death scene, the relationship between the lovers, a feminist look at juliet's character, and the structure of the play as a whole. However, the death scene is the most criticized aspect of the play, which says that most critics believe it's the most significant and has the most bearing on the play as a whole. Then the structure of the play is criticized by others, because as David Lucking notes, " . . . the catastrophe of the play is precipitated by the elementary fact that the two protagonists are, to put it crudely, poorly coordinated from the strictly chronological point of view" ("Uncomfortable time"115).
