From what I’ve gathered it might be better named a version of Romeo an Juliet as the focus is on their relationship.
Its was a relationship, but it definitely wasn’t Romeo and Juliet.
The guy had - issues. The woman had - issues. And that mess certainly did affect what happened in the larger world. If one wants to get into his other woman troubles, women had a crucial role in getting him his jobs in the first place (check out Désirée Clary).
