Reader-response criticism is
concerned with how the work is viewed
by the audience. In this approach,
the reader creates meaning, not the
author or the work. Once the work is
published, the author is no longer
relevant.

outcome defines them as the tragic archetype. This archetype is
still common today, from movies like Titanic (1997) and Broadway
shows like West Side Story, which is a modern remake of Romeo
and Juliet.
