In both of the literacies; there are two young lovers. In both of the literacies neither of the families would allow them to be together because of the feud in R&J ,but in P&T their parents and the wall kept them from being together.
In "Pyramus and Thisbe" Pyramus saw Thisbe's cloak torn to shreds by a beast(Lioness). Their were bloodstains on the cloak, so he had a reason to think Thisbe was dead, but she wasn't.Pyramus stabbed hisself , because he thought that Thisbe was dead(she was still alive). In "Romeo and Juliet" Juliet took a sleeping potion. Romeo didn't know about, so everyone thought that she was dead.(like everyone else did) Romeo wanted to lay next to her as he died. As he was laying next he drank the poison right before she woke up.
Pyramus committed suicide out of grief for his love as states in paragraph 5,"He never doubted that he knew all. Thisbe was dead. He had let his love, a tender maiden, come alone to a place full of danger, and not been there first to protect her. “It is I who killed you,” he said. He lifted up from the trampled dust what was left of the cloak and kissing it again and again carried it to the mulberry tree. “Now,” he said, “you shall drink my blood too.”He drew his sword and plunged it into his side. The blood spurted up over the berries and dyed them a dark red." In " Romeo & Juliet" Romeo killed hisself using poison. In "Romeo & Juliet" Romeo says, "A dateless bargain to engrossing death.
(kisses JULIET. takes out the poison)
Come, bitter conduct, come, unsavoury guide.
Thou desperate pilot, now at once run on
The dashing rocks thy seasick, weary bark.
Here's to my love! (drinks the poison) 0 true apothecary, Thy drugs are quick. Thus with a kiss I die" (5.3 115-120)

The only way the two couples communicate in "Pyramus and Thisbe" is they have to talk through a crack in a wall and it is the only way that they can talk because their parents forbid their love. It states in the text in paragraph 3 "In the wall both houses shared there was a little chink. No one before had noticed it, but there is nothing a lover does not notice. Our two young people discovered it and through it they were able to whisper sweetly back and forth". in "Romeo and Juliet" Juliet sits in a balcony while Romeo is on the ground below and Romeo had to sneak their because the families do not allow Montague in their family because Juliet is capulet. This is the way they communicate. In act 2 scene 2 it says "Juliet appears in a window above" and they talk back and forth from the window. These both are alike because it is showing a way they both talked to each other or their only communication.

The Sleeping potion and the cloak

In Romeo and Juliet, Juliet appears to be dead to Romeo because of the potion that friar Lawrence gave to her. Everyone thinks that she is dead, and as a consequence, her lover, Romeo, commits suicide because of it. William Shakespeare shows this in Act 5, scene 3, where he writes "
"Ah, dear Juliet, why are you still so beautiful? Should I believe that death is in love with you, and that the awful monster keeps you here to be his mistress? I don't like that idea, so I'll stay with you. And I will never leave this tomb. Here, here I'll remain with worms that are your chamber-maids."

Similarly, in Pyramus and Thisbe, Pyramus finds Thisbe's bloody cloak, which Pyramus finds and thinks that his lover has died, when in reality, a lion who had just feasted bit onto her cloak, making it appear that Thisbe has died. As a consequence of the misunderstanding, Pyramus ends up committing suicide. His grief is shown in paragraph five, where Edith Hamilton writes, "Thisbe was dead. He had let his love, a tender maiden, come alone to a place full of danger, and not been there first to protect her. “It is I who killed you,” he said. He lifted up from the trampled dust what was left of the cloak and kissing it again and again carried it to the mulberry tree. “Now,” he said, “you shall drink my blood too.”He drew his sword and plunged it into his side. The blood spurted up over the berries and dyed them a dark red."

The Lioness=Friar Lawerence

In Pyramus and Thisbe the lioness shreds Thisbe's cloak and has blood on her jaw. This makes Pyramus think that Thisbe is dead even though she is alive and that leads to him then killing himself thinking she is dead. In Romeo and Juliet Friar Lawerence gives Juliet a potion to make her look dead which once Romeo sees her he thinks she is dead even though she is just sleeping.

In Pyramus and Thisbe it says, "The lioness came upon it on her way back to her lair and she mouthed it and tore it before disappearing into the woods." which is the lioness doing something that will make Pyramus think Thisbe Is dead. It also says," Before him lay the bloodstained shreds of the cloak and clear in the dust were the tracks of the lioness. The conclusion was inevitable. He never doubted that he knew all. Thisbe was dead." (Paragraph 5) this was Pyramus making the conclusion that Thisbe was dead because of the lioness. In Romeo and Juliet Friar Lawrence says, "Take thou this vial, being then in bed,

And this distillèd liquor drink thou off,

When presently through all thy veins shall run

A cold and drowsy humor, for no pulse

Shall keep his native progress, but surcease.

No warmth, no breath shall testify thou livest"(4.1.96-111) he says this when he is giving Juliet the thing that will make Romeo think she is dead. Another quote is when Romeo says, "A grave? Oh, no. A lantern, slaughtered youth,

For here lies Juliet, and her beauty makes

This vault a feasting presence full of light.

Death, lie thou there, by a dead man." (4.3.92-95) this is Romeo assuming she is dead due to the potion given to her by Friar which will make Romeo kill himself.
