Both Romeo and Juliet and "Pyramus and Thisbe" have very many similarities. One of them would be that in "Pyramus and Thisbe" after the deaths of the two main characters, Ovid writes, "The gods were pitiful at the end" (949).
In Romeo and Juliet, the chorus addresses the audience stating that, "Doth with their death bury their parents' strife" (Prologue. 8.). This states that the feud is resolved because of the children's death.
In both stories it states that after the lovers' death any rage between their parents was dissolved because of their love.

The wall between the two lovers represents the feud between the Montagues and the Capulets. Both separate the lovers whether physically (the wall) or as a state of mind (the feud).
Romeo And Juliet
(1.5.17).
Juliet states "My Only love sprung from my only hate"
(1.5.137).
Pyramus and Thisbe
Ovid writes, "... in houses so close together that one wall was common to both"
(947).
He then writes, "They longed to marry, but their parents forbade"
(947).
These are a few examples of some of the many obstacles that faced the lovers. The quotes represented, show the similarities between the wall and the obstacles 'Romeo and Juliet' face.

The cloak in 'Pyramus and Thisbe ties' to the letter in Romeo and Juliet that never arrived to Mantua. The delay and lack of communication led to the death of the two lovers. If Romeo received the letter and Pyramus would have looked around for Thisbe instead of immediately killing himself, then they would still be alive and well.
Ovid writes, "'It is I who killed you.' he said. he lifted it 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.' " - Ovid (948)
Shakespeare states, " Man: O, pardon me for bringing these ill news/ Since you did leave it for my office, sir.
Romeo: Is it e'en? Then I defy you, stars! / Thou knows my lodging. Get me ink and paper/ And hire post horses. I will hence tonight. /
Man I do beseech you, sir, have patience./ Your looks are pale and wild and do import/ Some misadventure.
Romeo: Tush, thou art deceived./ Leave me and do the thing I bid thee do./ Hast thou no letters to me from the friar?
Man: No, my good lord.
Romeo: No matter. Get thee gone./ And hire those horses. I'll be with thee straight./ Well, Juliet, I will lie with thee tonight. "  Shakespeare (5.2. 22-34).

The lioness in Pyramus and Thisbe was an element of which altered the story, but the lack of communication and surplus of assuming led to the ulitmate demise of Pyramus and Thisbe. 'As the series of unfortunate events encouraged the death of Romeo and Juliet, it did not define their choices which are primarily responsible for their deaths. The lioness is a symbol for chance or the ' series of unfortunates
In Romeo in Juliet, Romeo acts quickly and irrationally after learning of Juliet's death, a prime example of his poor desision making in the face of strife.
" Man: Then she is well, and nothing can be ill. Her body sleeps in Capel's monument, and her immortal with angels lives. I saw her laid low in her kindrids' vault. And presently took post to tell you. O, pardon me for bringing these ill news, Since you did not leave it for my office, Sir.
" Romeo: Is it e'en so? Then I defy you, stars! Thou knows my lodging,. Get me ink and paper and hire post horses. I will hence tonight. "
( 6.2.17. 18. 19. 20. 21. 22. 23. 24. 25. 26. )
This shows how quickly Romeo makes his decisions as well as the other characters in the play. As he says " I defy you stars" he has already made up his mind that he no longer wishes to live. As does Juliet later on in the story and when Thisbe found Pyramus dead she acted the same on the same irrational behavior.
Pyramus makes the same mistake as Romeo, as Thisbe fallowed suit to Juliet. Not to mention that they met alone, in the woods, as it was dark, where everyone from everything has died.
" That is what Pyramus saw when he appeared a few minutes later. Before him lay the bloodstained shared of the cloak and in the dust where the tracks of the lioness. Thisbe was dead. He has let his love, a tender maiden, come alone to a place full of danger, a not been there first to protect her first.' 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 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 berriesamd dyed them a dark red." (948) This is a prime example of a beautiful love and ill decisions leading to their demise. In conclusion, the obstacles presented to them were not their demise, their choices were.
