The wall in "Pyramus and Thisbe" is the parents grudge in "Romeo and Juliet". The reason Romeo and Juliet can't be together, because of the old grudge their parents have with each other. It would be a terrible outcome if the parents had found out they were together. Pyramus and Thisbe are kept from seeing each other by the wall, they can talk through it, but not actually be together. The only thing that each of these characters wanted was to be together, but there was something always holding them back.

In "Pyramus and Thisbe," Ovid writes, "Love, however, cannot be forbidden. The more that flame is covered up the hotter it burns. Also, love can always find a way" (947).

The cloak in "Pyramus and Thisbe" is like the letter that never got to Romeo. If Romeo had received the letter, he would have known that Juliet was not actually dead and that their love had not killed her. If Pyramus had not seen the cloak, he would not have assumed that Thisbe was killed by a lioness. Pyramus would not have decided to kill himself because he believed it was his fault Thisbe had died. Ovid writes, "The conclusion was inevitable. He never doubted that he knew all. Thisbe was dead." (948). In "Romeo and Juliet", written by Shakespeare, Romeo says: "I defy you, stars!" (5,1,24) What Romeo means by this is that he will not stay alive any longer even though the stars have permitted him to live.

The Lioness in "Pyramus and Thisbe" is Balthasar in "Romeo and Juliet".
Balthasar and the lioness both made the men of the stories think the women were dead. Balthasar tells Romeo, Juliet has died. He has seen the body. Romeo believes this and ventured back to Verona to see his "dead" wife.
The lioness had just made a kill when Thisbe came across it. As Thisbe fled, she dropped her cloak, which the lioness discovers it going back to her lair, and rips it before disappearing into the woods. Before Pyramus is Thisbe's blood-stained cloak, which makes her look dead.

In "Romeo and Juliet," Shakespeare writes, "Then she is well, and nothing can be ill. Her body sleeps in Capels' monument. And her immortal part with the angels lives. I saw her laid low in her kindred's vault and presently took post to tell it you." (Act V Scene I Line 21).

The chink in "Pyramus and Thisbe" is the nurse in Romeo and Juliet. The chink and the Nurse are the only way that the couples can communicate with each other. If the chink had not been in the wall, Pyramus and Thisbe would never have known about each other, or had the chance to fall in love. If the nurse had not carried messages from Juliet to Romeo and vice versa, then they never would have had a chance to learn more about each other. Ovid writes, "In the wall both houses shared there was a little chink. No one before had noticed it, but there is noting a lover does not notice. Our two young people discovered it and through it they were able to whisper sweetly back and forth." (948)- Pyramus and Thisbe. The lovers could fall in love because they could communicate. If the lovers could not communicate then they would never have fallen in love. In Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet", the Nurse says: "Let me come in, and you shall know my errand. I come from Lady Juliet.". (3,3,79-80). The Nurse acts as a way for Romeo and Juliet to communicate even when they can not see each other.
