"Pyramus and Thisbe" and The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet are similar in many ways such as how Balthasar and the Lion mislead Romeo and Pyramus as they both think that their lovers are dead.

This is seen in "Pyramus and Thisbe" when it 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 adead. 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." Pyramus is wrongly deceived to think that his precious Thisbe is dead, because his love is dead and he failed to protect her he takes life.

The same scenario is seen in The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet when Shakespeare says, (Balthasar) Then she is well, and nothing can be ill.

Her body sleeps in Capels' monument,

And her immortal part with angels lives.

I saw her laid low in her kindred’s vault

And presently took post to tell it you.

O, pardon me for bringing these ill news, (Romeo) Well, Juliet, I will lie with thee tonight.

Let’s see for means. O mischief, thou art swift

To enter in the thoughts of desperate men!

I do remember an apothecary—

And hereabouts he dwells." Balthasar runs to Romeo after he heres the news of Juliet's "death". Romeo then begins to talk about leaving Mantua, going to the Apothecary, so he can acquire a poison so latter that night he could lay in the capulet tomb and die with his love.

Balthasar in The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet and the Lion in "Pyramus and Thisbe" are both characters that crucially influence the plot. If Balthasar would have waited to tell Romeo and if the Lion didn't mess with Thisbe's cloak both boys would no have been deceived that their lovers were dead. This could have spared both boys lives, because they would not have had to make such a hasty decision; suicide.

"Pyramus and Thisbe" is very similar to The tragedy of Romeo and Juliet by comparing the archetypical theme of hasty decision making. When Ovid states,"The fierce beast had made a 🤬; her jaws were bloody and she was coming to slake her thirst in the spring. She was still far enough away for Thisbe to escape, but as she fled she dropped her cloak. The lioness came upon it on her way back to her lair and she mouthed it and tore it before disappearing into the woods. That is what Pyramus saw when he appeared a few minutes later. 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. 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. " this shows how Pyramus made a decision but of he'd waited then he would have seen that Thisbe was not dead the lioness had just made a 🤬 that was not Thisbe. This theme is also shown in The tragedy of Romeo and Juliet when Shakespeare writes,"How oft when men are at the point of deathHave they been merry, which their keepers callA lightning before death! Oh, how may I100Call this a lightning?—O my love, my wife!Death, that hath sucked the honey of thy breath,Hath had no power yet upon thy beauty.Thou art not conquered. Beauty’s ensign yetIs crimson in thy lips and in thy cheeks,105And death’s pale flag is not advancèd there.—Tybalt, liest thou there in thy bloody sheet?O, what more favor can I do to thee,Than with that hand that cut thy youth in twainTo sunder his that was thine enemy?110Forgive me, cousin.—Ah, dear Juliet,Why art thou yet so fair? Shall I believeThat unsubstantial death is amorous,And that the lean abhorrèd monster keepsThee here in dark to be his paramour?115For fear of that, I still will stay with thee,And never from this palace of dim nightDepart again. Here, here will I remainWith worms that are thy chamber maids. Oh, hereWill I set up my everlasting rest,120And shake the yoke of inauspicious starsFrom this world-wearied flesh. Eyes, look your last.Arms, take your last embrace. And, lips, O youThe doors of breath, seal with a righteous kissA dateless bargain to engrossing death.125(kisses JULIET, takes out the poison)Come, bitter conduct, come, unsavoury guide.Thou desperate pilot, now at once run onThe dashing rocks thy seasick, weary bark.Here’s to my love! (drinks the poison)O true apothecary,130Thy 🤬 are quick. Thus with a kiss I die." What Romeo does not realize is that Juliet is about to wake up and if he'd just waited to drink the poison, he would have seen Juliet wake up and he could be with her.]]> 2018-12-04 15:07:40 UTC https://padlet.com/ryan_owens/ioyp3eot80ch/wish/310927991 Lizzy Austin elizabeth_austin2 https://padlet.com/ryan_owens/ioyp3eot80ch/wish/310928153 (the Nurse and the hole in the wall)

The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet is related to the story of "Pyramus and Thisbe". One of those similarities is between the Nurse from Romeo and Juliet and the hole in the wall from "Pyramus and Thisbe". They are similar because both of them were the common form of communication in both stories.

This idea is supported by Shakespeare, when he says, "I am aweary. Give me leave awhile. Fie, how my bones ache! What a jaunt have I!". This is showing how the Nurse was just running around for Juliet.

This is seen in "Pyramus and Thisbe" when it says, "Pyramus and Thisbe communicated through this crack when it was risky to see one another." This is stating that Pyramus and Thisbe were communicating using the hole in the wall]]> 2018-12-04 15:07:53 UTC https://padlet.com/ryan_owens/ioyp3eot80ch/wish/310928153 Kayla Bernard xialine11 https://padlet.com/ryan_owens/ioyp3eot80ch/wish/310928738 "The tragedy of Romeo and Juliet" has a lot of similarities to the story "Pyramus and Thisbe". The setting of Romeo and Juliet comparable with the mulberry tree in Pyramus and Thisbe by showing how something so pure and white can become so tainted and tarnished.

This is seen in Romeo and Juliet when lady capulets says, Some people in the street are crying “Romeo.” Some are crying “Juliet,” and some are crying “Paris.” They’re all running in an open riot toward our tomb.Verona was once beautiful and friendly until the feud between the capulets and montages started and they speared blood all over the streets.

This is also see in "Pyramus and Thisbe" when Pyramus 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.
