Both pairs of lovers had a secret way of communication. The lovers had to communicate in secret because their families opposed and loathed one another. In Romeo and Juliet, Juliet would sent a message to Romeo through the nurse. The nurse was the main source of communication in Romeo and Juliet. In Pyramus and Thisbe a chink in the wall was the source of communication. As similar to Romeo and Juliet, Pyramus and Thisbe's parents had a grudge of hate which forced the relationship and talking to stay hidden. Everyday, Pyramus and Thisbe would go the spot in the wall and talk. Likewise in Romeo and Juliet, the nurse would send messages back and fourth each day. In Romeo and Juliet, Juliet sees Romeo at the party wants to know who he is and what his name is. In act 1 Juliet tells the Nurse, "Go ask his name.- If he be married. My grave is like to be my wedding bed." This evidence shows how the nurse was the key source of information, because she went back and fourth between lovers telling what one another had to say. In Pyramus and Thisbe, the chink in the wall provided a way of communication. As Ovid writes, "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. Thisbe on one side, Pyramus on the other." The shared symbol in both stories (chink in the wall & the nurse) help emphasize the similarities between both stories.

The cloak and potion play an important role in both stories that emphasize a shared symbol. In "Pyramus and Thisbe", Pyramus believes that Thisbe was eaten by the lioness when he finds her cloak. Ovid describes his assumption as "inevitable" after he found the "the bloodstained shreds of the cloak". The cloak from "Pyramus and Thisbe" is what causes Pyramus to believe that Thisbe was eaten by the Lioness. This idea is supported when Ovid writes, "She was still far enough away for Thisbe to escape, but as she fled she dropped her cloak...That is what Pyramus saw when he appeared a few minutes later." paragraph 5.

Like wise, in Romeo and Juliet, Friar Lawrence gives Juliet a potion which causes Juliet to go into a deep sleep, making it look like she is dead. When Balthasar sees the funeral for Juliet, he assumes that she is dead. (as would anyone else) Returning to Romeo with the news, Romeo projects the idea of hurting himself or making "misadventures" which concerns Balthasar. This theory is supported when Shakespeare writes, "Her body sleeps in Capels' monument...Your looks are pale and wild, and do import some misadventure." Act 5 scene 1 lines 17-29.

This gif represents impulse. Each of the two stories has one character that acts upon impulse which leads to bad reactions.]]> 2018-12-04 19:47:21 UTC https://padlet.com/grace_glaser/j8o1e8oqbobp/wish/311109348 ( The mulberry tree and the feud) sara_garcia17 https://padlet.com/grace_glaser/j8o1e8oqbobp/wish/311556432 The Mulberry tree is a big part in the story Pyramus and Thisbe, because the mulberry tree was white as snow but at the end of the story the tree turned red as the blood of Pyramus and Thisbe. According to Pyramus and Thisbe, "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 and Juliet at the end of act 5 scene 13 it says, " Capulet: Oh! brother Montague give me your hand. this is my daughter's dowry. I can ask you for nothing more." This proves that because the mulberry tree changed the feud also changed. ]]> 2018-12-05 19:27:23 UTC https://padlet.com/grace_glaser/j8o1e8oqbobp/wish/311556432
