In mythology Pyramus and Thisbe grew as children together in a single house that was split by a wall down the middle. The tale is said to be similar to Shakespeare's “Romeo and Juliet” because, over the years they start to fall in love and talk to one another through a little hole in the wall. A moral or quote that is similar to this is, “Death ends a life, not a relationship” (Lemmon). This quote stands out because, just like in Romeo and Juliet the lovers believe that one another has died and kills themselves. William Shakespeare wanted to connect to the people with love and comedy. The genres were big then as they are now, it attracted all ages with the drama, love story, and the comedy.

Pyramus and Thisbe are a couple of young humans in love. History between the two is sort of like a relationship between the two families hating each other. While living in a ancient city of Babylon, the families have been neighbors all their lives. Besides the fact that the two families completely hate each other, the whole marriage sequence is not a chance. Like the story of romeo and juliet, they both die in the end and a love life is ended by much love. Much fear of trying to love each other was history itself as both people had too much for each other. While in their lives, multiple different events occured as in lion killing events and the death itself. On the other hand, different history between the life and death situations of their families and deathful events occurred.

The story of Pyramus and Thisbe is a story told by the ancient Babylonians story of love and mythological. The story is said to be first told or referred to by Ovid in Metamorphoses, Book IV. Many of the Babylonian myth and tales relate to the Bible, such as the great flood, relating to Noah’s Arc. Much of Babalon’s fame comes from the references to the Bible and to it’s tall buildings. Babylon relies much on it’s culture, they have modernized but still stick to old ways. A quote was once said that, “A nation's culture resides in the hearts and in the soul of its people”(Brainy Quotes, Gandhi). A nation that has strayed from it’s stories and culture will not learn from them. All tales have a theme and moral, all cultures have a reason for being that way, they must be remembered.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 16px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Everybody and everything has an audience. From plays and musicals to T.V. shows and movies. Even food has an audience, as someone has to watch it and make sure it is prepared correctly. Another example, would be Pyramus and Thisbe. From the article “ <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 16px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Pyramus and Thisbe is a tragedy, but is distorted into a comedy by the use of farce” (BookRags). People enjoy comedies, especially if they have some kind of tragedy within it. From the article “ <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #444444; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 16px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">The tragic story Pyramus and Thisbe sounds very much like Romeo and Juliet” (Notari). A lot of people enjoyed the play Romeo and Juliet, so they would want to see something like it.
