Pyramus and Thisbe is very similar to Romeo and Juliet in that both stories share star crossed lovers whos parents do not like each other. They both decide that they would disregard there parents and be together. They both end up with the two lovers killing themselves. The message of the myth is saying that love can not be contained and not even death can separate those truly in love.

Pyramus and Thisbe connects to romeo and Juliet in the theme that the two lovers kill themselves because not thinks that the other is dead so they kill them self then the other finds the dead body and then the other one kills them self and the fact that their love for each other is forbidden

The concept of two star crossed lovers with a conflict keeping them apart is the same, and how the two venture out to meet each other. In the end how the lovers murder themselves because of a misunderstanding is probably the most noticed similarity though.

Pyramus and Thisbe connect to Romea and Juliet by that fact that they're love was forbidden by there family. Also, the fact that when they get to be together this a misunderstanding and that misunderstanding causes there own death. The message of the myth is to to not such drastic measure's even if you are in love cause its a mistake.

Pyramus and Thisbe connects with Romeo and Juliet because they all kill each-other because Pyramus killed himself. He had though that Thisbe had killed herself so Pyramus killed himself, and before she could get help, he had died in her arms. Romeo and Juliet connect with Pyramus and Thisbe because, Juliet kills herself, and Romeo found that really hard to handle, and he wanted to live the rest of his life with her, so Romeo killed himself to live with Juliet. The message of the myth is that other people can connect to this myth.

Pyramus and Thisbe connects with Romeo and Juliet because they both love each other with a deep love that they will go against their parents will to see each other. They both also end up killing themselves for each other because they want to be with each other in the after life. Although, one ran away because of a fear of a beast or something and came back to their dead love, so they kill themselves as will. The message is once you find a lover you will do crazy things for him or her.

Pyramusm and Thisbe connects with Romeo and Juliet because they are both two people that are in love, but forbidden to see each other. It also connects with Romeo and Juliet because they both end up committing suicide because their lover dies. I notice about the message of the myth that in both stories love can't be stopped even through death.
Other thoughts are these stories are identical but different scenarios.

Pyramus and Thisbe is very similar to Romeo and Juliete. Both of the stories have a romance. They, also, both have a misconception. The female, in both situations, is thought to be dead by the male, but she is not really dead.

The theme of the two stories is interconnected because they both demonstrate what can happen when two star crossed lovers are kept apart. they both also shows the power of human will and how people go to extreme lengths for the ones they care about.

Pyramus and Thisbe has a burning love that they are not allowed to have, so when they are split and try to get back together, not even the barrier off death can hold then back.

The story line for both stories are about the same. Two people fall deeply in love, yet their parents forbid them from seeing each other so they saw each other in secret. However, one thinks the other is dead causing that person to kill them self and when the other finds their love dead they kill them self as well. I believe that the message of the myth is to not make assumptions and to communicate with each other because what you see may not be what you think.

Pyramus and Thisbe connect with Romeo and Juliet because in both stories two people who are separated, as well as one lover mistakes the other for dead and ends up killing themselves. Yet both stories give the same message when two people are in love anything can happen.

Pyramus and Thisbe are similar to Romeo and Juliet because both love each other but neither can be together. In the end they both try to be together. In both stories one is appeared to be dead so the other kills themself. After they are dead the other one wakes up or comes back and then ends up killing themself.

Pyramus and Thisbe connect to Romeo and Juliet because they are both about two people in love who are not supposed to be in love but are anyway. Both set of characters decide to meet and when the girl is supposed to be dead the man decides that he cannot live without her in his life and decide to kill himself, then we realize that the girl is not dead and she kills herself because she cannot live without him. I noticed that the message of the myth was that love conquers all.

These stories are really similar because both of the main characters are madly in love and their families do not let them get married. When they try to run off and leave the town to live together, the male thinks the woman is dead so he kills himself and then the woman sees he is dead so she kills herself.
