Pyramus and Thisbe By Ovid

This story is a precursor to Shakespeare’s “Romeo and Juliet,” and an archetypal tale of tragic young lovers killing themselves over a misunderstanding.Even in this tragic story, love is rewarded with a famous myth and a memorial in the red mulberries. This is another example of the deaths of beautiful youths being associated with plants.

Love, however, cannot be forbidden. The more that flame is covered up, the hotter it burns.

Love always find a way, it is impossible that two hearts were on fire should be kept apart. This story shows unique way of loving for they don’t see each other but they fall in love despite of family quarrels. In true life situation many couples had relationship through social media without seeing each other personally but their distance is not a hindrance of their love.

The story also emphasize that we should think before acting just like knowing what really happened. Being stupid sometimes makes our decision meaningless. So we should use our brain in every decision we make.

Love is not about being together all the time but having faith that in right time you will be together again. Long distance relationship measures how strong you are without the one you love.

The tragedy that unfolds between Pyramus and Thisbe once again suggests that it is not the job of the gods to step in and make everything happy. Although they often take active rolls in helping human characters, they also may take a more passive role as observers. Pyramus and Thisbe seem to have done no wrong to any of the gods, but find themselves as victims to cruel fate.

Baucis and Philemon By Ovid

The story is a proof of immeasurable power of the gods and also of the way they reward the humble and the pious. These couples live together for many years even though they have a simple living but they were contented of what they have. In connection, money is not the most important treasure here on earth as long as we are happy. We must be contented of what we have and share it to other people.  Those simple things we make is much appreciated by God even though he is not their but he returns it as a blessing. Giving without asking in return is the true essence of sharing.

The story also shows unconditional love because these couples are faithful to each other. Being faithful to the one you love is the sweetest feeling. Knowing that your partner is loyal and don’t want to be with other girls it’s just only you.
