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.
