Romeo And Juliet Love Is Destructive

Since Pyramus and Thisbe were not love at first sight and had loved each other for a long time, maybe

In the mythology story “Pyramus and Thisbe,” by Edith Hamilton, Pyramus and Thisbe live next door to each other. They are in love, but their parents do not approve. They make a plan to meet under a mulberry tree. While Thisbe is waiting, she sees a lioness with blood on her mouth from a kill. As Thisbe runs away, she drops her cloak. The lioness tears the cloak, so when Pyramus comes, he sees the bloody cloak and thinks that Thisbe is killed by the lioness. Pyramus kills himself with his sword because he could not protect Thisbe. Thisbe returns to find Pyramus dying and uses his sword to kill herself. Their blood turns the white mulberries a deep red for their everlasting love.

Hatred, resentment, and love are all a form of disaster. When the are mixed together it creates the greatest natural disaster of all time. Romeo is a romantic and heavy hearted. He is exiled because he killed Tybalt. Eventually he decides to go see Juliet, even though he could be killed. Juliet is love struck and a little naive. She wants to marry Romeo, even though he is a Montague and their families hate each other. At the end of Act III, eventually she decides to marry him or end her life because she can not live without him. In the great love story, Romeo and Juliet, the two lovers were doomed from the beginning. The hatred that their parents have for eachother, end up killing both of their children.

Pyramus and Thisbe and Romeo and Juliet are two tragic romance stories that are comparable in many ways. The similar concepts and elements reflected in the two works portray themes of love and tragedy, while also expressing the same types of characters and events. The works of the two writers, Ovid and Shakespeare, were written in completely different time periods, but are remarkably comparable in the senses of character purpose, elements, theme, and events.

Romeo and Juliet explores the tragic outcome of ‘true love’. In Romeo and Juliet, the two main characters (Romeo and Juliet) die because of their love for each other. What happens in Romeo and Juliet is that Juliet is meant to marry Paris but she doesn’t want to so she drinks a poison that is meant to show all of the signs of death for a certain amount of time and then she would

In Romeo and Juliet, adversity plays a large role in keeping the two star-crossed lovers apart, and after a short taboo romance, it is evident that their story ends in tragedy. The feud between their two families, both fate and destiny, encouragement from non-family members, and the deaths of the young couple, ultimately make this love story a tragedy.

The play of Pyramus and Thisbe is about two lovers whose families do not approve their love. “Be it so she; will not here before your grace consent to marry with Demetrius, I beg the ancient privilege of Athens, As she is mine, I may dispose of her.” Egeus, Hermia’s father, wants Hermia to marry Demetrius instead of Hermia’s lover, Lysander. Automatically we see a resemblance. “Wilt thou at Ninny's tomb meet me straightway?” Pyramus and Thisbe decide to run off to Ninnus’ tomb to be together in secret, just like Hermia and Lysander run off to the wood beyond Athens. “Steal forth thy father's house to-morrow night; and in the wood, a league without the town, where I did meet thee once with Helena to do observance to a morn of May. There will I stay for thee.”

Ovid’s Pyramus & Thisbe, and William Shakespeare’s Romeo & Juliet are both stories about ill-fated love. With each story we can see that there is a tragic couple, the female, Thisbe represents Juliet, while the male, Pyramus represents Romeo, vise versa for each. In Pyramus & Thisbe, the two lovers communicate through the small chink in the wall. In Romeo & Juliet, the two lovers communicate through the Nurse by sending messages back and forth. In Romeo & Juliet, the meeting place is Friar Lawrence’s Cell, this represents the Tomb of Ninus in Pyramus & Thisbe, which is where they met up. Lastly, the deceiver in both stories is the main reason the tragedies happened.

“These violent delights have violent ends”. The tragedy of Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare was a love story. This story was about two people who fell in love at a young age. They fell in love but to find out that their families hate each other. Ultimately Romeo and Juliet are both to blame for their death.

The plots of Pyramus and Thisbe and The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet are very similar to one another. For example, it says directly in Pyramus and Thisbe: “But marriage was forbidden by their parents. Yet there’s one thing that parents can’t prevent: The flame of love that burned within them” (Ovid’s Pyramus and Thisbe 11-13). This directly correlates with the plot of The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet, with Shakespeare writing “The exchange of thy love’s faithful vow for mine. I gave thee mine before thou didst request it” (Shakespeare II.ii. 127-128). This shows that both couples in each story are in love, which shows a parallel in plot structure. Furthermore, Pyramus and Thisbe also has another plot similarity with The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet: the death of each couple in the

In “Pyramus and Thisbe”, the two arrange to meet each other in the woods by the mulberry tree on Ninus Tomb. While waiting for Pyramus to get there, Thisbe sees a lion and runs away in fear of being attacked. She accidentally drops her cloak and the lion rips it into shreds, bloodying it in the process. Once Pyramus gets there, all he sees is the tattered garment and thinks a wild animal has killed his lover. This leads to Pyramus killing himself because he feels guilty that he wasn’t there to protect Thisbe.

Last but not least, in both texts of Romeo and Juliet and Pyramus and Thisbe, they are very similar as they both end with terrible, terrible tragedies. Both these readings are known for being tragedies, which make them both so memorable. In Romeo and Juliet, Act V Scene III lines 307-310 the Prince says these concluding words, “Go hence, to have more talk of these sad things; some shall be pardoned, and some punished; for never was there a story of more woe, than this od Juliet and her Romeo.” That itself sums up that it is one of the greatest tragedies known to man. The same ending through misunderstandings leads to Pyramus and

The lovers in the story have such great lover for another, that they come far for taking risksto be with each other. There is also asimilar attributeto the male protagonist. Both Romeo and Pyramus are both reckless, which leads to their doom as their female protagonists Juliet and Thisbe remain loyal no matter the conflict they had to go through. For the conflict of their story, the characters from both stories had been forbidden to be with each other, whichis what they must overcome, by going through obstacles, even if they weren’t able to strive away from their doom. Which leads to both lovers believing they could be together in the afterlife.

n Ovid's Metamorphoses, Pyramus and Thisbe is a story is about a couple, who live in Babylon, the city of Queen Semiramis. They lived in houses so close together that one wall was common to both. Pyramus and Thisbe grew up side by side and they learned to love each other very much. Pyramus and Thisbe wanted to marry each other, but their parents forbade them. Their families hated each other and forbade Pyramus and Thisbe to marry. The star-crossed lovers discovered a little crack in the wall that separates their houses and through it they were able to whisper back and forth. They talked and whispered, but they couldn’t touch or feel each other

In this myth, Pyramus and Thisbe are madly in love. The two grew up together and longed to get married, but their parents disapproved. The two lived side by side and found a tiny crack in the wall in which their houses shared. Pyramus and Thisbe would use this crack to utter lovely words to one another and send kisses through the wall. Finally, the two decided to elope in the middle of the night so they could be together. When this night came, Thisbe arrived at the Tomb of Ninus first and spotted a lioness with bloody jaws in the distance. The sight frightened Thisbe and she ran, dropping her cloak. When Pyramus arrived at the tomb, he saw the lioness’ tracks and Thisbe’s bloodstained cloak. Pyramus believed that
