	Pyramus and Thisbe
		Thisbe was the first to arrive at the first Mulberry bush outside of the city, but as she was waiting, a lioness walked by with her jaws covered in blood from a previous kill that day.
		Soon after, Pyramus walked by and saw a cloak, his love gift to her, covered in blood and torn to pieces with the footprints of the lioness left behind.
		She took Pyramus' blood-stained sword and asked him to wait for her while she brought the blade into her own soft flesh.

	Pyramus and Thisbe - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The love story of Pyramus and Thisbe, not really a part of Roman mythology, is actually a sentimental romance.
		Pyramus was the handsomest youth, and Thisbe the fairest maiden, in all Babylonia, where Semiramis reigned.
		The lioness, after drinking at the spring, turned to retreat to the woods, and seeing the veil on the ground, tossed and rent it with her bloody mouth.

	Pyramus, Greek Mythology Link.
		Pyramus and Thisbe 1 lived in the city of Babylon which Queen Semiramis founded after having killed her husband King Ninus of Assyria and founder of Nineveh.
		Her jaws dripped with the blood of the cattle she had slain, and at this sight Thisbe 1 escaped to a near by cavern, but as she hastened to elude the beast, she left her cloak on the ground behind her.
		A little later Pyramus arrived, and seeing the lioness and the cloak, he assumed Thisbe 1 to be dead, and in desperation, grief, and guilt, plunged his sword into his side, drawing it straightaway from the wound.

	Susan Sontag's "Pyramus and Thisbe"
		Astonishingly, the narrative of Pyramus and Thisbe is retold in a romanesque work of art, sculpted in four sequential scenes on the four sides of a column capital in the minster of Basel.
		If Pyramus as a tragic fool in A Midsummer Night's Dream thus exhibits and palliates private fears that are engendered by the transition from a single state to a union in marriage, Susan Sontag's version of the same tale thematizes fears, anxieties and concerns that are generated by a marriage of both private and bodies.
		Pyramus does not notice this, and raises the generic question which simultaneously operates as the historical one: In Ovid the tale of Pyramus and Thisbe was a tragedy, maybe even in Shakespeare, but what genre, i.e.

	[No title]
		From the moment of Quince's announcement of the playlet in the second scene until its presentation in the final scene, "Pyramus and Thisby" is maintained in the consciousness of the audience.
		Remarkably, the Athenian lovers remain oblivious to their kinship with Pyramus and Thisby until the mechanicals' performance in the final scene.[13] For the audience, however, the similarities are too overwhelming to overlook, and both parallel and parody generate laughter primarily by evoking anxiety that a tragic turn may annihilate the comic world.
		Shakespeare's use of the "Pyramus and Thisby" legend parallels his use of Petrarchan conventions: serious and parodic perspectives are enigmatically fused.

		Shakespeare did not invent in Romeo and Juliet the tale of the young lovers whose union is thwarted by their opposing parents and whose lives end in double suicide based on a misunderstanding.
		The story is as old as the tale of Pyramus and Thisbe, acted as a play within a play in Midsummernights' Dream, and told 1500 years before by the poet Ovid, who got it from the Greeks, who got it from the near east.
		Now there's a tradition in Latin love poetry of the male suitor either blessing or cursing the door of his mistreses's home, depending on whether he's let in for the night.

	To what extent is the mechanicals' performance of Pyramus’s and Thisby a success?
		This is a funny line because it doesn't make sense because Pyramus has got his words mixed up; His line doesn't make sense because one can't hear a face or see a voice.
		Pyramus then uses some more mixed up language "Sweet moon, I thank thee for thy sunny beams" and "thy gracious, golden, glittering gleams." Again more alliteration used adding to the already over-exaggerated effect.
		The acting of Pyramus and Thisbe emphasises the humour of the script.
