	Susan Sontag's "Pyramus and Thisbe"
		In this allegorical reinterpretation of Ovid's tale Thisbe represents the human soul, the soul which is pursued by the satanic forces of evil - the lion - and which is liberated by the intercession of her saviour's self-sacrifice.
		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.
		Thisbe is afraid of a third generic or historical option, which to her seems even more threatening than either the tragic or the comic: to become "normal".

(noted by several critics, among others Barber 1959: 152) However, critics have found other meanings in the play as well.
