Pyramus and Thisbe

Pyramus and Thisbe is written by Ovid. The myths reminds me about the Romeo and Julie by William Shakespeare.  The characters in both stories are struggled in the same external conflict. Both of their conflict is their parents would not allow the lovers to be together. If the lovers could not get their blessing from their parents for their relationship, they will suffer a lot just like Pyramus and Thisbe. For me, the most miserable thing in this world is that the couple love each other very much, truly from the bottom of their heart but death separate one of them.

           There is another reason that Pyramus and Thisbe could not be together in their life time, their fate.  It is their fate to meet death on the night they eloped. If the lioness does not appeared at that night, everything will be different. Happiness will be the one waiting for them in other city.
 
           I like the sentence in "Pyramus and Thisbe" : Only death could have separated you from me, but not even death will part us.
