Suicide is never the answer‚ but obviously it is for these folks! The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet was very evidently based off of Ovid’s Pyramus and Thisbe. To us‚ reading Pyramus and Thisbe was comparable to reading a slightly altered summary of The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet‚ by William Shakespeare. The similarities were uncanny.
