Romeo and Juliet

(REFER to the ALLUSIONS) Looking at the allusions of Hero and Leander & Thisbe and Pyramus explain how it can be a foreshadowing for Romeo and Juliet. Make a comparison of Thisbe and Pyramus to Romeo and Juliet.

Thisbe and Pyramus is supposed to be a tragedy but ends up looking more like a comedy (at least in The Midsummer night’s deem). Romeo and Juliet is a straight up tragedy.
Romeo and Juliet ended in the Capulet's crypt which is kind of like Pyramus and Thisbe ending up in the tomb of Ninus.Juliet wakes up to find her lover dead and then stabs herself in the chest. Ovid's story says Pyramus found Thisbe's bloody cloak and assumed she was dead, so he killed himself.
