Pyramus and Thisbe

I'm supposed to be writing a character study on Thisbe of Pyramus and Thisbe. It's such a sad story. It's where Shakespeare got the story of Romeo and Juliet...it's depressing.
So if any of you are thinking about eloping with someone who lives next to you and you guys talk through a crack in the wall, and kiss the wall, because you can't kiss each other, because your parents don't want you to get married, don't meet by the spring, because then the lion will come and you'll run away and your boyfriend will think you died because your wimple (it's a hair thingy, like a scarf) will fall off of you and the lion, who had just eaten, will tear it to pieces and then your boyfriend will find it all bloody, will weep and then stab himself, and you'll find him dead, and you'll kill yourself, so...maybe you should just become a nun.
Now it's back to Pyramus and Thisbe! Luv ya'alls!

P.S. Pyramus and Thisbe are Greek Mythology...that's where Shakespeare got the idea for Romeo and Juliet...there's only so many story plots, eh?
