Read the excerpts from Ovid's "Pyramus and Thisbe" and Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet."

"Pyramus and Thisbe"
"Now this same night will see two lovers lose their lives: she was the one more worthy of long life: it's I who bear the guilt for this. O my poor girl, it's I who led you to your death; I said you were to reach this fearful place by night; I let you be the first who would arrive. O all you lions with your lairs beneath this cliff, come now, and with your fierce jaws feast upon my wretched guts! But cowards talk as I do—longing for their death but not prepared to act." At that, he gathered up the bloody tatters of his Thisbe's shawl and set them underneath the shady tree.

Final answer:

In both excerpts from Ovid's 'Pyramus and Thisbe' and Shakespeare's 'Romeo and Juliet,' Pyramus and Romeo express their love and sorrow for Thisbe and Juliet as they face tragic deaths. Pyramus blames himself for Thisbe's death, while Romeo's death prompts Juliet to take her own life in grief.
