Both works show a marriage denied; only Shakespeare offers background. Thus, option "A" is correct.
<h3>What is the relationship between "Pyramus and Thisbe" and Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet?</h3>
Both excerpts focus on the profound love between a man and a woman and how this is opposed by their families as the lovers cannot get married.
In the first excerpt, this is shown in "but with time, love grows" which shows the growing love between Pyramus and Thisbe, and "but the marriage was forbidden by their parents" which shows they cannot get married; similarly, in the second excerpt, the sections "A pair of star-crossed lovers" and "Two households...From ancient grudge" shown two lovers and the fight between their families that stop them from getting married or being together. In this context, both excerpts show a marriage denies.
However, in the second excerpt, there are more details about the rivalry between the two families "Two households, both alike in dignity, In fair Verona," and Shakespeare explains the background, which was a previous dispute "From ancient grudge break to new mutiny".
Thus, option "A" is correct.
