Answer:
Ovid creates a tense situation as Thisbe does not realize that <em><u>Pyramus is dying</u></em>.
Explanation:
Ovid's "Pyramus and Thisbe" is a Babylonian love story that revolves around the two lovers, Pyramus and Thisbe. But the story turned tragic after Pyramus discovered a bloodied cloak that belonged to Thisbe and so killed himself.
In the given lines from the story, we can see Thisbe returning to meet Pyramus and tell him about the close escape she had with the lioness. Ovid creates a tense situation in this scene because we already know what Pyramus had done which Thisbe is not privy to.
So, Ovid creates a tense situation as Thisbe does not realize that her love Pyramus is dying.
