Read the passage.

Answer 1

Shakespeare's references to the moon symbolize the characters’ perception of their circumstances, while Ovid uses the moon in the setting.

Answer: Option D.

Explanation:

Shakespeare's treatment of the moon in show "A Midsummer Night's Dream" varies from Ovid's utilization the moon in the legend "Pyramus and Thisbe" by symbolizing characters impression of the conditions – Pyramus right off the bat thanks the Moon for his light which symbolizes his brilliant future with Thisbe.

But then he sees her clock recolored with blood and calls upon the Furies to murder him (his view on conditions changes). Then again, Ovid utilizes the moon only for the setting, there are no implications of ghastly end.
