Read the excerpt from Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. Gregory: Say better; here comes one of my master's kinsmen. Sampson: Yes,
better, sir. Abraham: You lie. Sampson: Draw, if you be men.--Gregory, remember thy swashing blow. [They fight.] [Enter BENVOLIO.] Benvolio: Part, fools! put up your swords; you know not what you do. [Beats down their swords.] How is the setting of the excerpt similar to the setting of Ovid’s "Pyramus and Thisbe"? Both take place in servants’ quarters. Both take place in castles ruled by unjust leaders. Both take place in towns in which violence is discouraged. Both take place in time periods in which men carry weapons.
