How is the story of pyramus and thisbe like that of romeo and juliet??

History
1 answer:
Reptile [31]3 years ago

<span>There are actually quite a few similarities between the two. Both couples were separated by family politics, but were able to get around them somehow (the crack in the wall for Pyramus and Thisbe; the masquerade and subsequent balcony scene for Romeo and Juliet) . They both agreed to marry in spite of their parents' disapproval, and both female leads attempted to contrive some way to be together with their lover in spite of their circumstances (Thisbe was scared away by a lioness with jaws dripping blood, and she left her shawl behind which the lioness chewed up; Juliet put herself into a death-like sleep in the hopes that she would escape her own impeding arranged marriage). However, everything went awry when the male leads thought that their beloved had been lost to them forever (Pyramus saw the shawl, and stabbed himself with this sword; Romeo saw Juliet in her deathlike sleep, and drank poison). The suicide of the male leads was soon after imitated by their female counterparts (Thisbe stabbed herself with Pyramus' sword; Juliet stabbed herself with Romeo's dagger). </span>

<span>In plot and, to a certain extent, theme, there really isn't much difference between the story of Pyramus and Thisbe and Romeo and Juliet - it is even possible to assume that Shakespeare derived inspiration for Romeo and Juliet from the story of Pyramus and Thisbe (Pyramus and Thisbe is a story of Roman origins). Shakespeare only added more characters to the story, emphasized the family rivalries, and set his story in Verona.</span>

In what ways were the policies of Richard Nixon different from those of his Democratic predecessors John Kennedy and Lyndon John
Dmitry [639]

Answer:

The policies of President Richard Nixon were different from his predecessor such as Kennedy and Johnson because Nixon focused on Foreign policies.

Carter's foreign policies were different from Nixon.

Explanation:

President Richard Nixon was the 37th President of the United States. He succeeded Lyndon B. Johnson, the 36th President.

The policies of Nixon were very much different from those of his successors such as President Kennedy and Johnson as Nixon tried to focus more on Foreign Policies than Domestic ones. In his Presidency, US was able to come to the place of peace with USSR, China, etc. He was a member of Republican Party. He was the only President in US's history to have resign from the office for being involved in Watergate scandal.

The policies of Jimmy Carter were different from those of Nixon's policies. Jimmy Carter was the 39th President of the States. Carter began his office with promising policies which he was unable to fulfil. But he still managed to work on certain of his policies. His foreign policy was different from Nixon's foreign policy as he denied to agree with the wrong.

What does the author consider a great accomplishment of rome?
Aleksandr-060686 [28]
This depends on who you consider to be the author. If the author in your case would be a famous old historian, then they would probably marvel at the architectural accomplishments of ancient Rome and how they were able to create such magnificent structures in such a short amount of time.
