Hello Charlie, how are you today?
The answer is: Pyramus’s long speech slows the pace to prolong suspense.
In the excerpt from Ovid’s "Pyramus and Thisbe," Pyramus believes a lion or a wild animal has killed Thisbe, because she has left her veil under a mulberry tree. As a consequence, he delivers a long speech which extends the progress of tension of the scene. Eventually, he stabs himself with his sword before Thisbe comes back and finds him dead.
<span>The devil actively seeks to destroy human souls. - This religious belief is most closely related to the plot of Christopher Marlowe's The Tragic History of Doctor Faustus.
Though there were times when Faustus warred within himself about the wrongness of his decision to sell his soul to the devil, the devil always presents him with things that will entice Faustus to stick to their contract. The devil did everything to ensure that Faustus will be bound to him for eternity and when the time came to collect Faustus' soul, the devil tore Faustus' body to pieces.
