1. The phrase <em>"they had no confidant"</em> in Ovid's poem shows that <u>"the couple, </u><u>Pyramus and Thisbe</u><u>, had no one to help them." </u>
<h3>Ovid's Metamorphoses</h3>
Thus, in Pyramus and Thisbe from <em>Ovid's Metamorphoses,</em> the couple that fell in love and wanted to marry could not because of being forbidden by parents and society. Their arrangement to enjoy themselves together under the mulberry tree was short-lived as Thisbe did not realize that Pyramus was gradually dying in the fire of unquenchable love.
2. In the case of Romeo and Juliet, they had confidants and trusted their friends to assist.
<h3>Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet</h3>
The confidants understood and supported the love affair between Romeo and Juliet. For example, the priest that arranged for the couple to be wedded continued to support them throughout the tragic story.
Thus, the situation of Romeo and Juliet greatly differed from Pyramus and Thisbe's concerning "confidants" because while Pyramus and Thisbe had no one to help, Romeo and Juliet's great love thrived briefly with the support of friends, including some family members.
