“Everything in your life is a reflection of a choice you have made. If you want a different result, make a different choice,” (Anonymous). This is very accurate in the case of Shakespeare's, The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet, and again in Ovid’s, “Pyramus and Thisbe.” Both of these stories are told with ideas that destiny caused the tragic outcomes. People are set to believe that no matter what they tried, the kids were destined to die. However, you can not ignore the fact that the poor outcomes were direct results of poor decisions; through poor communication and bad ideas, from both Romeo and Juliet, along with Pyramus and Thisbe.

Once this bad decision was made, Thisbe had gone too early and dropped her cloak on the ground. “Thisbe to escape, but as she fled she dropped her cloak” (Ovid 488). Her actions of dropping the cloak depicted the way Pyrumas reacted once he got to the tomb. Thinking she was dead through poor communication he took his own life, and soon after she did the same. Again as a result of actions that could have been different, to kids lie
