There's no missing the love in this myth. After all, it's the desperate love between Pyramus and Thisbe that causes all the problems to begin with. Actually, scratch that—it's the fact that their families won't let them get together. If Pyramus and Thisbe had been allowed to get married, they wouldn't have had to concoct their plan to secretly meet under the mulberry tree to elope. Translation: no one would have died. Right?
