What is difference between the tale of Pyramus and Thisbe and romeo and Juliet?
Not an expert on Pyramus and thisby but I have a basic knowledge of it. Pyramus and thisby don't ever actually see each other. From what I remember, they "knew" each other longer than R+J. R+J had enablers and P+T did not. Not sure of P+T had the element of familial rivalry that R+J did. Hope this helps!
Where did shakesphere get his idea for Romeo and Juliet?
Shakespeare actually got the idea from the greek myth, Pyramus and Thisbee. Basically, Pyramus and Thisbee couldn't be together because their parents forbade it. They communicated through a chink in the wall dividing them, and arranged to meet near a mullberry tree whose berries were at first white. Thisbe arrives first, sees a lioness, drops her cloak in alarm and runs away. Pyramus finds Thisbees' cloak and thinks the lion ate her. He then kills himself in grief. When Thisbee returns, she sees Pyramus dead, so she kills herself, too. Their blood changes the tree's white berries to red. Although Shakespeare was familiar with the Pyramus and Thisby story from school, his actual source for Romeo and Juliet was Arthur Brooke's poem Romeus and Juliet, which mirrors the plot of Shakespeare's play much more closely. Brooke's poem is derived from a series of Italian stories, themselves ultimately based on Pyramus and Thisby.
How do you suppose the threat of being handed if they scare the ladies will affect the artisans' interpretation of the tragedy of Pyramus and Thisby?
The threat of death may add a sense of urgency and fear to the artisans' performance, potentially making them more cautious and precise in their interpretation of the tragedy of Pyramus and Thisbe. It could also lead to heightened emotions and intensity in their acting, as they strive to avoid any mistakes that could result in punishment. Ultimately, the threat may influence them to take their roles more seriously and deliver a more compelling performance.

Methinks the moon looks with a watery eye?
The line is spoken by Titania - at the very end of Act III scene i, from -A Midsummer Night's DreamEnter QUINCE, SNUG, BOTTOM, FLUTE, SNOUT, and STARVELINGBOTTOM Are we all met?QUINCE Pat, pat; and here's a marvellous convenient placefor our rehearsal. This green plot shall be ourstage, this hawthorn-brake our tiring-house; and wewill do it in action as we will do it before the duke.BOTTOM Peter Quince,--QUINCE What sayest thou, bully Bottom?BOTTOM There are things in this comedy of Pyramus andThisby that will never please. First, Pyramus mustdraw a sword to kill himself; which the ladiescannot abide. How answer you that?SNOUT By'r lakin, a parlous fear.STARVELING I believe we must leave the killing out, when all is done.BOTTOM Not a whit: I have a device to make all well.Write me a prologue; and let the prologue seem tosay, we will do no harm with our swords, and thatPyramus is not killed indeed; and, for the morebetter assurance, tell them that I, Pyramus, am notPyramus, but Bottom the weaver: this will put themout of fear.QUINCE Well, we will have such a prologue; and it shall bewritten in eight and six.BOTTOM No, make it two more; let it be written in eight and eight.SNOUT Will not the ladies be afeard of the lion?STARVELING I fear it, I promise you.BOTTOM Masters, you ought to consider with yourselves: tobring in--God shield us!--a lion among ladies, is amost dreadful thing; for there is not a more fearfulwild-fowl than your lion living; and we ought tolook to 't.SNOUT Therefore another prologue must tell he is not a lion.BOTTOM Nay, you must name his name, and half his face mustbe seen through the lion's neck: and he himselfmust speak through, saying thus, or to the samedefect,--'Ladies,'--or 'Fair-ladies--I would wishYou,'--or 'I would request you,'--or 'I wouldentreat you,--not to fear, not to tremble: my lifefor yours. If you think I come hither as a lion, itwere pity of my life: no I am no such thing; I am aman as other men are;' and there indeed let him namehis name, and tell them plainly he is Snug the joiner.QUINCE Well it shall be so. But there is two hard things;that is, to bring the moonlight into a chamber; for,you know, Pyramus and Thisby meet by moonlight.SNOUT Doth the moon shine that night we play our play?BOTTOM A calendar, a calendar! look in the almanac; findout moonshine, find out moonshine.QUINCE Yes, it doth shine that night.BOTTOM Why, then may you leave a casement of the greatchamber window, where we play, open, and the moonmay shine in at the casement.QUINCE Ay; or else one must come in with a bush of thornsand a lanthorn, and say he comes to disfigure, or topresent, the person of Moonshine. Then, there isanother thing: we must have a wall in the greatchamber; for Pyramus and Thisby says the story, didtalk through the chink of a wall.SNOUT You can never bring in a wall. What say you, Bottom?BOTTOM Some man or other must present Wall: and let himhave some plaster, or some loam, or some rough-castabout him, to signify wall; and let him hold hisfingers thus, and through that cranny shall Pyramusand Thisby whisper.QUINCE If that may be, then all is well. Come, sit down,every mother's son, and rehearse your parts.Pyramus, you begin: when you have spoken yourspeech, enter into that brake: and so every oneaccording to his cue.Enter PUCK behind PUCK What hempen home-spuns have we swaggering here,So near the cradle of the fairy queen?What, a play toward! I'll be an auditor;An actor too, perhaps, if I see cause.QUINCE Speak, Pyramus. Thisby, stand forth.BOTTOM Thisby, the flowers of odious savours sweet,--QUINCE Odours, odours.BOTTOM --odours savours sweet:So hath thy breath, my dearest Thisby dear.But hark, a voice! stay thou but here awhile,And by and by I will to thee appear.Exit PUCK A stranger Pyramus than e'er played here.Exit FLUTE Must I speak now?QUINCE Ay, marry, must you; for you must understand he goesbut to see a noise that he heard, and is to come again.FLUTE Most radiant Pyramus, most lily-white of hue,Of colour like the red rose on triumphant brier,Most brisky juvenal and eke most lovely Jew,As true as truest horse that yet would never tire,I'll meet thee, Pyramus, at Ninny's tomb.QUINCE 'Ninus' tomb,' man: why, you must not speak thatyet; that you answer to Pyramus: you speak all yourpart at once, cues and all Pyramus enter: your cueis past; it is, 'never tire.'FLUTE O,--As true as truest horse, that yet wouldnever tire.Re-enter PUCK, and BOTTOM with an ass's headBOTTOM If I were fair, Thisby, I were only thine.QUINCE O monstrous! O strange! we are haunted. Pray,masters! fly, masters! Help!Exeunt QUINCE, SNUG, FLUTE, SNOUT, and STARVELINGPUCK I'll follow you, I'll lead you about a round,Through bog, through bush, through brake, through brier:Sometime a horse I'll be, sometime a hound,A hog, a headless bear, sometime a fire;And neigh, and bark, and grunt, and roar, and burn,Like horse, hound, hog, bear, fire, at every turn.Exit BOTTOM Why do they run away? this is a knavery of them tomake me afeard.Re-enter SNOUT SNOUT O Bottom, thou art changed! what do I see on thee?BOTTOM What do you see? you see an asshead of your own, doyou?Exit SNOUT Re-enter QUINCE QUINCE Bless thee, Bottom! bless thee! thou arttranslated.Exit BOTTOM I see their knavery: this is to make an ass of me;to fright me, if they could. But I will not stirfrom this place, do what they can: I will walk upand down here, and I will sing, that they shall hearI am not afraid.Sings The ousel cock so black of hue,With orange-tawny bill,The throstle with his note so true,The wren with little quill,--TITANIA [Awaking] What angel wakes me from my flowery bed?BOTTOM [Sings]The finch, the sparrow and the lark,The plain-song cuckoo gray,Whose note full many a man doth mark,And dares not answer nay;--for, indeed, who would set his wit to so foolisha bird? who would give a bird the lie, though he cry'cuckoo' never so?TITANIA I pray thee, gentle mortal, sing again:Mine ear is much enamour'd of thy note;So is mine eye enthralled to thy shape;And thy fair virtue's force perforce doth move meOn the first view to say, to swear, I love thee.BOTTOM Methinks, mistress, you should have little reasonfor that: and yet, to say the truth, reason andlove keep little company together now-a-days; themore the pity that some honest neighbours will notmake them friends. Nay, I can gleek upon occasion.TITANIA Thou art as wise as thou art beautiful.BOTTOM Not so, neither: but if I had wit enough to get outof this wood, I have enough to serve mine own turn.TITANIA Out of this wood do not desire to go:Thou shalt remain here, whether thou wilt or no.I am a spirit of no common rate;The summer still doth tend upon my state;And I do love thee: therefore, go with me;I'll give thee fairies to attend on thee,And they shall fetch thee jewels from the deep,And sing while thou on pressed flowers dost sleep;And I will purge thy mortal grossness soThat thou shalt like an airy spirit go.Peaseblossom! Cobweb! Moth! and Mustardseed!Enter PEASEBLOSSOM, COBWEB, MOTH, and MUSTARDSEEDPEASEBLOSSOM Ready.COBWEB And I.MOTH And I.MUSTARDSEED And I.ALL Where shall we go?TITANIA Be kind and courteous to this gentleman;Hop in his walks and gambol in his eyes;Feed him with apricocks and dewberries,With purple grapes, green figs, and mulberries;The honey-bags steal from the humble-bees,And for night-tapers crop their waxen thighsAnd light them at the fiery glow-worm's eyes,To have my love to bed and to arise;And pluck the wings from Painted butterfliesTo fan the moonbeams from his sleeping eyes:Nod to him, elves, and do him courtesies.PEASEBLOSSOM Hail, mortal!COBWEB Hail!MOTH Hail!MUSTARDSEED Hail!BOTTOM I cry your worship's mercy, heartily: I beseech yourworship's name.COBWEB Cobweb.BOTTOM I shall desire you of more acquaintance, good MasterCobweb: if I cut my finger, I shall make bold withyou.
