Each constellation is made of stars that are all approximately in the same direction as seen from Earth. That does not mean they are grouped together in 3D space. The bright star in Taurus is Aldebaran, which is 60-70 light years away and about 100 times brighter than the Sun. The Pleiades is an open cluster that is in Taurus, about 500 light-years away, and the brightest star in the Pleiades, Alcyone, is 2-3 times brighter than Aldebaran.
