"In this same interlude it doth befall that I, one Snout by name, present a wall."
The wall is a character in "A Midsummer Night's Dream" that is part of a group of artisans putting on a play for the Duke's wedding. The wall is portrayed as a literal wall in their play within the play, and its role is to separate the lovers Pyramus and Thisbe. It adds a comical element to the play.
Pyramus curses the wall because he believes it has deprived him of his beloved Thisbe, causing him to mistakenly think she is dead. In his grief and anger, he blames the wall for the tragic misunderstanding that led to their deaths.

pryamus and thisbe faced a lot of problems. first of all their parents forbid them of seeing each other. They had to communicate through a crack in the wall. And they physically couldn't live without each other. :(

The Legend of the Red Mulberries (300th Post!) A long time ago, in an old acient city of Babylon, there lived a handsome youth named Pyramus and a lovely girl named Thisbe. They grew up together in their neighborhood, for their houses were just next door to each other.
A chink is a small hole in a wall. If it is the wall of a house, it will let in the cold or the wind, and so should be filled in. In an outdoor wall, such as the one in Pyramus and Thisbe, there is no such need. It does provide an opportunity for people on either side of the wall to speak to each other.
They communicated through a brick wall after her parents forbid them to see each other again. There was a small hole inside the wall and they had to put their mouths and ears against the wail so they could hear each other.
In the Ovidian version, Pyramus and Thisbe is the story of two lovers in the city of Babylon who occupy connected houses, forbidden by their parents to be wed, because of their parents' rivalry. Through a crack in one of the walls, they whisper their love for each other. They arrange to meet near at a tomb under a mulberry tree and state their feelings for each other. Thisbe arrives first, but upon seeing a lioness with a mouth bloody from a recent kill, she flees, leaving behind her veil. The lioness drinks from a nearby fountain, then by chance mutilates the veil Thisbe had left behind. When Pyramus arrives, he is horrified at the sight of Thisbe's veil, assuming that a fierce beast had killed her. Pyramus kills himself, violently thrusting a sword into his groin, and in turn splashing blood on the white mulberry leaves. Pyramus' blood stains the white mulberry fruits, turning them dark. Thisbe returns, eager to tell Pyramus what had happened to her, but she finds Pyramus' dead body under the shade of the mulberry tree. Thisbe, after a brief period of mourning, stabs herself with the same sword. In the end, the gods listen to Thisbe's lament, and forever change the color of the mulberry fruits into the stained color to honor the forbidden love.
Quince is the Narrator, Bottom is Pyramus, and Flute is Thisbe. Snug plays the Lion ("The know that I, one Snug the joiner am; no lion fell nor else no lion's dam.") and Snout is the Wall ("I, one Snout by name present a wall"). By process of elimination, Starveling must play Moonshine.
Pyramus and Thisbe is a tragic love story from Roman mythology about two young lovers whose families oppose their relationship. The couple communicates through a crack in the wall between their houses, but a series of misunderstandings leads to their untimely deaths. This tale is often seen as a precursor to Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet.
