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!

How is pyramus and thisbe the same as Romeo and Juliet?

They are not the same, but they are similar. Indeed it is thought that the original Pyramus and Thisbe story is one of the sources of the Romeo and Juliet story. The key part that is similar is that one of a pair of lovers, mistakenly believing his love to be dead, commits suicide, whereupon the other lover, finding that her love is really dead, commits suicide also. In Pyramus and Thisbe, Pyramus believes Thisbe to be dead because he finds her garment stained with blood, whereas Romeo believes Juliet to be dead because he has been told by Balthazar that he saw her buried. Of course if that was all there was to it, Romeo and Juliet would be as short and as silly as Pyramus and Thisbe in Midsummer Night's Dream.
