Pyramus and Thisbe must resort to talking through a chink in a large wall at night when they sneak away from their homes. Pyramus comes upon Thisbe one night and believes she is dead after coming across a bloody piece of clothing; however, she has only been frightened, not killed. Pyramus, thinking she is dead, kills himself. Thisbe then stumbles across Pyramus' body and subsequently kills herself so they can be together in death, just as Romeo and Juliet did.
