Write two to three sentences explaining one way that Ovid creates suspense in "Pyramus and Thisbe." Support your response with details from the poem.

Ovid created suspense in "Pyramus and Thisbe" by dragging on Pyramus discovering the fate of his love which was all untrue. He did this by using many sentences that eluded to this discovery, causing Pyramus' death. Suspense is further carried on by Thisbe now having to discover her lover close to death, promising her own downfall in the name me of love.

Sample Response: Ovid creates suspense by slowly unfolding the events of the story. Rather than telling readers right away that Pyramus and Thisbe both die, he describes the tragic sequence of events in a particular order and in detail, making the reader wait to find out what happens.
