Pyramus and Thisbe walls

In Ovid's poem Pyramus and Thisbe, there is a wall that separates two lovers. Literally, it is the one barrier that separates them. Metaphorically, it is used as a symbol displaying Ovid's use of symbolism. It symbolizes the one obstacle in the way of their marriage, their parents. The wall is also the thing that made them leave their houses and meet outside at the mulberry tree. ALthough it might be the reason for their separation, it is also the reason for their death. They could not take that they could not see each other so they went to meet outside and it eventually ended up leading to their death.
