  Mythologies are known for their classic tales and love stories; it may be tragic or not. "Cupid and Psyche" and "The Tragic Love Story of Pyramus and Thisbe" are one of them. Love starts with different experiences and ends up with different outcomes. No matter how we fight the love that we stand for, fate always wins. In the story of Cupid and Psyche, they happily lived together after all the tests that they faced in their relationship. Compared to the story of Pyramus and Thisbe, after all that, they've been through, they didn't have the happy ending that we are expecting to be. Both love stories taught us that love could be worth the risks. No matter how many people, even if it is your parents, forbid your relationship, you will always find a way to be together.
