Answer:

Thisbe, after a brief period of mourning, stabs herself with the same sword. In the end, the gods listen to Thisbe's lament, and forever change the color of the mulberry fruits into the stained color to honor their forbidden love. Pyramus and Thisbe proved to be faithful lovers to each other until the very end.

How does Shakespeare transform Ovid's myth "Pyramus and Thisbe" in Act V, Scene I of A Midsummer Night's Dream? He adds comic asides to make the story humorous. ... It shows that Pyramus is so overwhelmed by his love for Thisbe that he has lost his sense of proportion.
