Read the excerpt from Ovid’s "Pyramus and Thisbe".

Pyramus had left

a little later than his Thisbe had,
and he could see what surely were the tracks
of a wild beast left clearly on deep dust.
His face grew ashen. And when he had found
the bloodstained shawl, he cried: "Now this same night
will see two lovers lose their lives: she was
the one more worthy of long life: it's I
who bear the guilt for this.


Which statement best describes how the order of events creates tension?
Because Pyramus does not see the beast, readers fear confrontation.
Because Pyramus does not see the beast, he believes he is lost.
Because Pyramus is late, he misunderstands Thisbe’s situation.
Because Pyramus is late, readers question his devotion.

Answer :

Answer: “if Pyramus has left at the same times as Thisbe, he might have seen that she was not killed by the lion.

Explanation: I finished the test

The sequencing of events in a statement (a) or (i) best depicts how tension is created. Pyramus and this be were the heroes and heroines of a Babylonian love story in which they could only speak through a breach in the wall separating their homes.

What role does the sequencing of events play in creating tension?

The tension caused by the sequence of events is depicted in this excerpt from Ovid's "Pyramus and Thisbe," and Pyramus' late arrival causes him to misjudge Thisbe's condition.

He would have realized that she was actually not slain by the beast, but by the beast itself if he had arrived on time. He notices a jawed lioness loitering beneath the mulberry leaves where they were scheduled to meet.

But, because he arrives late, he misreads the situation and murders himself with a sword, prompting Thisbe to kill herself with the same weapon, and the play ends tragically.

The tragedy would have been different if Pyramus had not arrived late. As a result, the first option is right.
