Read the passage. excerpt from Act V, Scene 1, in A Midsummer Night's Dream by William Shakespeare Shakespeare's version of Ovid's Pyramus and Thisbe myth Pyramus O grim-look’d night! O night with hue so black! O night, which ever art when day is not! O night, O night! alack, alack, alack, I fear my Thisby’s promise is forgot! And thou, O wall, O sweet, O lovely wall, That stand’st between her father’s ground and mine! Thou wall, O wall, O sweet and lovely wall, Show me thy chink, to blink through with mine eyne! Refer to Explorations in Literature for a complete version of this scene from the play. What effect does the wording, "O night, O night! alack, alack, alack!" have on the tone of Pyramus's speech? It makes Pyramus's anguished expression of love sound ridiculous. It creates a tone of fantasy, as if the events were not really occurring. It makes the speech especially sad, and Pyramus appears pitiful. It makes Pyramus's tone more objective, because he really is in a bad situation.
