What problem do Pyramus and Thisbe face in the beginning of the story? What theme could this relate to?

Their family did not allow them to get married. This may relate to the theme of forbidden love or family conflict.

Explanation:

Pyramus and Thisbe is an old tale that inspired Shakespeare to write Romeo and Juliet.

Pyramus and Thisbe were neighbors and fell in love, but their family did not get along and so they forbade them to marry and even communicate, but they spoke through a hole in the wall that separated the two houses. One day the couple agreed to run away together, but a misunderstanding caused both to die.

A theme that can come out of this type of story is forbidden love, but conflicts between families can also be noticed.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
