Ovidâs âPyramus and Thisbe.â I guess a good coach always has good philosophy friend. The Origins of the Archetypal Themes Present in Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet" The origins of Shakespeare's play “Romeo and Juliet” are relatively unknown.

Shakespeare and Ovid employ different means of personifying the wall, but in both, the wall is represented as a symbol of forbidden love.
