Pyramus and Thisbe (Lines 54-77)

Ovid's story of Pyramus and Thisbe contains many different types of figures of speech. One of them which he uses is called metonymy, whic is when something or someone is referenced by naming one of its attributes. For example in line 60, "Taedae quoque iure coissent" talks about a wedding torch being lit. This refers to Pyramus and Thisbe's want to get married by talking about lighting, or starting, their wedding torch, or marriage ceremony.
Another example of a figure speech being used could be found on line 73, which says "'Invide,' dicebant, 'paries, quid amantibus obstas?'" The words invide and paries are paired up together, but walls cannot be hateful or jealous. Ovid is using personification in this line, which gives human traits or characteristic to inanimate objects.
Yet another figure of speech that can be found is a metaphor, a term or phrase applied to something to which isn't literally applicable in order to suggest resemblance. This can be found on line 64, which says, "quoque magis tegitur, tectus magis aestuat ignis." This basically means that the love and desire for each other grew between Pyramus and Thisbe while they were kept apart from each other by their fathers and the wall.
