Explanation:

First, identify the specific setting, conflict, and theme from the provided text (Pyramus and Thisbe, a classic tragic love story). The setting is the wall-divided city with Ninus' tomb/mulberry tree. The conflict is the lovers being forbidden from seeing each other by their families. The theme is that forbidden love drives desperate, secretive action. Then, connect these elements to explain how the author develops the theme.

Answer:

In lines 1-32 the author uses the wall-separated city and family-forbidden love to develop the theme that forbidden love fuels risky, secret devotion
by linking the dividing wall (setting) as the physical barrier that amplifies the lovers' secret planning and desperate escape attempts (conflict), showing how the restrictive setting pushes their forbidden love to drive bold, secretive action
