Question

which lines from ovid’s “pyramus and thisbe” contain an example of characterization?
ringed by the tall brick walls
semiramis
had built—so we are told.
the wall their houses shared had
one thin crack,
which formed when they were built
and then was left.
if you searched all
the east, you’d find no girl with
greater charm
than thisbe,
when first light
had banished night’s bright star-
ies from the sky
and sun had left the wine - soaked
meadows dry.

Explanation:

Characterization involves describing a character's traits. The line "If you searched all the East, you'd find no girl with greater charm than Thisbe;" directly describes Thisbe's positive trait (charm), which is an example of characterization. The other lines focus on setting details (walls, the wall's crack, the time of day) rather than character traits.
