Ovid creates suspense by using pacing and sequencing to delay the story's tragic resolution. By having Thisbe arrive first and encounter the lioness, the reader is left in suspense as Pyramus later finds her bloodied veil and mistakenly assumes she is dead. This slow unfolding of events builds tension as the reader waits to see the consequences of the characters' misunderstanding.
