What is the meaning of "Pyramus & Thisbe" today? What themes still resonate? What do not and why?

I inferred you are referring to the Greek tale Pyramus and Thisbe which is attributed to Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet.

Romeo and Juliet

Explanation:

This Greek myth talks about the similar play of Romeo and Juliet  who were two young lovers forbidden to see each other by their parents, and were separated by a wall from conjoined houses and spoke to each other from a small crack in the barrier. Thisbe represents Juliet, Pyramus refers to Romeo.

the use supports it by making it seem like the dictators are not bad to the people when the truly are.

the word that best matches the meaning of the expression "went to the big ocean" is died.

the goldfish died, which is why the father looks at the children mournfully. the "big ocean" is the father's way of saying fish heaven. he could have just said that the goldfish died, but this way, the children imagine the fish in a bigger, better place instead of just picturing a dead fish.
