The author tell us, in prologue, about the fate Pyramus and Thisbe are going to meet, to introduce characters of the play and fortune that awaits this character.

Explanation:

William Shakespeare in his play 'A Midsummer Night's Dream' includes another play of 'Pyramus and Thisbe' by Ovid. The twist that Shakespeare has brought in including this play within his frame of main play is that he made unprofessional players perform this play. This change brought the comedy in the play.

In Act V, Scene 1, of A Midsummer Night's Dream, Quince enters the stage and delivers the prologue, the most distraughted one, to the audience. In his prolgue, he introduces the characters of the play and also tell the fate main character are about to face. The prologue is an element of play, which an author uses not only to introduce characters but also to tell the fortune of the players.

Thus the author told the readers/audience about Pyramus and Thisbe's fate to inform them of what is about to take place in the play.
