The Taming Of The Shrew
The Taming Of The Shrew is a comedy written by William Shakespeare. The play is about nothing
else than the taming of a woman named Katherine, whom is supposedly the shrew of the play. ...
I have many positions on this play and I will reveal all of them in this essay. ... My first theory is that Katherine was not the real shrew of the play. ... I feel that Petruccio was a man that knew how to tame a
shrew by using her own methods against her. ...
From the very beginning the audience can see that Katherine is a shrew and needs to be tamed. ... "
Katherine striking her sister may seem like she is bullying Bianca, and she is, but I feel that it goes
much deeper than her being a shrew and ill tempered. ... He turns into more of a
shrew than Katherine was, and he makes it seem as though he has the best intentions for Katherine. ... At this point,
Petruccio is definitely acting more of a shrew than anyone else in the play. ... Katherine
knows that if she summits to him, she will be able to command respect from others rather than suffer from
the universal revulsion she receives as a shrew. ... If Kate was in todays society, being a shrew would be normal. If Kate was really a shrew at
heart in the play, which she wasnt, she was tamed at the end anyway. ... Petruccio, on the other hand, was not so much
of a bad husband but more of a shrew to teach Katherine a lesson. ... 5), he got the point across to Katherine that being a shrew
would not get her anywhere in that society.
