Topic > Analysis of the Taming of the Shrew - 683

The Taming of the Shrew had a great plot, which can be connected to several films that exist today, for example Othello, 10 Things I Hate About You and The Lion King. In William Shakespeare's play, The Taming of the Shrew, the shrew played by Katherine had a terrible outlook on life and everything else. His negativity was caused by his younger and pulchritudinous sister Bianca. Bianca wanted to get married. She had all the hearts of men, Katherine kept none. If Katherine got married, then Bianca could get married. She was truly a shrew to tame. Petruchio came to Padua. Petruchio could tame Katherine for just the right amount of mazuma. Before the advent of Petruchio, Katherine, the terrible and ferocious shrew, caused dilemmas for everyone. Everything that hated her execrated her. She felt very jealous of her pulchritudinous sister Bianca, because of her suitors and her splendor. Katherine continually tries to start fights with Bianca. He also hit Bianca. No one wanted to marry Caterina until Petruchio arrives in Padua to find a wife. "I come to wealthy wives in Padua; if rich, then rapturous in Padua" (ShakespeareIii76-77). He and one of Bianca's suitors, Luciento, had a conversation. As a joke, Luciento told Petruchio that he had married Katherine. Petruchio thought about the profit and thought it could be big. “Petruchio can have no illusions about the legendary shrew, Katherine, because the others are eager to tell him frankly what to expect” (Vaughn27). Petruchio and Katherine's father meet and decide that Petruchio will receive twenty thousand crowns if he marries Katherine. Petruchio and Katherine meet, but they don't start out on the best of terms. But Petruchio decides that they should... halfway through the paper ......I calls Kate and she arrives, showing that she has become obedient. “The final verbalization of Kate berating Bianca and the widow for their disobedience and cataloging their obligations a wife has to her husband generates a different moment on stage today” (Vaughn30). This shows that Katherine has been tamed and no longer acts like a shrew. Bianca has an outburst that proves that Bianca really is the shrew. “It is a wonder that, by thy leave, it shall be thus tamed” (ShakespeareVii214-215). Now everyone knows the real Katherine. The consequentiality of the story in Katherine's behavior at the end of the show proves to be of fundamental importance. It shows that people can transmute. It also shows that some people can bring out the best in other people. In this case Petruchio brought out the best in Katherine after taming her and making her a compliant wife.
