Taming Of The Shrew.

Q.1. Who tamed who? In my opinion on who was changed whom. They both changed each other,  Kate's  attitude was unladylike and you could even say creepy. Her heart was tamed because she saw the good, in him, and not the evil hairy controlling freak. I think one of the changing in Kate was that she realized she was loved and saw her own talents and was pleased. The gift was being a boss of the their grand house. She turned what seemed to be a dump place, to a clean healthy living style. But I am not saying that she was only a boring housewife, she was a friend and a lover towards her husband. Petruchio was changed too like I said in the beginning. His house was filthy and unclean. He didn't realized how dirty things were, in fact I think he was even ashamed. He was changed by her because he saw that she would respect him as her husband. So again I think they both changed each other. In the end they were friendly and flirting, they really found true love in one another. Yes the joke was private.

Q.2.  Kate's final speech was amusing. What she says was an exaggeration of what the bible says. I feel like to fully answer this question we needed to hear from her husband side also.


Q.3.  Kate reminded me of lady Macbeth her dominate character and strong will. But Kate was very open and  loud with her personality she didn't care if the whole world was to hear her voice or witnessing her actions. This was indeed caused by her fathers treatment towards her, he made her feel unloved and unwanted, so she came to believing this and was despised, she would lash out on everybody because no one would dare to love her. She was changed by her husband because he stood by her side when they were married, like a husband should.

Petruchio. He married for wealth and power. funny thing is you would think it would be the other way round. Petruchio is rough and heartless but that soon changed when he found true love. He is very humors and intelligent and that came out when he married Kate. 

Bianca is spoiled and is very good at manipulating to get her ways. I believe she is the real shrew unlike her sister who has been accused of. Her marriage will not last because of her attitude and how she was brought up. She's the devil behind the mask.

Lecentio is to young to marry and is not ready for marriage because he does not know what true love is. He is immature and should of stuck with his education more.
