Taming of The Shrew (Katherina

A detailed Summary of Taming of The Shrew (Katherina

Katherina in my opinion is smart and quick witted. I do not feel sorry for her

because she brought her situation on herself by letting Bianca and her father harass her.

Katherina is shown to be a shrew at the start of the play. As we delve into the play

we find that Katherina is not really a shrew but a caring and loving person. She acts

shrewish because she feels inferior to her younger sister who has three suitors. Katherina

acts like a shrew most of the time because it is the only way she knows how to get

anyone's attention, positive or negative.

Katherina has a great desire for a husband to love and care for her. She is lucky

that her father will not let Bianca get married because if this happens, Kate will be

forgotten and would never get married. Kate is fortunate enough to have a rich father

because somebody is bound to marry her because of her worth. Petruchio is looking for a

Petruchio is not only in the wedding for money. He is attracted to Kate because of

would have no meaning at all. Kate was my favourite character because she has a lot of

intends to tame Kate by denying her clothes and food. He is clever to do this because it is

Petruchio tamed her and how well mannered she became.

I think that Kate has come to terms with her new self. She enjoys being nice. She

woman who thinks she is G-D's gift to the world and takes a lot of things for granted.
