Taming of the Shrew, had an excellent story, which can be linked to several films that exist today, namely Othello, 10 Things I Hate About You and The King Lion. In William Shakespeare's play The Taming of the Shrew, the shrew played by Katherine had a terrible outlook on life and just about everything else. Her negativity was caused by her younger and more beautiful sister, Bianca. Bianca wanted to get married. She had all the hearts of men, Katherine kept none. If Katherine were married, Bianca might be. She was truly a shrew who had to be tamed. Petruchio came to Padua. Petruchio could tame Katherine for the right amount of mazuma. Before the advent of Petruchio, Katherine, the terrible wild shrew, caused trouble for everyone. Everyone who knew her loathed her. She was very jealous of her beautiful sister Bianca, because of her suitors and her splendor. Katherine tries to fight with Bianca all the time. She even hit Bianca. No one wanted to marry Katherine until Petruchio arrived in Padua to find a bride. “I come to see my well-off wives in Padua; if they be rich, then with ecstasy to Padua” (Shakespeare Iii76-77). He and one of Bianca's suitors, Luciento, had a conversation. As a joke, Luciento mentioned to Petruchio marrying Katherine. Petruchio thought about profit and thought it could be great. “Petruchio can have no illusions about the legendary shrew, Katherine, because others are quick 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 off on the best of terms. But Petruchio decides they should... middle of paper ......io calls Kate, she arrives, demonstrating that she has become obedient. “Kate's final verbalization chastising Bianca and the widow for their disobedience and cataloging their obligations that a wife owes to her husband creates a different moment on the scene today” (Vaughn30). This shows that Katherine has been tamed and is no longer acting like a shrew. Bianca has an outburst that proves Bianca truly is a shrew. “It is a wonder, with your leave it will thus be tamed” (Shakespeare Vii214-215). Now everyone knows the real Katherine. The consequence of the vicissitudes of Katherine's behavior at the end of the play proves paramount. This shows that people can transmute. It also shows that some people can bring out the best in some people. In this case, Petruchio brought out the best in Katherine after taming her and making her an obedient wife..
