Johnny Reza 2/08/04 Cl. 5 "Then tell me, if I get your daughters love what dowry shall I have with her to wife." Taming of the Shrew by Shakespear is about a woman who has a bad temper and the man (Petruchio), who determines to marry her. In the play, marriage is a contract between two people for money and love is a secondary consideration. "Then tell me, if I get your daughters love what dowry shall I have with her to wife." When Petruchio meets Baptista for the first time, he asks him what price he will get for marrying Katerina. He doesn't care about Kate; he only cares about her money. This suggests that marriage in the Renaissance was a social contract that excluded love. Petruchio on his wedding day arrives dressed liked a bum. "To me she is married, not unto my clothes." Petruchio admits that what matters is not clothing or expensive jewelry but is in of the person.
