The Taming of the Shrew is one of the earliest comedies written by
sixteenth and seventeenth century English bard, William Shakespeare. ... In The
Taming of the Shrew, Petruchio was the only suitor willing to court Kate,
the more undesirable of Baptistas two daughters. ... Petruchio began his famous
process of taming his bride. ... Petruchios
method of "taming" Kate featured depriving her of the things she had taken
for granted and been given all of her life, and he sarcastically acted as
if it was in her best interest (Leggatt 410). ... They thrive off of the intellectual games
they play throughout The Taming of the Shrew. ... The customs and standards of
marriages during the Elizabethan Age that Shakespeare wrote The Taming of
the Shrew in are represented very accurately throughout the text of the
play. ... Kate was not
the conventional shrew, because most "shrews" were women that were already
married and dominated their husbands in their relationship. ... Petruchios therapy for Kate has been
compared to holding up a mirror and letting the shrew see herself. ... The patriarchal styles that
the marriages took on during the Elizabethan age are very well represented
in Shakespeares The Taming of the Shrew.
