Taming of the Shrew
A wealthy merchant of Padua by the name of Baptista had two daughters. The youngest daughter had suitors who were ready to marry her, but Baptista declared that Bianca would not get marry unless Katherina married first. Katherina had no suitors because she had a strong personality often mistaken for shrewishness. One of Bianca’s suitors devised a plan to pursue her by sneaking into the household as a tutor. A friend who came to visit one of the suitors was intrigued by Katherina’s wealth, so he agreed to woo her. Petruchio was intrigued with Katherina so a marriage was arranged. Through various deceptions and ruses, Patruchio was able to tame Katherina. In the end, Katherina was able to redefine her responsibility and embrace wifely duties.
