Later on in the play Petruchio makes a bet with Hortensio and Lucentio. He says whoever’s wife comes to them when they are called upon will get 6,000 crowns. Hortensio and Lucentio’s wives don't come when they’re called upon. Katherine, however, is a different story. “What is your will, sir, that you send for me?”(Shakespeare.V.ii.109). Katherine surprises everyone when she actually comes ahead when she is called on. This showed that Katherine is fully tamed because she didn’t necessarily have to come because she wasn’t going to lose nor win anything at all if she came or not. The other wives didn’t come, so there wasn’t really an urge for her to go. Petruchio is truly in charge because he figured out just how to properly discipline Katherine.
