The Enlightenment cultural matrix picture that I decide to analyze and write about is David. David was well known for defeating Goliath in battle; he only used a rock and slingshot to bring the giant down. Gian Lorenzo Bernini sculpted the statue of David somewhere around 1623 and 1624. The sculpture was marvelously done in exceptional detail, so life like, you actually would think the statue is going to reach out and touch you.

In The Taming of the Shrew, Shakespeare first introduces Petruchio in 1.2 as he is at the front door of his good friend Hortensio with his servant Grumio. From the beginning, Petruchio can be seen as a dominant character as he was bickering with Grumio calling him a villain and threatening him by saying “... I’ll knock your knave’s pate” (1.2.10).
