The Taming of the Shrew

Personality Modification People never change who they truly are. The person inside of them that they are hiding for so long decides to become visible. They change so fast like the seasons passing by. In the book The Taming of The Shrew by Shakespeare, Bianca and Katherine’s personas change because their circumstances and motivations. They allow themselves to change due to the treatment they are receiving and the path of their journey. For instant, Katherine is the independent, and outspoken…

My narrative takes after The Office but also ties in Taming of the Shrew with the theme. I decided to make Angela have Katherine’s part because she seems like she’d make a good shrew. She shares a lot of the same characteristics with Kate, sharp-tongued, mean to everyone, doesn’t care about anyone, and doesn’t care for marrying someone. Andy is going to be Petruchio who tries to win Angela’s love and hand in marriage, kind of what originally happens in the show. Angela is also going to play…

playhouse comedic tale where everyone does it all out of love. They lie, they cheat, they dominate, and they are formidably dominated. Memorable unruly characters and lasting theatrics, where the Bard releases piquant humor and mischief in The Taming of The Shrew (Shr.), c. 1593, one of his first comedies (The British Library). Aptly, the play satirizes mores of its Tudor epoch, stirring and plays within a play where diction bites. Theatrically, the work is based, in principle, about courtship…

forms. One person's definition of love will be different to another's; but they all have common elements - integrity, respect, and communication.

Patrick is the film adaptation of Shakespeare's character Petruccio of Taming of the Shrew. It must be mentioned, that The Taming of the Shrew was written in the Elizabethan Era in England at a time when men were considered to be superior to women. Consequently characters in plays at that time reflected this idea. Thus it can be said that their are similarities between both characters such as the fact that like Petruccio, Patrick has a mysterious and somewhat mythic background; he is rumored to…

men as well. Using Butler’s essay as one of the lenses for analyzing these tropes. As an example, the Shrew character is one found in almost every romantic comedy that has come out. The female who is fiercely independent and sharp tongued, yet is obviously lonely and unloved. These characters in Shakespeare’s works such as Beatrice in “Much Ado About Nothing” and Katherine in “Taming of the Shrew” had little social power and their independence was depicted as a problem within society.…

OMG. As far as the story itself, it was decent, but i feel im 512 feminist so therefore i have a few issues. First, why can't Bianca just get married? Like i feel like the “shrew” wouldn't need to be tamed if Bianca just got hitched. Also, “shrew”?? Oh, so in Shakespearean times if you don't obey your man then you're a shrew? Don't get me wrong, Kate's attitude was super irritating, but she shouldn't be labeled for it! That whole aspect of the play was driving me crazy, had how she just…
