        <description><![CDATA[Good question!  Christopher Sly is a commoner, unpolished and drunk to say the least.  The Lord and the hunting party that come upon him are more polished, educated, and come from noble blood.  In Shakespeare's plays, the commoners (servants, peasants, etc.) are depicted by prose--non-poetic language which indicates their lowly status in society.  The noblemen (Lords, Ladies, Kings, Queens, etc.) all speak in poetry in Shakespeare's plays...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[In this scene we see that although Petruccio has won Katarina's hand, his "taming" of her is far from over. This scene is incredibly amusing, as we join the onlookers of this wedding cringing in embarrassment at Petruccio's appearance, lateness and behaviour. We can see that Petruccio just doesn't want a dowry - he wants a wife that is "tamed". His actions serve to rob Katarina of any sort of dignity whatsoever on her wedding day, whilst...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[This play is thought of as Shakespeare's take on the battle of the sexes. Briefly, Lucentio arrives in the city of Padua keen to study, but then falls in love with Bianca, who already has two suitors and whose father, Baptista Minola, has declared that no one may marry Bianca until her older, foulmouthed sister, Katherine is married. Lucentio disguises himself as Bianca's Latin tutor to spend time with her. His friend, Petruccio, a brash young...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[We have two sisters, Katherine and Bianca.  Both are beautiful and very wealthy, but Bianca is considered more lovely as she is also kind and obedient.  Katherine is the older, and being unmarried and feeling as though everyone favors her sister, she is understandably grumpy.  Hence, she has the nickname "shrew".  Bianca has many suitors, but Katherine has none.  It is customary for the older daughter to marry first.  So, one of the...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Shakespeare was a working playwright who needed to write in order to pay his bills (he was not some rich lord writing for his amusement or to send work to his friends) so his primary aim was to entertain. Taming of the Shrew is an early play and explores the division of the sexes. It many ways it makes uncomfortable watching today as the treatment of Kate at the end of the play sees her as 'broken.' Remember a play is a product of its times...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Petruchio beats his servants four times in this scene.  Grumio tells Curtis that Petruchio beat him on the journey because Kate's horse stumbled and Kate fell to the ground.  Upon their first entry to Petruchio's house, and as they sit down to eat their first meal in their newly shared home, Petruchio beats his servants on three occasions because of the perceived deficiencies of spilt water and badly cooked food.  Kate, the reported shrew,...]]></description>
