        <description><![CDATA[Not really. This book "Taming of the Shrew" mainly focuses on the themes of marriage and courtship and also dealt a great importance of the married life after the wedding. It is mostly talking about relationships with other people and how they impact their daily lives.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[What do you mean by the word "structure"? Do you mean the plotting of the story?
If you mean that (I assumed you do), this Shakespeare comedy follows a standard five acts to tell his play, similar to his other acts like "Macbeth", "Hamlet", "King Lear".
First, it is the introduction, or the beginning point of the story, which introduces to the new character, Christopher Sly. This chapter also starts the basic necessities of a plot graph- the...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The theme of Shakespeare's "The Taming of The Shrew" is mostly about gender roles and how men and women relate to each other.  There are lessons for the modern audience to learn from Katherina and Petruchio.  The common belief during Shakespeare's time, and even today in some cultures, was that the man was the dominant person in the relationship and the female is to be submissive to his desires.  Although the characters of Katherina and...]]></description>

        <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>
