The Summary of Taming of the Shrew The beautiful and gentle
Bianca has no shortage of admirers (Lucentio, Gremio and Hortensio)
but her father insists that she will not marry until her shrewish
sister, Katharina, is betrothed. Bianca's suitors persuade
fortune-seeker Petruchio to court her. The suitors pay for any
costs involved and there is also the goal of Katharina's dowry.
Petruchio marries Katharina and he carries Katharina off to his
country house with his servant Grumio. Petruchio intends to
browbeat Katharina into submission and he denies her food, sleep
and her new clothes, whilst continuously singing her praises.
Katharina is tamed. They return to Padua where Lucentio has won
Bianca. At a banquet they wager on who has the most obedient wife.
Each wife is issued with commands but only Katharina obeys and
promptly lectures everyone on the importance of wifely
submission

Character Map
Slide 13
"the shrew" refers to Katherine "tamer of the shrew" refers to
Petruccio, sister in both the play and film have the same name,
Bianca. Baptista (the very wealthy father of Katherine and Bianca)
desires to find husbands for both his daughters, offering a fine
dowry; Bianca, the younger and fairer, gets more offers for
marriage, but Baptista, for some reason, desires his eldest,
Katherine, the "shrew," to marry first, restricting Bianca. From
there, the character who desires Bianca, Lucentio, finds Petruccio,
who only wants to marry, to "tame" Katherine, so Lucentio
accordingly can marry Bianca. Taming of the Shrew
Slide 14
Shrew Katarina (Kat) "tamer" Patrick (or 'Pat'). Katarina's
sister in both the play and film have the same name, Walter (the
father of Kat and Bianca), of course, desires the best for his
daugters, as fathers ought. To Bianca's demise, their father
restricts her dating without Kat dating as well; Bianca, the more
popular, extraverted, and absent-minded of the two, for her
reasons, gets frustrated at her sister, Kat, who seems incapable of
any positive human interaction. For an upcoming dance, Bianca has a
choice between two dates, Joey and Cameron, but her two rivaling
dates find Pat, a rebellious teenager who plays the "shrew," and,
who they think, may attract Kat, since, of course, Bianca cannot
date without Kat. Through Pat's often ridiculous and hilarious
attempts, he wins Kat's heart, "taming" her anti-social ways. 10
