Taming of the Shrew [EPUB ebook] 

Support

Love and marriage are the concerns of Shakespeares The Taming of the Shrew. Lucentios marriage to Bianca is prompted by his idealized love of an apparently ideal woman. Petruchios wooing of Katherine, however, is free of idealism. Petruchio takes money from Biancas suitors to woo her, since Katherine must marry before her sister by her fathers decree; he also arranges the dowry with her father. Petruchio is then ready to marry Katherine, even against her will. Katherine, the shrew of the plays title, certainly acts much changed. But have she and Petruchio learned to love each other? Or is the marriage based on terror and deception?
