In Act 1 Scene 1, Lucentio comes to Padua and sets eyes on the lovely Bianca and falls in love. Though, her father, Baptista, only allows tutors to see Bianca. Due to this Lucentio swaps places with his Servant Tranio and pretends to be a servant. He renames himself Cambio and then Tranio keeps Lucentios status while in Padua. A supporting quote would be,

“Tranio, I burn, I pine, I perish, Tranio,
If I achieve not this young modest girl.
Counsel me, Tranio, for I know thou canst:
Assist me, Tranio, for I know thou wilt” (1.1.197-200). This adds to the overall theme of "appearance vs. reality" in the play because it sets the tone right from the very beginning with one of the main characters identities being built on deception.

Petruchio shows up to his own wedding dressed as a madman and jester. He seems to be unhinged and a mad man. Though, contrary to the mad man, he is portraying one to test Kate's patience and attitude. A supporting quote about his appeared "unseriousness" of the wedding is shown here, “To me she’s married, not unto my clothes:
Could I repair what she will wear in me,
As I can change these poor accoutrements,
’Twere well for Kate and better for myself” (3.2.119-122). Overall this continues to contribute to the overall theme of "appearance vs reality" because Petruchio's perceived appearance was intentionally meant to throw off Kate and the rest of her family and to teach Kate a lesson, which continues to develop in the rest of the story.

On the eve of the wedding between Lucentio and Bianca, Lucentios "father" was a man that was simply found off of the street and turned out to be a merchant. He was then hired to pretend to be Lucentio's rich father for the wedding. Unfortunately, Lucentios true father appeared before the wedding and ruined Lucentio's plan. There was a lot of pointing fingers between Lucentio, Tranio, Lucientos fake father, and his true father after this revelation. Bianca and Baptista discovered this after Bianca had married Lucentio. Lucentio claimed this man to be crazy when he found him but eventually the truth emerged. A quote from this scene, “O Heavens! This is my son Lucentio,
And this is Tranio in his clothing here;
Traitor, thou hast robb’d me of my son!” (5.1.106-108). This example contributes to the plot because it symbolizes the turning point in the story on how "reality" is coming out and the surface level appearance is not always what it seems.

Throughout the plot of the book, Kate appears to be a spoiled and "untamable shrew" of a woman. This fact is supported by many instances of how she acts and portrays herself. Though, in the end when we see the men make bets on their wife, we see Kate come through as the most obedient. It appears that after all of her time with Petruchio, she has become "tamed". Even farther than that, she has become a devoted and loving wife to Petruchio. This is demonstrated in the quote, “Thy husband is thy lord, thy life, thy keeper,
Thy head, thy sovereign; one that cares for thee,
And for thy maintenance: commits his body
To painful labor both by sea and land,
To watch the night in storms, the day in cold,
Whilst thou liest warm at home, secure and safe;
And craves no other tribute at thy hands
But love, fair looks and true obedience” (5.2.146-153). In short, she goes from a rebellious to an obedient nature. This sums up the plot because most of the play was focused on Kates behavior and this scene greatly contributes to the conclusion of the plot.

Lastly, Bianca's reveals her true character as the end. Completely opposite of Kate, Bianca is known as the sweet and beautiful sister; the one that everyone desires. Though in the end it is shown that her appearance again was not what it seemed. When the husbands bet on the most obedient wife, all thought that Bianca surely would prove to be the most worthy. Though it was Kate, not she, who proved to be the most worthy. Bianca would not even come when she was summoned. A supporting quote from this scene, “I am as poor as that I know I am,
And I am more faithful than that I know you,
And I will not give you more but my hand" (5.2. 131-133). Again, like with Kate, this wraps up the plot by completing reversing how it "appeared" to be at the beginning of the book.
