To me she’s married, not unto my clothes.

This final quote goes to show that Petrucio is obviously hiding something from Kate and he is using his clothes as a medium to tame her, which is unknown to her. He is using is clothes to disguise is true intentions.

In the play The Taming of the Shrew, by William Shakespeare, a recurring theme that is important to the plot is facade's, or disguises. Characters disguise themselves for many reasons. For example, Lucentio disguises himself to get closer to love. Tranio disguises to deceive others. The pedant dresses as Vincentio to approve of the marriage between Bianca and Lucentio. This also poses a question, do the clothes make the man. The answer has to be no because in the end all of the disguises are discovered and all fall of. With all of these disguises, Shakespeare forces the audience to stay engaged throughout the whole play.

Why, Petruchio is coming in a new hat and an old jerkin, a pair of old breeches thrice turned, a pair of boots that have been candle cases, one buckled, another laced; an old rusty sword ta'en out of the town armory, with a broken hilt and chapeless; with two broken points; his horse hipped, with an old mothy saddle and stirrups of no kindred, besides possessed with the glanders and like to mose in the chine, troubled with the lampass, infected with the fashions, full of wingdalls, sped with spavins, rayed with yellows, past cure of the fives, stark spoiled with the staggers, begnawn with the bots, swayed in the back and shoulder-shotten, near-legged before and with a half-checked bit and a headstall of sheeps leather, which, being restrained to keep him from stumbling, hath been often burst, and now repaired with knots, one girth six times pieced, and a woman’s crupper of velour, which hath two letters for her name fairly set down in studs, and here and there pieced with packthread.

This quote shows many things. First, Petrucio does not care about what he is wearing and how it may affect others. By wearing this clothes he proves that on the outside he can look how he wants to look. Second, by wearing this clothes we see some of his character that may not have been shown by is first interaction with Kate. By wearing this clothes he shows that he does not care about how he looks around her which shows to his character.

Am I a lord, and have I such a lady?

Or do I dream? Or have I dreamed till now?

I do not sleep: I see, I hear, I speak.

I smell sweet savors and I feel soft things.

Upon my life, I am a lord indeed

And not a tinker, nor Christopher Sly.

Well, bring our lady hither to our sight,

And once again, a pot o' the smallest ale.

Induction Scene Two

This is not so much of a intentional disguise, but nonetheless a facade of an illusion. The Lord and brought Christopher Sly back to his home and tricked him into believing that he was rich, powerful and of noble blood. In reality, he is a rouge drunk. But this goes to show what I stated in my thesis, the clothes cannot make a man. Christopher Sly is still the same person no matter what clothes he puts on.

Basta, content thee, for I have it full.

We have not yet been seen in any house,

Nor can we be distinguished by our faces

For man or master. Then it follows thus:

Thou shalt be master, Tranio, in my stead,

Keep house and port and servants as I should.

I will some other be, some Florentine,

Some Neapolitan, or meaner man of Pisa.

'Tis hatched, and shall be so. Tranio, at once

Uncase thee. Take my colored hat and cloak.

Act 1, Scene 1 Page 9

This quote proves multiple things. First, social class does not determine intelligence. Tranio, is sly and cunning but also smart a loyal. He comes up with a plan that's better than Lucentio's, and works until Lucentio's father shows up. Two, Lucentio will do almost anything for love. Lucentio has just seen Bianca and instantly falls in love with her. And as a result, he is willing to take on a new person, Cambio a tutor to court her, another way that disguise are used to deceive.
