“My falcon now is sharp and passing empty” - He is referring to Kate. ]]> 2023-03-15 06:20:29 UTC https://padlet.com/seru15/nvmf597ma4prlkj6/wish/2517261677 One example of metaphor in The Taming of the Shrew is when Petruchio draws comparisons between falconry and the way he treats his new wife, Katherine. In these metaphors, Katherine is a lot like the falcons, which are stubborn but also valuable. https://padlet.com/seru15/nvmf597ma4prlkj6/wish/2517262854 2023-03-15 06:21:55 UTC https://padlet.com/seru15/nvmf597ma4prlkj6/wish/2517262854 Pun https://padlet.com/seru15/nvmf597ma4prlkj6/wish/2517263083  “I did but tell her she mistook her frets.”
“Frets, call you these? . . . I’ll fume.”
Frets as in guitar frets, and frets as in fretting or stressing about something
— Hortensio (2.1.149-152)

A character like this at the time would have been added purely for laughs, as pantaloons were joke characters.]]> 2023-03-15 06:23:40 UTC https://padlet.com/seru15/nvmf597ma4prlkj6/wish/2517264197 Similie https://padlet.com/seru15/nvmf597ma4prlkj6/wish/2517264340 Petruchio says Kate looks as clear as morning roses newly washed with dew.

On their wedding day petruchio shows up drunk and acts a fool]]> 2023-03-15 06:24:12 UTC https://padlet.com/seru15/nvmf597ma4prlkj6/wish/2517264630 Act 2 scene 1 https://padlet.com/seru15/nvmf597ma4prlkj6/wish/2517265182 " 'Twas a commodity lay fretting by you, 
'Twill bring you gain, or perish on the seas."

Tranio uses a metaphor comparing the unmarried Katherina to a perishable commodity whose value declines with time. He further says that if this marriage doesn't work she'll be as worthless as a ship's cargo lost at sea.]]> 2023-03-15 06:24:53 UTC https://padlet.com/seru15/nvmf597ma4prlkj6/wish/2517265182 Antagonist https://padlet.com/seru15/nvmf597ma4prlkj6/wish/2517269084 Some people believe that Kate might be the antagonist of this play, as she demonstrates villainous and difficult  behavior in the beginning of the play. However, the character of Kate is not powerful enough to make her an antagonist of the whole play. We can assume Petruchio as an antagonist too. As he manipulates and mentally tortures Kate to tame her.
Though some argue there is no antagonist

So I to her, and so she yields to me. ( Act-II, Scene-1, Line, 129)
ii. She eat no meat to-day, nor none shall eat. (Act-IV, Scene-I, Line, 133)

In the first example, the vowel sound /o/ is repeated four times. 

Moreover, the sound /i/ is repeated in the words ‘she’, ‘yields’, and ‘me’. In the second example, the sound /i/ is repeated making the lines musical.

]]> 2023-03-15 07:31:55 UTC https://padlet.com/seru15/nvmf597ma4prlkj6/wish/2517331634 Conflict: The major conflict in the play occurs between Katherine and Petruchio. He wants to tame this unruly lady at all costs. This is a hard task for him to accomplish. She resists a lot in the beginning but with the passage of time surrenders to the efforts of Petruchio. This conflict represents the prevailing ideas of male dominance and female weakness in society https://padlet.com/seru15/nvmf597ma4prlkj6/wish/2517333093 2023-03-15 07:33:26 UTC https://padlet.com/seru15/nvmf597ma4prlkj6/wish/2517333093 Dramatic Irony: https://padlet.com/seru15/nvmf597ma4prlkj6/wish/2517335669 Dramatic Irony is used when Bianca and her father do not know about the reality of Cambio and why he intends to be the tutor of Bianca. However, the audience and some other characters know the reality. In dramatic irony, the audience’s knowledge is more than the characters themselves. Kate’s speech, in the last act, preaching how to be submissive towards their husband is also full of irony. The audience knows the situation in which she has to pass through, and internally she is not convinced of what she says]]> 2023-03-15 07:36:00 UTC https://padlet.com/seru15/nvmf597ma4prlkj6/wish/2517335669
