He states that Bianca is suitable to be a wife because of her obedience and silence towards her father. Unfortunately for Lucentio, Bianca later becomes more aggressive. At this moment the reader can conclude that he will not focus on studying, for he will try to woo Bianca using her submissiveness to his advantage. ]]> 2017-05-21 23:13:02 UTC https://padlet.com/3106192/s745i3ohb7je/wish/173021373 3106192 https://padlet.com/3106192/s745i3ohb7je/wish/173022433 This short speech made by Petruchio is made to show off his assertiveness towards women and also presents his taming skills. He states in this passage that men can measure their masculinity through their hierarchical relationships with their wives. In other words, it means if a man can not contain his wife, he is more feminine than masculine. The author added this speech into the play because it shows how men were supposed to be the more powerful person in relationships. It was bad to not be able to be more dominant than your wife. Shakespeare uses imagery to compare all his manly and daring experiences to controlling a woman in a relationship.]]> 2017-05-21 23:28:04 UTC https://padlet.com/3106192/s745i3ohb7je/wish/173022433 3106192 https://padlet.com/3106192/s745i3ohb7je/wish/173024271 Near the end of the play Petruchio decides to hold a competitions between all the men's spouses. This competitions consists of the wife's competing to be the most obedient. Petruchio confidently adds a wager on his wife that she'll win. This shows how the men just use the women as some sort of game to get some money, like a piggy bank or ATM. This part of the scene shows how men and society tend to use women in relationships. This quote gives a very negative view on women of the time, showing how they can be used by men. ]]> 2017-05-21 23:51:27 UTC https://padlet.com/3106192/s745i3ohb7je/wish/173024271 3106192 https://padlet.com/3106192/s745i3ohb7je/wish/173027751 When all the men come to Baptista's house, Petruchio tries to get Kate to agree to marry him. They excuse themselves from the main conversation and Petruchio begins to convince her. They argue and Kate clearly does not want to marry him. Being the more important person as a man, Petruchio lies and tells Baptista that Kate loves him and wants to marry him. This shows that men can manipulate women to get them to agree or do stuff they don't want to do. Because of this controlling of women, Petruchio and Kate will have a bad relationship and it may end in a divorce. This shows that having power over women is not a good thing to have, especially in the long run.]]> 2017-05-22 00:31:53 UTC https://padlet.com/3106192/s745i3ohb7je/wish/173027751
