this quote is misogynistic because Gremio refers to Katherine as "the devil" for simply being outspoken & having quick wit, proving that he holds prejudice against outspoken women.

This quote proves to be misogynistic because Hortensio calls Katherine intolerable just beacause she speaks her mind. This quote shows how back then, a woman speaking her mind or stating her opinion was seen as innapropriate and made them look bad leading to misogynistic comments.

Baptista: "After my death, the one half of my lands, / And, in possession, twenty thousand crowns" (2.1.127-129).

This quote proves to be misogynistic because it shows the principles upon marriage at this time. Commonly, marriage was solely based on benefits for the wife;s father and the husband, and the women's opinion or desires were not involved at all. This shows the prejudice against women as they were not given a choice in something that would fully affect their future.

"And woo her with some spirit when she comes! / say that she rail, why then I'll tell her plain / she sings as sweetly as a nightingale. / ... When I shall ask the banns, and when be married. / but here she comes -"

This quote is problematic because Petruchio is being assumptive in thinking that he can 'woo' Katherine by never letting her win an argument. That mindset leads us through a six page tirade between Petruchio and Katherine, where all either establishes is determination to triumph over the other in the moment. And I'm sure there's more to come.

This quote can be problematic because Petruchio is saying that Katherine is now in his possession. Implying that he owns her now that they are married. Of course this was a normal attitude to have about a women in the time the play is set, but in todays world this passage can be very controversial.

This quote comes from Katherine's monologue where we hear her stance of being a wife to Petruchio. This quote is problematic because it is a hyperbole saying to give all obedience to the husband. Katherine is saying she would physically harm herself if that meant showing obedience to Petruchio. It also shows how much change Katherine underwent. Petruchio tamed her and changed her from her witty self to an obedient and conventional wife. Back then Katherine's individualistic behavior was seen as crazy so being tamed was the "normal." Today this can be seen as very misogynistic.

In Petruchio's problematic speech, he compares his plan of taming Katherine to domesticating a wild falcon. He explains that Katherine will be the perfect wife only if she learns to suppress her belligerent dispositions and submit to his wishes. Petruchio further explains that there is a correct and incorrect way for women to act in society, which can be viewed as very misogynistic by today's standards. Women today are encouraged to speak their minds and even leave or divorce their prejudiced husbands.
