Petruchio's Effect On Katharina

Peter got so angry. Brothers, though. Not enemies, not friends, but brothers-able to live in the same house” (Card 32). Before Ender left to battle school Peter was a type of person that got really angry and would fight a lot physically with Ender, just like a bully. This text shows and reveals Peters and Enders relationship they had with each other and how they were with each other. Ender reveals that Peter was a bully to him and was dangerous to him, however he loved him very much just like real brothers. In the text when Ender says, “brothers-able to live in the same house, it is kind of ironic because in the next chapter Graff comes and takes Ender away from his home and Peter to battle school. From this point on, this is where Peter’s character and attitude totally shifts into a strategic mindset and Peter becomes more independent, peaceful and unaggressive which was unusual coming from him. Valentine starts to notice this change in Peter and gets very skeptical on why he's become this person when Ender left. “Still, it was good. Peter never fought anymore. Never bullied. Got along well with everybody. It was a new Peter. Everyone believed it. Father and Mother said it, so often it made Valentine want to scream at them” (Card

Peter’s whole plan is dependent on being able to influence people through writing, and without Valentine, he would not be able to accomplish that. Peter’s narrow minded methods to control people are not effective enough to make his plan successful, and he needs Valentine if he has any hopes of making a difference, which prompts her call to adventure. In addition, Valentine’s growth as a hero is further demonstrated through her refusal of the call in the quote, “‘Peter, you’re twelve years old. I’m ten. They have a word for people our age. They call us children, and they treat us like mice.’ ‘But we don’t think like other children, do we, Val?’” (Card, 127). Based on the text, we can infer that Valentine feels she won’t be able to influence adults because she is a child, and adults think that children aren’t intelligent and mature enough to understand political matters. This quotation is important because it shows Valentine’s insecurity in her abilities to persuade. However, this fear is crucial to Valentine’s development as a hero. She needed

Peter was depressed about his situation and was very shy. That was until Anne brought some joy in his life. She talked to him constantly and enjoyed his company, as he enjoyed hers. The first connection between Peter and Anne is when they first moved in. Peter got a pocket knife and cut out the yellow Star of David and threw it in a fire. Anne cut hers out too but couldn't throw it in. She still held onto it even though the Nazi's forced them to wear it. This shows that she still cares about her religion, even though it was used against her. She said, "It's funny, I can't throw mine away. I don't know why." Peter was confused at first but just went along with it. Eventually, their hatred turned into passion and that turned into love. Sadly they'd die before they would get

Petruchio wears the psychological mask of a guy who only has eyes for money. He makes his mask clear to the reader when he tells Hortensio to “wife wealthily” adding “you don’t know the power of gold.” after being told about Katherina’s bad behavior, not to mention her temper. It appears that Petruchio marries Kate for her money, but immediately starts to “kill her with kindness”. He begins going so by depriving her of food and sleep because he claims that neither the food from the kitchen nor the bed is good enough for her. Petruchio puts on a show of bad temper towards his servants for every fault, showing Kate what it is like to live with a bad-tempered person. For the first time in her life, Kate finds herself trying to get someone else to control their anger. Petruchio also shows Kate that she will get the things she wants when she learns to agree with what her husband says. By treating Kate in this manner, Petruchio seems cruel, but there is a reason for it. If he were truly interested only in money, he could have left Kate at home and gone out on his own. In the end, his efforts to improve his wife have worked. He improves Kate’s life, so that she does not continue to live an unhappy life. Because of Petruchio, Katherina the shrew is happily married in the end, and comes to be a good example to

“What, in the midst of the street? / … / No, sir God forbid, be ashamed to kiss.” (v, ii, line 148, 149, page 205). Again, she is threatened with having to return home instead of joining in the festivities, and Kate gives Petruchio a kiss. This obedient kiss may indicate Petruchio’s power over her, but it was clear to Kate that if she did not give him the kiss he asked for, she would not have been allowed to proceed to the wedding feast. Kate is smart and cunning and she manipulated his yearn for her tameness in order to do everything that she wants to while making him happy and pleased.

The actions in the play and the movie are notably different in the end. In the beginning of the play and movie Anne and peter did not react to one another at all but Anne wanted to get peter in his comfort zone. Then Anne and Peter would argue and fight over stupid stuff. Also they called each other names. Like when Peter called Anne

Since Peter desperately wanted his freedom, he attempted to get it back through any means, rational or irrational; which his parents realize after he has done so: "'Wendy (Peter's sister) and Peter aren't in their rooms,' said his (George's, Peter's father) wife. 'No,' he said. 'They've broken into the

To begin with, Anne and Peter’s personalities have many similarities and differences. Anne is very outgoing, talkative, and optimistic.On page 728 Anne is talking to Mr.Dussel and in their conversation about allergies she says, “How dreadful. You must be terribly lonely”. If Anne was outgoing she probably wouldn't have had the courage to talk to Mr.Dussel like that, or at all. On the other hand, Peter's personality is quiet, respectful, and more reserved than Anne’s. When Anne gave Peter a present for Mousci, he said

Peter changes a lot during the whole story. At the start of the book peter is a reckless boy that is always getting into trouble and never listens to the directions. Peter and his class are doing and plant project where they have to bring in ingredients for the plant to grow. Peter got something things that were rather different from everyone else.“I brought in cat litter (used), soda and a little bit of maple syrup.” (26) He brought this in even though Mr. Terupt told them not to bring in something that would stink up the classroom. Peter did not obey the rules Mr. Terupt had given them. Peter always

The external Peter is in a state of repression. He has so much pent up love, or at least infatuation or obsession, with Clarissa, causing him to be in a constant reel of memories and fantasies. In the passage after returning to his hotel room and finding that he has received a letter from Clarissa, and he instantly dives into this inner mania thinking of all the reasons why she wrote him and what she was thinking as she wrote him. Within a couple moments he is back reliving memories of “something he had once said-how they would change the world if she married him…”(Woolf, 155). And even later on in the passage, we find him also thinking about the great life he could have with Daisy, wondering “Suppose they did marry? For him it would be all very well, but what about her?” (157). But even as his mind swirls with all these fantasies and scenarios, externally he shows nothing. He was a smooth gentleman, attractive to women, who was always reading a book and even had a suave way of knocking ashes out of his pipe (156). He repressed all his desires for

The intensity in our story develops when our narrator discovers she really doesn’t love Peter. It’s when he asks her if she fancy’s the waiter (151), when she understands, at that moment she does not love him. Here is when she falls out of love in Sarajevo. It is because our narrator has a certain abusive struggle from Peter, that she seems to change her mind about him in such an instance. But through out the story she doesn’t seem to mind the way he mentally abuses her, how he’s always putting her down, and she doesn’t seem to understand that he still thinks of his wife but is practically with her for the fact she’s a good “LAY”. Her constant thought of Mrs. Piper, Peter’s wife, although she never physically appears in the story, she seems to always be present in her and his mind, making it hard for her to be fully with her lover (Peter) and in this way further extend her fantasious love relationship. She seems to be in denial about what truly is going on, and how she wants to make this work, when in deed she’s only in it for the grade, but she doesn’t want to

The most apparent, from the beginning, is the emphasis of youthfulness. Peter is the main embodiment of this theme, given he does not physically age. From the beginning, his role was that to entice Wendy and her siblings to journey with him to Never-never land.

Peter is quiet and a shy boy. He has many duties chopping wood, fetching vegetables and potatoes from downstairs, and looking out for his cat. Anne thought he was boring and awkward. She later thought different and in up falling in love with him after she found him as a decent boy.

Towards the beginning of the play, Peter and Anne have a teasing and kind of playful relationship. They don’t totally like each other, but they’re also very different. Anne is closer to her father than anyone else, but she doesn’t really enjoy her mother. Anne and Margot are fairly close, but Anne seems pretty jealous of Margot and her looks. Mrs. and Mr. Van Daan seem kind of rude to her.
