Katharina

dominance was. The characteristics attributes of Katarina have subjected her to some more than brutal treatment as she refuses to be silent in her opinion, obedience and a being a well-mannered wife that her husband demands. I believe that the reason Katharina puts up a

changing nature of Katharina from violent and distraught to a more reasonable person as a result of her encounter with Petruchio. The cause of Katharina’s change is mainly due to Petruchio’s behaviour as he acts more outrageous than her through the notion of ‘battle of the sexes’ as highlighted through the use of witty banter and sexual innuendo particularly in the dialogue: KATHARINA, “Where did you study all this goodly speech?” PETRUCHIO, “It is extempore, from my mother-wit.” KATHARINA, “A witty mother

Kate in William Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew Katharina or Kate, the shrew of William Shakespeare's The Taming Of The Shrew is sharp-tongued, quick-tempered, and prone to violence and violent outbursts, especially to anyone who tries to win her love. This is shown from the beginning in Act One with the scene among Hortensio and Gremio and her. When Gremio proclaims her "too rough"

forces her hand in marriage and she doesn’t even get a say in it. Her father’s word counts more than hers. Also, when Katharina fell off her horse in Act IV Scene I, Petruchio does nothing to help her and blames the servant. Petruchio beats up the servant while Katharina is stuck in the mud under a horse. This is an example of the extremity that

has two daughters: Katharina, who is a terror, and Bianca, who is all things sweet and lovely. Bianca has three suitors; Lucentio, Gremio and Hortensio. However, much like in Ten Things I Hate About You, Baptista announces that Bianca may not marry until Katherina is wed. None of the men in town are willing to marry Katherina, so Bianca remains unwed. Along comes Petruchio, an acquaintance of Hortensio, seeking a wealthy wife. Hortensio directs Petruchio's attention to Katharina. Petruchio accepts

genders. In the taming of the Shrew, William Shakespeare expresses the Elizabethan views of oppressive gender roles and the expectations of the submissive behavior of women. This play is about a man named Petruchio who is trying to tame a “shrew” Katharina .The play is misogynistic, which is apparent through the constant need for Petruchio to tame the shrew, Katherina, women’s dependence on men, and the ownership of women in the play. The leaps made by women towards equal rights and freedoms currently

counterparts. It is most prevalent in the way that fortune-seeking Petruchio goes about taming his aggressive and sharp-tongued wife Katharina. By examining Petruchio’s actions and Katharina’s reactions towards his efforts at taming her, once can see that the play is indeed sexist. Throughout the play, Petruchio’s behavior illustrates his chauvinistic mindset to force Katharina into obedience. After the wedding ceremony, Petruchio wants to head home with Kate while she disagrees and he says “I will be master

Luther married Katharina von Bora in 1525. Katharina was an ex-nun who, after hearing about the reformation movement led by Martin Luther, escaped her convent with 11 other nuns. She ended up in Wittenburg, and it was there that she met Martin Luther. By that time, both Luther, who was a monk, and Katharina denounced their vows of a monk/nun. The two married in 1525, when she was 26 and Luther was 42 (Erickson). By all accounts, Luther and Katharina had a warm, happy, loving marriage

Heinrich Böll uses his novel, The Lost Honour of Katharina Blum, to attack modern journalistic ethics as well as the values of contemporary Germany. The structure of this novel is important to conveying his message. He uses a police report format, differences in chapter lengths, narrator or author intervention, a subtitle, and the extensive use of the 'puddle' metaphor. All these things contribute towards the message in the text. The puddle metaphor is the most significant device used in the structure

Shakespeare, it depicts a woman so shrew-like that no one will ‘tame’ her. The prize within the play that everyone is fighting for supremacy for is Bianca, Katharina’s younger sister. Their father, Baptista has ruled that Bianca is not to wed until Katharina does. From this, two men set up a deal to make a man by the name of Petruchio marry Katarina in order to have her darling sister, Bianca. The first theme to be discussed within this text is love. Within both the movie and text, love is a major
