Act V Katherina's Speech

Katherina's famous speech at the end of the play has a big influence on the way the reader sees her. She clearly changes personalities in the play and that makes the reader feel sorry for her instead of feeling like she is a mean person. When Katherina states "My mind hath been as big as one of yours, To bandy word for word and frown for frown; But now i see our lances are but straws." This shows that she is starting to fall for Petruchio and she thinks it would be a good idea to marry him. Petruchio on the other hand is forcing her to marry him and is being a shrew.

Act IV, A Shrew is a Shrew Does

Petruchio becomes the Shrew because he gets stubborn and does not agree with other people. He becomes more of the shrew because he gets mean and nasty with the other characters. I believe that he should calm down and become himself again. He should realize that he is becoming his old self and should calm down. 

There were no medications in this time so there would be no way to calm Petruchio down. Petruchio is getting used to the big time of Baptista and Katherina so he really has to realize what he is really like
