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.
