Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Taming of the Shrew is perhaps one of Shakespeare's most controversial plays by modern standards. Hinging on the courtship between the arrogant Petruchio and the "shrew" of the title Katherina, it is unclear whether Shakespeare's blatantly misogynistic themes were in earnest or tongue in cheek. The charming and tender Bianca is forbidden to marry until her elder sister, Katherine is spoken for. Bianca's suitors enlist Petruchio to woo Katherina for her dowry. Petruchio embarks on his own brand of psychological torture and in so doing manages to "tame" the stubborn Katherine who morphs into the faultless submissive wife.

This book was released on 2018-04-26 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Taming of the Shrew is a comedy by William Shakespeare. It was one of his earlier plays, believed to have been written between 1590 and 1594. The play begins with a framing device in which a drunkard is deceived into thinking he is a nobleman who then watches the "play" itself, which depicts a nobleman, Petruchio, who marries an outspoken, intelligent, and bad-tempered shrew named Katherina. Petruchio manipulates and "tames" her until she is obedient to his will. The main subplot features the courting of Katherina's more conventional sister Bianca by numerous suitors.

Book excerpt: Like many of Shakespeare's plays, the origins of The Taming of the Shrew are difficult to ascertain. The play as we have it today comes from the First Folio of 1623. However, an earlier version of the play, entitled The Taming of a Shrew, was published in 1594. Many scholars have debated the relationship between the 1594 play and the more familiar work of 1623. Some argue that the two plays-A Shrewand The Shrew-are entirely different and should be treated as such. Others maintain that A Shrew is an earlier version of Shakespeare's play, or perhaps "derived from a common original." (Bevington, David, Kastan, David Scott, ed., Four Comedies, 164). Another common view is that A Shrew is adapted from Shakespeare's original.This confusion over the text of The Shrew illustrates the extent to which the play is embroiled in an Elizabethan cultural debate over a woman's domestic duties. Aside from the two extent versions of the play, other sources, such as A Merry Jest of a Shrewd and Curst Wife Lapped in Morel's Skin, for her Good Behavior, depict similar battles of the sexes, pitting a forthright and problematic wife against a clever and cruel husband. While Shakespeare's play is the only product of the debate over "shrewishness" that is commonly read today, it is important to keep this context in mind as you read. Also, Shakespeare's play, though it contains many misogynistic characteristics by today's standards, is far less misogynistic than A Merry Jest and other "shrew" literature of the late fifteenth century.
