Roles of women in Shakespeares Taming of the shrew
"The Taming of the Shrew" is a great example of Shakespears use of women. ... In Shakespeares, "The Taming of the Shrew" the relationship between the sisters Katherine and Bianca appears to be strained with rampant jealousy. ... In twisted parallel roles, they take turns being demure and hag-like. ... Kate and Bianca trade roles at this time and the dainty, controlled sister is Kate. ... Katherine is called a "shrew" yet again by the Widow and Bianca flirts openly with Petruccio. The three new brides leave the dining table and make for the sitting room with the other women. ... During this entire play the label of "shrew" is misplaced with dear Kate and should be rightfully placed in the lap of Bianca. Kate brings out the two women and scolds them while maintaining her own dignity and elegant grace.
