Abstract
The Taming of the Shrew is a comedy that examines courtship, marriage, and gender roles. The spirited and outspoken Katherina is pursued by Petruchio, who attempts to “tame” her through psychological games and social performance. Meanwhile, her sister Bianca’s suitors compete for her affection through disguises and deception. The play blends humour with controversy, inviting debate about power, identity, and the expectations placed on men and women in relationships.
