Taming the shrew

In a Rom-Com characters and staging base be very authorized as an earshot will usually expect a primary(prenominal) and sub plot. In act 5 scene 2 this is shown by the feature that the ii main characters Petruichio and Katrina, the two main sub-characters Bianca and Lucientio and two of the sub characters Hortensio and the Widow-who is a new character- and all main characters from both plots argon in one room,-which shows the brilliance of this scene. -talking and celebrating. The women and then leave which shows that the men are now the most important characters of the moment.The limelight then shifts to each man in turn. Petruichio, Hortensio, Lucientio, and Baptista, before contemptible on to the servants. When the women return, the limelight brings Katrinas character to centre stage, whilst also bringing Biancas and the Widows attaint to light. The way Shakespeare has structured the play is so that that the focus of the audience is neer on one person or persons for a ny sustained total of time. This allows the audience t experience the play from multiple characters point of view.This is make to illustrate how different male persons and female are as social groups Shakespeare then uses Katrina as a pivotal character to bring the male and female groups together. There are various themes throughout the play there was save two main themes, being marriage and appearance versus reality, both of which are split into several sub-themes. The sub-themes for marriage include Language-being the frequent use of intimate innuendos such as the common use of the words head, horn and back end-and consummation. shown when Petruichio asks Katrina to bed. The sub-theme for appearance versus reality block out and deception, the main plot of this theme is disguise of language and appearance- Petruichio disguises his language to tame Katrina, and Lucientio and Tranio use physical disguises so that Lucientio can woo Bianca. The end of the play is quite interestin g as Shakespeare sexual innuendos and puns to lighten the mood and to create a merry atmosphere.Read this Puns in the ImportanceThere is also the mentioning of hunting O sir, Lucientio slipped me like his greyhound, Which runs himself and catches for his professional person which is used as an analogy for wooing the women as well as the represent, Lets each one send onto his wife, and he whose wife is most submissive to come at first when he doth send for her shall win the trifle which we will propose that ends in the most unexpected outcome When the wager is resolved Katrina begins her monologue which includes similes twinned with alliteration.It blots thy beauty as frosts do scrap the meads-which means frowning can spoil a womans beauty however also uses alliteration to make the similes effect more profound-as well as lists, repetition, Thy husband is thy lord, thy life thy keeper, thy head thy sovereign, one that cares for us commands, Come, come, you froward and unable worms and rhetorical questions. What is she but a foul contending rebel and graceless two-timer to her loving lord? The language of the speech dampens the mood, which is then lifted by light jesting at the end. In conclusion I would differentiate that Taming the Shrew fits with most Rom-Coms but does however differ in legion(predicate) ways the main discrepancies are the problem of not knowing whether the main couple is happy or not, as well as the world of a new character in the final scene and the fact that the final speech which is usually given by a male and is normally inviting and merry not witty, cynical, sarcastic and critical.
