“'My tongue will tell of the anger of my heart, otherwise my heart, hiding it, will break...'” (4.3.82-83). Could such a fierce woman be domesticated and subjected to the obedience of her husband? In Shakespeare's comic play, the "shrew" transforms into a tame hawk. The Barbarian Shrew represents Katherine, Baptista's sharp-tongued daughter, who is transformed in unpredictable ways by an isodynamic character. Throughout the exposition, climax, and resolution, Katherine is presented as a dynamic character who undergoes changes in her values ​​as well as her behavior. Presented at the exhibition, the character of Katherine is presented as a stubborn and wild woman. She hires her sister to question her about the most favorable suitor; when she refuses to answer, she hits her unnecessarily. Additionally, when confronted by one of Bianca's suitors, Hortensio, she lashes out at him after he expresses to her that he is not interested in her. She said to him with disgust: “My goodness, sir, you will never need to be afraid. I think it's not halfway to his heart. But if that were the case, his concern should not be to comb your head with a three-legged stool, and put makeup on your face, and use you like a fool” (1.1.62-66). In addition to her wild behavior, she stubbornly refuses to obey her father's orders to stay with the suitors and leaves of her own accord. “'Why, and I hope I can go too, don't I? What, will I be fixed at times as if, for example, I didn't know what to take and what to leave? Ha!' » (1.1.104-106). However, a suitor seeking wealth from her dowry attempts to woo Katherine, but his efforts are in vain. While exchanging puns considered as insults, Petruchio, the suitor, makes an unexpected gesture and congratulates her. Despite her romantic attempt, she reacts bitterly... middle of paper ......re. So worth your stomach, for it is not a boot, and place your hands under your husband's foot: As a sign of what duty, if it pleases him, My hand is ready, may it make it easier for him task (5.2.186-195). From start to finish, Katherine contrasts dramatically and proves to be, ironically, the most domestic wife out of three. Katherine concludes the play as Petruchio's willing wife in place of the vile woman from the beginning. The massive change is due to Petruchio, who tamed the wild shrew into a domesticated hawk. Throughout the humorous play, Katherine undergoes major changes in her behavior, making her a dynamic character. As ironic as it may seem, the most vicious woman who is believed to be indomitable becomes the ideal image of a domesticated wife. Works Cited Shakespeare, William. The Taming of the Shrew.
