Kiss Me Kate embellishes the story of the Taming of the Shrew with musical dance numbers and tension between characters that would be entirely lost in any normal production. Though much of the tension – namely Lilli and Fred's, who play Kate and Petruchio – is entirely the product of artistic license, the actors serve as foils to their characters. Lilli's justified anger at being misguided and perhaps even betrayed validates her character's anger at men in general, reminding audiences that there are plenty of experiences that could have led to Kate's hatred of the opposite sex. Similarly, Lois Lane's inexperience and naivety coupled with her extreme capacity for loving, as pointed out by her relationship with Bill Calhoun, parallels her character, Bianca. Lois naively contemplates her boyfriend's gambling problem assuming there will be resolution simply because of their love.

Without realizing it until he had been humiliated, Pete acted in the same way in hopes of being accepted by Maybelle that Richard did to him. He seemed to believe that in acting out of unquestioning devotion, he would achieve the same from her, and when she rejected him, out of anger and disappointment, he did the same to the reflection of himself. The characterization of Richard and his change in personality, and the irony of Pete’s unhappy ending portray how people are cruel to those who exhibit their own weaknesses. This also supports the theme of “treat people how you wish to be treated” because someone on both the giving and receiving sides of the spectrum of one-sided admiration can end up in the worst predicament once they lose not only their illusion of happiness, but also the respect they had already been
