He will wear as he wants and be only in his control. When Baptista asks him to change, he simply replies that Kate is marrying the man, not the clothes. He knows this will anger and humiliate Kate, but he is determined to tame her and be the dominant one in their relationship. Petruchio is going to make Kate into a woman other men would approve
High key lighting is used in this scene during the moment where the slaves begin to bathe themselves before being auctioned. McQueen uses this lighting to exhibit the setting they are in. The light highlights there features but does not over enhance their bodies. Rather the lighting is full but drab, in that it does not show contrast or much difference in each of the persons. This use of high fill light allows the viewer to see the area in which they have been put in, but does not provide detail.
Baptista wants Petruchio to dress properly, behave in a good manner also to be early for our marriage rather Petruchio doesn’t mind what he says and said he could do as he pleases, be here when he wants to be, on that he was
The Closing of Act Two (Scene One) Elizabeth Proctor is kneeling on the edge of a small cot in the corner of a dark room. A candle sitting on an unstable nightstand flickers and begins to snuff out. Across the room, a boy is asleep. Elizabeth folds her legs and pushes her hands together. She closes her eyes and begins to speak.
Today brides are often identifiable by their dress, however, a modern woman’s marital status is not apparent from her clothing. A Renaissance woman’s marriage, on the contrary, would be marked by her acquisition of a wardrobe reflecting her change of status from maiden to matron and her transition from her father’s household to that of her husband’s. A woman’s clothing was thus specifically associated with matrimony in Renaissance Italy, from the beginning of her marriage to its end.
We see that Kat has started to cry as she thinks the one man that is willing to marry her is not going through with it. This is a side of Kat that we haven’t seen until now and it is a surprising emotion at that. When Petruchio arrives dressed in clothing not suited for the wedding we actually see Kat begging him to change the clothes that he is wearing and put on a nice outfit for the wedding. Kat is totally embarrassed in this scene and that’s what Petruchio was trying to do.
Through his incentive, he is very determined to marry Kate even though she comes with money, marriage, and a malicious attitude. In addition, Petruchio does not care if his wife is a shrew or foul, he just asks "...if thou know one rich enough to be Petruchio's wife" (1.2.68). Not to mention, after Hortensio tells him of Kate, Petruchio only says to "...tell [him] her father's name, and tis enough" (1.2.95). Petruchio understands that Kate has a "...scolding tongue" (1.2.101) even though Hortensio warms him. Due to his incentive to cure Kate of her shrew-ish ways and to get Baptista's money.
Petruchio and Katherine are two characters in Shakespeare ’s play “Taming of the Shrew”. Petruchio was a single man with money running out looking for a rich wife. There was a situation between Katherine and her sister Bianca. Bianca couldn’t get married until Katherine did.
He would have been completely devoid of respect if he was a women, but it does not do too much to his reputation. Both Kate and Petruchio are shrews in their own ways, but only Kate is ridiculed by other people. The shrew inside of Petruchio is even more clearly shown during tailor scene in which he continually subverts Kate’s opinion. Petruchio and Kate are shown to be made for each other as they are both
In Act 2 Scene 1, Gremio helps Lucentio, Petruchio, and Tranio use disguises to get more of a chance to woo Bianca. Gremio presents Lucentio “I doubt it not, sir, but you will curse your wooing.—Neighbor, this is a gift very grateful, I am sure of it. To express the like kindness, myself, that have been more kindly beholding to you than any, freely give unto you this young scholar (presenting LUCENTIO, disguised as CAMBIO) that hath been long studying at Rheims, as cunning in Greek, Latin, and other languages as the other in music and mathematics. His name is Cambio. Pray accept his service.”
Taming of the Shrew is a dramatic comedy in which several suitors try to captivate and marry a beautiful woman named Bianca. However, the suitors stumble upon an issue; Bianca’s older sister, Kate, is not married. Bianca is only eligible for marriage if Kate is married, so the suitors set out to find Kate a man. During Taming of the Shrew, the suitors of both Kate and Bianca are dishonest and deceive the sisters using disguises and mind games which results in a breakdown of all the characters.
For example, he doesn 't get tied up with the idea of "claim," as we see by his refusal to regard Katherine as a lady of her status generally hopes to be dealt with. Or maybe, Petruchio 's treatment of Kate depends on how she acts. She needs to acquire her benefits. We see another great case of Petruchio 's eagerness to conflict with tradition in a closures legitimizing the-methods mold when he arrives late for the wedding. Undoubtedly, however, it is this correct eagerness to conflict with tradition that shields Petruchio from being a paragon for the Elizabethan man (recall, class and social stratifications were energized by people with significant influence amid Shakespeare 's chance).
Like an auctioneer standing at the block, Baptista ‘sold’ his daughter off to the highest bidder. However, whether willing or unwilling, it was certain that Bianca was to be married off eventually. Because, unlike in modern society, women were considered ‘unfit’ to live independently and forced into marriages, as shown especially in Kate’s ‘taming’ by Petruchio. Because the society was entirely male-driven, both sisters “have no option but marriage and will be utterly dependent on whatever husband they can get” (Adney
In the ending scene of the play, Kate has become a paragon for women of the time. Evidently, when a shrew ceases to be one, other women must bear the title. Petruchio tells Katherina to throw her hat on the ground, and she complies. Bianca calls the exchange foolish duty, and, in Act IV scene II, Lucentio (her husband) replies, “I would your duty were as foolish too”.
Petruchio’s servants Grumio and Curtis were very small characters, but were symbols of the wealthy and how the wealthy acted. If you were wealthy during this time period, you had a servant, being wealthy did not necessarily mean that you had to abuse your servants, or treat them terribly, it depended on how they wanted people to see them. Petruchio wanted to present himself as wealthy, confident, and proud, however, he did not want people to know that he was self-centered, and that he was a gold-digger. “Let’s each one send unto his wife, And he whose wife is most obedient To come at first when he doth send for her Shall win the wager which we will propose” (Act 5, Scene 2). Petruchio only wanted money, he got paid to marry Katherine, and knew he would be able to tame her, therefore he bet money with the other men at the end to see who's wife was most tamed.
