Taming of the Shrew was one of Shakespeare’s earliest comedies. It was like a romantic comedy. It is centered on marriage, and how life is after marriage.
Shakespeare uses many different themes in the play. He has the themes transformation, marriage, family, and education. Transformation is like how you change from being a boy to a young man, or how everything changes around you, not necessarily the permanent change, actually a permanent change would be kind of rare. Marriage, is that status between then man and the woman. How the man ranks higher than the women, and how the women isn’t anything but a person that stays home. Family, is important because, well family is always important in any situation. Not only the wife and husband relationship, but the father-daughter, and mother-son’s relationships between each other. Education plays a pretty big role in the play. Education is another theme in the play, you learn formally in a classroom setting, but also, you learn life lessons. In The Taming of the Shrew Shakespeare makes it to where someone does something intentionally to get the other person in trouble, cause him to understand why he should of shouldn’t have done that certain thing.
