But Abbey you tried to hard to gget it to fit. Like Shaun said Kate is the main character in this story, not Bianca. So there it does not work. In a way there is a connection between how in both stories the children only have one parent, but that is irrelevant. -Kody I can see where Abbey is coming from to relate Cinderella to The Taaming of the Shrew.

I realize it is a stretch, but I love Cinderella, and I saw where it fit, and I didn't really look at the whole picture. haha. You guys are right though, there are only some instances where it does fit, but not many. Thanks for going with me even though it wasn't very good. -Abbey haha.

Bianca and Cinderella are both mild-mannered and obedient, and Katherine, like the stepsisters, is jealous of her sister and picks on her constantly. But other aspects keep me from agreeing with you completely, Abbey. Bianca is hidden out of good intentions, unlike Cinderella. Also Cinderella never had any suitors, except the Prince, and she also had to pretend to be something she was not in for attention, whereas Bianca can be herself and the guys fall head over heels for her. In Katherine's case, she doesn't want to be married. That is why she is so mean and aggressive to anyone who even speaks of men around her. The stepsisters in Cinderella want to get married and compete with each other for the Prince's attention. Although there are parallels to Katherine and the stepsisters behaviors, their motives are very different. -Paula Comparing “Taming of the Shrew” to “Cinderella” is a bit of a stretch but I see where you’re coming from.

Bianca being locked away by her father and disliked by her sister are similar to parts of Cinderella, but there are many plot and the theme differences between the two. First of all, Katherine is more of the main character than Bianca is, and the goal of the play is to get her married. Lucentio's love for Bianca is more of a motive for the plot to continue than the actual goal. Also, as much as Katherine is put down and insulted by everyone around her, the audience can't help but feel bad for her situation because she is being forced into something that she does not want to do. -Ditz I think that The Taming of the Shrew could relate to Cinderella, as Abbey says, but only certain aspects of it.
