Apparently this didn’t post on Saturday when I hit publish.  I apologize that I only realized this now.  We have learned that Petruchio’s behavior towards Kate is because of his plan to tame her.  It has been successful as well.  Lucentio married Bianca, but his scheme was uncovered.  Hortensio married a widow.  At the end of the play, we learn that Kate is now the most obedient wife.  This raises some interesting questions. Do you think that Petruchio used the right methods to tame Kate?  What kind of punishment do you think that Lucentio will receive for his scheme?  Why is Kate the most loyal wife now?  Is it because of fear or because she learned loyalty and values from Petruchio?
