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?

My quote is “What am I, sir! nay, what are you, sir? O immortal
gods! O fine villain! A silken doublet! a velvet
hose! a scarlet cloak! and a copatain hat! O, I
am undone! I am undone! while I play the good
husband at home, my son and my servant spend all at
the university.”

I picked this quote becuase I thought it was ironic how Petruchio accused all these people of being villians and imposters. Meanwhile, he is trying to woo Kate for her money and acting like somebody else. At least thats what we thought, but he seems to have fallen for Kate even though she is a jerk. By now, Many of the imposters “costumes” have diteriated and they have been revealed. My questions to you are

What is blue but smells like red paint!?? haha jk

Now. The real questions.

Do you think what Petruchio went through to change Kate was worth it?? Do you think Kate’s transformation was permenate. Or could it possibly be reversed? What do you think Kate would do, if she found out Petruchio’s Initial reason to get with kate?

Can you believe it, it’s actually our last blog!!! I will definitely miss this class, thanks for making this the best school year ever!!! :)

For our last blog I want to pick our four main characters, let’s start with Demetrius.

We all know that Demetrius is under a spell when he falls in love with Helena, but do you think that he would come to love Helena over time on his own? The feeling that he describes being a man who loves his favorite food, but hates it when he gets sick and then loves it again when he recovers, do you think that he actually feels that way about Helena, or does is the feeling because of the love spell?

For Lysander: Do you think that Demetrius and Lysander would have been great friends if it were not for the rivalry between them over Hermia, (if the story continued)?

For Hermia: She loves Lysander and wants to be with him forever, but her jealousy gets in the way earlier when he loves Helena, if she was in Helena’s place from the beginning do you think that she would have reacted the same way as Helena did when Lysander and Demetrius were fighting over her, would she have thought they were making fun of her?

For Helena: When Helena finally gets Demetrius she explains it as though she found a lost diamond and claimed it but is afraid that someone else will come and claim that its theirs. She symbolizes herself as the person who found the lost diamond and Hermia as the antagonist who wants to claim the diamond because if belongs to her. What is your opinion on Helena is she being fair in summarizing Hermia in that way? What is your opinion on Helena as of the end of the story?

In the final section of the story we see that Pertrucio was acting like a lunatic because that is how he believes he will tame Kate. We see that in the end he helped out Kate more than any of the others helped out their wives. She is now more obedient than the other wives. This reminds me of the Ugly Duckling. I know it is a children’s story and is kind of weak but it just sticks out in my mind. In the Ugly Duckling there is this black little duck among these beautiful yellow ducks. He is made fun of and nobody wants to be around him. That is Kate, she was ugly to people and nobody wanted her hand in marriage. As time went on the duckling grew and matured into a beautiful swan while his brothers and sisters were just plain ducks. Pertucio is the time and aging. He is what changes Kate like the time changes the duckling. The Swan was more beautiful than the ducks and is loved. That is Kate when she is tamed. She is polite and more obedient than her sister and the widow.

So my question for you is, do you think that Petrucio had this planned all the time or did he really want to marry for the money and this just popped into his head? Do you think that he is going to be fair to her and do you think they are actually in love?

Thank you

This time, I’m going to follow Rosalind. She becomes madly in love with Orlando and she still barely knows him. But more importantly, Rosalind really digs herself a hole in the last potion of this book. She is her normal self and she says that Ganymede will marry Phoebe, but Ganymede is actually Rosalind. Rosalind (as Ganymede) wants to continue to with her wooing sessions with Orlando, even though he is tired of trying to get over Rosalind by wooing a man. I though this part of the book was pretty confusing because Rosalind makes a whole bunch of promises.

On the day of the weddings, Rosalind is to marry Orlando, Touchstone is to marry Audrey, Oliver is to marry Celia, and Phoebe is to marry Ganymede. If Phoebe choses not to marry Ganymede, she will marry Silvius. Everybody realizes that Ganymede looks a lot like Rosalind and they draw the conclusions that he is Rosalind. So, Phoebe ends up marrying Silvius. The four couples get married all together in one ceremony. All is well and everyone is happy, especially since there is peace with Duke Frederick and Jaques.

First, why do you think Rosalind thought she could pull off being Ganymede and herself? She made promises that were impossible to keep, like being two people at one time.

Also, it doesn’t seem like anyone is mad at Rosalind for lying and being deceitful. Why do you think this is?
