Gremio’s report describes Petruchio’s rude and abusive behavior at the wedding, including refusing to attend the supper and insisting on taking Katherine away. He goes to extreme lengths to impose his mastery on Kate, keeping her tired and hungry for some time after their marriage. Petruchio also insists on framing her.

At the wedding reception, Petruchio declares the wedding feast shall take place but without the bride and groom. Kate, furious, demands they stay, but Petruchio will not hear of it. Gremio returns, shocked by what he witnessed at the wedding and claiming that Petruchio is even more disagreeable than Kate. He describes his inappropriate behavior, such as knocking down the priest, threw wine in the sexton’s face, and kissing Kate so hard that the smack echoed throughout the church.

Petruchio’s act continues during the couple’s early days of marriage, making life fairly miserable for Kate while also seeing the light. He arrives late, dressed in intolerable clothing, and takes Katherine away before the wedding feast. Petruchio negotiates marriage terms with Baptista and has a stormy meeting with Katherine, after which he assures Baptista that the two have agreed to marry.

On Sunday, outside Baptista’s house, everyone gathers for the wedding of Kate and Petruchio. The groom is late, and Baptista begins to worry.

What is Petruchio’s main incentive to marry?

Petruchio is surprised to find he wants to marry for love, not money. Petruchio is not selfish. He sees that Katherine is more than just a shrew. He sees beyond the surface (unlike Lucentio, who falls in love with Bianca based on what he sees) and knows that her behavior is a mask, a tough exterior to hide her desire to be loved and valued. Petruchio is also attracted to Kate’s spirit and non-conventional nature. When he gets what he wants, he helps Kate develop. He thinks Kate will complement him well when she can be brought out. One reason Petruchio is likeable is that he ignores social rules, especially when he helps Kate become less shrewish. He doesn’t believe in birthright. He treats Katherine as she should be treated. Petruchio treats Kate based on how she acts. She has to work for her privileges. We see another example of Petruchio’s willingness to go against convention when he arrives late for the wedding. However, Petruchio’s willingness to go against convention keeps him from being a paragon for the Elizabethan man. Class and social stratification were encouraged by those in power during Shakespeare’s time. Most people who saw the plays would have seen Petruchio as a hero. But those in power would have been worried about some of his behaviour. Another thing that makes Petruchio appealing is how he trusts his wife. No other character does this. The play’s final scene shows Petruchio trusting Kate with his reputation. He thinks the twenty crown wager is an insult, so he says, “I’ll bet twenty times as much on my wife.” Kate comes when she is called, as Petruchio was sure she would. But when he asks Kate to tell these women what they owe their lords and husbands, he loses control of his reputation. What Kate says will reflect on her and him. At this point, Petruchio is also giving Kate a chance to speak to the group. He trusts her a lot. He’s willing to share the public forum with her, which is unusual for a woman. Kate’s speech leaves her husband speechless. He can only say, “Why, there’s a wench!”.

Does Kate fall in love with Petruchio?

Plotted. In the play, Petruchio comes to Padua to marry a rich woman. Hortensio suggests that he marry Kate Minola, the daughter of one of the wealthiest men in the city. Hortensio can’t court Bianca until Kate is married. Petruchio takes an interest in Kate because of the dowry he could get, and agrees. He meets Kate and matches her temper. He convinces her father that she loves him, but only pretends to hate him. The two are married. Petruchio arrives late and makes Kate leave the wedding early. Petruchio tries to tame his wife in different ways. He scares Kate by yelling at the servants and makes her eat less by saying the food isn’t good enough. He offers Kate dresses and jewelry, but then says they’re not good enough. When Bianca and Lucentio are married, Petruchio won’t let Kate go to the wedding unless she agrees with everything he says. He tests her by saying a man is a woman and the moon is the sun. She agrees with both. At the wedding, Petruchio is teased by Hortensio and Lucentio for marrying a shrew. Petruchio proposes a contest to see which man has the most obedient wife. The men call for their wives to see which respond. Only Kate comes, and Petruchio wins. Petruchio orders Kate to bring the other wives and tell them to honor their husbands.

She thinks she’s being forced into marriage against her will and to marry someone she doesn’t love. Tranio defends Petruchio. He says he knows him well and is sure he will arrive soon. Tranio’s response is strange. Tranio is Baptista’s right-hand man. The audience knows the man giving advice is a servant. So much for Baptista’s judgment. Tranio and Petruchio haven’t met much. Tranio knows Petruchio as well as Baptista. Tranio and Petruchio haven’t known each other long, so he can’t judge Petruchio’s character as well as he says. He’s just making things up. Tranio wants Katherine to get married. His remark buys time for the groom. The groom arrives, but people are talking about him before he even reaches the church. Petruchio knows what is proper for a wedding, but he flouts convention. He knows the difference between private and public behavior, and between what’s appropriate for a gentleman and what’s appropriate for a beggar. He purposely does the opposite of what’s expected. He wants to give Katherine what she’s been giving others. She doesn’t understand the rules of society. She can’t see things from other people’s perspectives, so she can’t make a difference. Petruchios lateness, his inappropriate dress, his disease-ridden horse, his attack on the priest, and his leaving his wedding feast are all signals that his reign has begun.
