Taming of the Shrew

Gentlemen all over Padua are heads over heels for Bianca, the beautiful and submissive daughter of wealthy Baptista Minola. However, Baptista Minola has declared that no one may marry Bianca until her older sister, Katherine has found a husband. Katherine is a violent, temperamental shrew that most men fear. However, Bianca’s suitors persuade Petruchio to court her. Petruchio is on the hunt for a wealthy wife and believes that he can tame any woman. Eventually, Petruchio carries Katherine off to his country house. He then successfully tames her by denying her food, sleep and other necessities. When they return to Padua, they discover that Lucentio has won Bianca’s hand. After the men hold a competition at a banquet, it is discovered that Katherine is now even more submissive and obedient than her sister
