Shakespeare's "Taming of the Shrew"
/ Analysis of Katharina's Monologue in Act 5 Scene 2 : In 5 pages the author
discusses Katharina's monologue in Act 5 Scene 2 of Shakespeare's "Taming of the
Shrew". "'The Taming of the Shrew' by William Shakespeare was considered to be a
comedy in his time. Its plot is the theme in which males and females are pitted against
one another for dominance in marriage. The play appears to be about an assertive woman,
Katharina, who is coping with how she is supposed to act in the late sixteenth century
society. She is expected to obey the unwritten laws of her society in order to be accepted
by it. The play ends with Katharina outwardly conforming to the norms of the society.
Inwardly, however she could be retaining her assertiveness, although she assumes the role
of the obedient wife". No additional sources cited. Katharin.wps
