On their arrival in the city Lucentio and Tranio came across Baptista and hi
29、s daughters, Katharina and Bianca. These three were accompanied by Gremio and Hortensio, young gentlemen both in love with gentle Bianca. But Baptista would not permit his younger daughter to marry until someone should take Katharina off his hands. Although Katharina was wealthy and beautiful, she w
30、as such a shrew that no man would have her. Baptista, not knowing how to control his sharp-tongued daughter, announced that Gremio or Hortensio must find a husband for Katharina before either could court Bianca. He asked them also to find tutors for the two girls, that they might be skilled in music
31、 and poetry.Not being seen by Baptista and his daughters, Lucentio and Tranio witnessed this scene. At first sight Lucentio also fell in love with Bianca and determined to have her for himself. His first act was to change clothes with Tranio, so that the servant appeared to be the master. Lucentio t
32、hen disguised himself as a tutor in order to court Bianca without her fathers knowledge.About the same time Petruchio came to Padua. He was a rich and noble man of Verona. He had come to Padua to visit his friend Hortensio and to find for himself a rich wife. Hortensio told Petruchio of his love for
33、 Bianca and of her fathers orders that she could not marry until a husband had been found for Katharina. Patruchio was quite interested in the stories told about bad-tempered Katharina, particularly the account of her great wealth, and he expressed a desire to meet her.Petruchio easily got Baptistas
34、 permission to marry his daughter Katharina, for the poor man was only too glad to have his older daughter off his hands. Petruchios courtship was a strange one indeed, a battle of wits, words, and wills. Petruchio was determined to bend Katharina to his will, but Katharina looked down upon him and
35、scolded him with a sharp tongue. Nevertheless she must obey her fathers wish and marry him, and the wedding day was set.As part of the taming process, Petruchio arrived late for his wedding, and when he did appear he wore old and torn clothes. Even during the wedding ceremony Petruchio acted like a
36、madman, stamping and swearing. Immediately afterward he dragged Katharina away from the wedding feast and took her to his country home, there to continue his scheme to break her to his will. He gave her no food and no time for sleep, while always pretending that nothing was good 5enough for her. In
37、fact, he almost killed her with kindness. Before he was through, Katharina agreed that the moon was the sun, that an old man was a woman.Meanwhile Bianca fell in love with Lucentio, whom she thought to be her tutor and they secretly married. Returning from the church with his bride, Lucentio reveale
38、d the whole plot to Baptista and the others. At first Baptista was angry at the way in which he had been tricked, but Vincentio, Lucentios father, spoke soothingly and soon cooled his rage.Hortensio, in the meantime, had married a rich widow. To celebrate these weddings, Lucentio gave a feast for al
39、l the couples and the fathers. After the ladies had retired, the three newly married men betted one hundred pounds each that his own wife would most quickly obey his commands. Lucentio sent first for Bianca, but she sent word she would not come. Then Hortensio sent for his wife, but she too refused
40、to obey his orders. Petruchio then ordered Katharina to appear, and she came instantly as she was told. At his request she also forced Bianca and Hortensios wife to go to their husbands. Baptista was so delighted with his daughters gentleness and willing submission that he added another twenty thous
41、and crowns to her dowry. Petruchios work had been well done. He had tamed the shrew forever. Translation （P41）A.
