Welcome to episode 32 of Ripe Good Scholar: The Analyzing of a Shrew.
In this episode…
Dr. Lisa Grogan and I will take a trip through the mind of Katherine from The Taming of a Shrew. From the start of the play, Katherine is portrayed as an unpleasant and outspoken woman. These traits make her an outcast in her society. The people in her life make it clear to her that her behavior is not desirable or even very likable. It doesn’t prompt her to change though, even though it makes finding a husband difficult. She would rather be true to herself than conform, which makes her a rather admirable woman.
However, no one in the play seems to appreciate Katherine’s self-confidence. With all of the comments and insults flung her way, it’s no wonder Katherine behaves like a “shrew.” It begs the question: what came first the insults or the shrew?
