Directions: Answer the questions in complete sentences on a separate word document. Be sure and place the title of this assignment in the subject line of your email. You may discuss the questions as a group but each of you should submit your own assignment by email.
1. After reading Kate’s speech lines 8-20. How much sympathy do you think the other characters feel towards her at this point?
2. Read through from line 63-115. Once again Tranio is the one who tries to explain what Petruchio is up to, although he doesn’t get very far. What meaning do you think there is in Petruchio’s strange attire?
3. Read Katherina’s speech lines 190-210. In this speech Kate fights back-and loses. She says she has ‘a spirit to resist’, and tries a number of different tactics during the scene. How is her behavior similar and different from her behavior in previous scenes?
4. Go back and review the language of this scene. Why do you think Shakespeare didn’t show the wedding on stage?
