Love and marriage are the concerns of Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew. Lucentio's marriage to Bianca is prompted by his idealized love of an apparently ideal woman. Petruchio's wooing of Katherine, however, is free of idealism. Petruchio takes money from Bianca's suitors to woo her, since Katherine must marry before her sister by her father's decree; he also arranges the dowry with her father. Petruchio is then ready to marry Katherine, even against her will.

Katherine, the shrew of the play's title, certainly acts much changed. But have she and Petruchio learned to love each other? Or is the marriage based on terror and deception?

Sobre o autor(a)

Shakespeare, William

William Shakespeare nasceu em abril de 1564 em Stratford-upon-Avon. Depois de casar-se com Anne Hathaway em 1582 e ter três filhos com ela, William mudou-se para Londres. Em poucos anos, seu nome passou a ser reconhecido no teatro londrino, como ator e como dramaturgo. Foi nesse cenário que ele produziria algumas das mais celebradas peças de todos os tempos, entre elas: Ricardo III (1592), Tito Andrônico (1594), Romeu e Julieta (1595), Sonho de uma Noite de Verão (1595), O Mercador de Veneza (1596), Hamlet (1601), Macbeth (1603), Otelo (1604), Rei Lear (1605) e A Tempestade (1611). Com o tempo, Shakespeare prosperou financeiramente e passou a investir parte de sua riqueza em imóveis de Stratford. Depois de sua aposentadoria do palco, Shakespeare voltou a sua cidade natal, onde morreu em 23 de abril de 1616.
