La Mégère apprivoisée

The dynamics between Katharina and Petruchio are both humorous and controversial. I'm curious how this portrayal impacted views on gender and marriage in subsequent literature or theater.

Her change by the end feels both humorous and a bit unsettling. I wonder whether this reflects Shakespeare’s view on female independence or if it’s more of a satire.

The play’s wit and humor make it stand out, but I wonder if Shakespeare intended it as a straightforward comedy or if there are deeper social critiques woven in.
