Hortensio
"...Will undertake to woo curst Katherine
Yea, and to marry her, if her dowry please...
I know she is an irksome brawling scold
If that be all, masters I harn no harm"
-Act 1 Scene 2
Shakespeare's use of harsh word choice makes the reader feel negatively towards Katherine. The use of hard consenants in the words "curst", "irksome", and "scold" give the excerpt a more pessimistic and sharp tone. Shakespeare could have easily used different words to convey the same message, however, the use of these words gives the excerpt more intensity and offers deeper insight to Katherine's true character.
