So far, "The Taming of the Shrew" is my new favorite Shakespearian play. Although I was in "Kiss me Kate" last year and I know most of the dialogue, there was so much left out that makes the story a thousand times better. I understand the roles of Hortensio and Gremio must better than I did while rehearsing for the musical.
One passage that stood out to me while reading was:
"I' faith, sir, you shall never need to dear.
Iwis it is not halfway to her heart,
But if it were, doubt not her care should be
To comb your noddle with a three - legged stool
And paint your face and use you like a fool."
I feel like this passage sums up Kate and her stubborness and her "shrew-like" qualities. I'm so glad that I picked this play as my outside reading!

You need to analyze the literary and rhetorical devices employed by the author in the passage.
However, I'm glad you like the play.
