thanks
| That is, to watch her, as we watch these kites | |
| That bate and beat and will not be obedient. | |
| She ate no meat today, nor none shall eat. | |
| Last night she slept not, nor tonight she shall not. | |
| As with the meat, some undeservèd fault | |
| I'll find about the making of the bed, | |
| And here I'll fling the pillow, there the bolster, | |
| This way the coverlet, another way the sheets. | |
| Ay, and amid this hurly I intend | |
| That all is done in reverend care of her. | |
| And, in conclusion, she shall watch all night, | |
| And if she chance to nod I'll rail and brawl, | |
| And with the clamor keep her still awake. | |
| This is a way to kill a wife with kindness, | |
| And thus I'll curb her mad and headstrong humor. | |
| He that knows better how to tame a shrew, | |
| Now let him speak; 'tis charity to show. |

Here's some good quotes to study from the induction, act 1, act 2, and act 3. I'll post the act 4 quotes later.
"Go to thy cold bed and warm thee" (p. 3)
"I long to hear him call the drunkard husband, and how my men will stay themselves from laughter when they do homage to this simple peasant" (p. 8)
"Thrice noble lord, let me entreat of you to pardon me yet for a night or two or, if not so, until the sun be set" (p. 13)
"Ay, it stands so... despite of the flesh and the blood " (p. 13)
"Let's be no stoics nor no stocks, I pray, or so devote to Aristotle's checks as Ovid be an outcast quite abjured" (p. 16)
"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" (p. 17)
"Believe me, sister, of all the men alive I never yet beheld that special face which I could fancy more than any other" (p. 36)
"For I am he am born to tame you, Kate, and bring you from a wild Kate to a Kate conformable as other household Kates" (p. 47)
"Nay, by Saint Jamy, I hold you a penny, a horse and a man is more than one and yet not many" (p. 59)
thanks
Thus I have Politicity, Began my reign-Petruccio
is there any more stuff like this that could help?
Here's the act 4 quotes:
"Winter tames man, woman, and beast" (p. 67)
"Away, you three-inch fool! I am no beast" (p. 67)
"I pray you, husband, be not so disquiet. The meat was well if you were so contented" (p. 72)
"He kills her in her own humor" (p. 72)
"This is a way to kill a wife with kindness, and thus I'll curb her mad and headstrong humor. He that knows better how to tame a shrew, now let him speak - 'this charity to show" (p. 74)
"Kindness in women, not their beauteous looks, shall win my love, and so I take my leave in resolution as I swore before" (p. 75)
"The more my worng, the more his spite appears" (p. 79)
"Why, sir, I trust I may have leave to speak, and speak I will. I am no child, no babe. Your betters have endured me say my mind, and if you cannot, best you stop your ears. My tongue will tell the anger of my heart, or else my heart, concealing it, will break, and rather than it shall I will be free even to the uttermost, as I please, in words" (p. 82)
"Our purses shall be proud, our garments poor, for 'tis the mind that makes the body rich, and as the sun breaks through the darkest clouds so honor peereth in the meanest habit" (p. 85)
"What, is the jay more precious than the lark because his feathers are more beautiful?" (p. 86)
* The whole sun/moon exchange between Kate and Petruchio is important, but I think the following quote is the most important
"Then God be blessed, it is the blessed sun. But sun it is not when you say it is not, and the moon changes even as your mind. What you will have it named, even that it is, and so it shall be so for Katherine" (p. 92)
"Happily met, the happier for thy son" (p. 93)
when is the test going to be
