In the Italian city of Padua, a young gentleman named Lucentio comes to study at one of the cityâs colleges. As is often the fate of men in Shakespeareâs plays, Lucentio falls in love at first sight. The object of his affection, Bianca, is the beautiful and docile daughter of a rich merchant. Her father, Baptista Minola, has declared that no one can marry Bianca until her older sister Katharina has been married first.
Katharina is the polar opposite of her sister: vicious, foultempered, sharptongued, and stubborn. Any man in her vicinity is at risk of receiving her brutal insults and physical attacks. Itâs no surprise that no man wants to marry herâor thatâs what she believes, until an equally difficult man named Petruchio arrives in Padua.
