And
you, good sir! Pray, have you not a daughter
Call’d
Katharina, fair and virtuous?
Petruchio
The Taming of the Shrew Act II, Scene i, Line 42
So, I guess this is the first time that Petruchio
is going to meet Katharine, the titular shrew. But he goes into it with a good
attitude, doesn’t he? He’s expecting a fair and virtuous woman. And the funny
thing is that a fair and virtuous woman is exactly what he gets. It’s everyone
else who considers her a shrew, but not Petruchio.
It’s an odd bit of a play, and just one more of Will’s works that gets a good deal of pushback in 2024. But like many of his other works, it requires looking beyond the surface. Like much of life, it’s best not to judge based strictly on appearance.
Take this picture, for instance. If you were to make a judgement based purely on what you see here, you might assume that Mojo is an incredibly spoiled little man; and yet the reality is…um…
Okay, that might not be the best example of what
I’m talking about.
