Petruchio forces Katherina (Kate) to change from an abrasive, bad tempered, ill mouthed shrew into a perfect, docile, honey-tongued wife. Written between 1590 and 1594, it has claimed the title of one of Shakespeare's earliest Comedies and also one of his most controversial works. Particularly for modern audiences, Petruchio and his methods are what have earned this play its name as a highly misogynistic text. Via abuse, public humiliation and starvation he finally attains his goal of taming Katherina. Petruchio, a wealthy and unmarried gentlemen from Verona, wishes a wife.
This is corrupting the mind of young Hamlet, which they think is making him go crazy. “Yet so far hath discretion fought with nature That we with wisest sorrow think on him Together with remembrance of ourselves. Therefore our sometime sister, now our queen, Th' imperial jointress to this warlike state, Have we—as ’twere with a defeated joy, With an auspicious and a dropping eye, With mirth in funeral and with dirge in marriage, In equal scale weighing delight and dole— Taken to wife.” This shows corruption when Claudius is saying that even though his brother past away he still has to move on with his life and mourning wouldn’t help Denmark retrieve its natural appearance. Also, Claudius would do anything for power and he will do whatever it takes to get the crown and Gertrude’s heart. Deception is portrayed when Claudius decides to balance out the mourning of Denmark to announce his marriage to his brother’s wife, Gertrude.
The Cyclops in O brother where art thou, fought the main character to get Everett’s money. The Cyclopes in both movies weren’t the same kind of Cyclopes. In both O brother where art thou and, the Odyssey the both had men trying to take the main characters families. In the Odyssey the men wanted to marry the main character’s wife for the royalty. In the movie O brother where art thou the man that wanted to marry the main character’s wife actually liked Everett’s wife.
When he falls victim to the queen’s treachery, Lanval boasts of his lover’s unmatched beauty. In fact he drives his own coffin nails deeper when adding “So that you may know it plain / Each serving-maid in her domain / The poorest of her household crew / My lady is worth more than you” (295-298). Not only has Lanval rebuffed the Queen’s manipulations, he has publically insulted her. Was he trying to assert his control over the Queen, or was he asserting his desired control over his fairy
The many suitors to Bianca persuade the money hungry Petruchio to woo Katherine. There is also the objective of Katherine’s dowry. Petruchio ties the knot with Katherine and takes her to his country house where he makes an attempt to tame her. He refuses her food, sleep, and new clothes, and, therefore by depriving her of all her necessities she becomes tame. Modified from William Shakespeare’s play The Taming of the Shrew, 10 Things I Hate About You begins with the new kid Cameron who has just arrived at Padua High.
He tells her that she is acting in a way he doesn't approve of, he says that she is ‘walkin’ wavy’ and that this is making men notice her and ‘their heads are turning like windmills’. The thing is, it is Eddie who we see is the one who notices her growing up into an attractive woman, and his desire for her is the cause of the tragedy that ends the play. The way their relationship changes through Act 1 sets up the situation that will end in the death of Eddie at the end of the play. Eddie Carbone and his wife Beatrice have brought up Eddie’s niece Catherine like their own daughter. They do not have children of their own.
He treats her with little regard and believes that she is a “breeder of maggot” This is also evident when Hamlet says to her, “ I say we will have no more marriages. Those that are married already, all but one, shall live; the rest shall keep as they are. To a nunnery go” (3.1.150) Here Hamlet almost commands Ophelia to go to a nunnery, suggesting that she, as a sexually corrupt female, needs improvement. Therefore, Shakespeare’s use of language, illustrated by words adopted by male characters, not only identitifies how women are marginalised, but their ill-sentiments towards
You were just forced to do Miss Havisham’s bidding by having your heart broken by her man-killer as she put it. Just stop with you many “Beautiful Estella” shenanigans and try to win over a much more gentle lady of society. Sure she may have opulence, wealth, and a slight sense of looking could on the outside but on the inside Estella is nothing but a wicked being polar-opposite to her outside. Estella even got you thinking about how “common” Joe was back when you first became his apprentice. Joe may have been a little rough around the edges with society but he cared for you something you Estella could never do.
He tells Iago, “That thou, Iago, who hast had my purse,” to get Desdemona for himself. (I, I, 2) He pays Iago to get Desdemona, not knowing that he really is not in love with her. This portrays lust on Roderigo’s part. Othello, on the other hand, is in love with Desdemona and doesn’t have sex with her until they are married, and because of his respect for her. He had “rather be a toad and live upon the vapor of a dungeon than keep a corner in the thing I love for other’s uses.”(III, iii, 287) Othello evidently portrays love in this play.
By saying these words to her he is crassly calling her a harlot, and making to appear that he never really loved her. Ophelia made one decision and that was to love Hamlet, and now he is using her actions to make her feel inferior and sinful. Up to this point in the play, Shakespeare depicted Hamlet as a mad man hell-bent on avenging his fathers suspect death, however: his cruel outburst at Ophelia is not a turning point in the story in which he goes from being a hero to being a cold-hearted oppressor. Hamlet tells Ophelia that she will have to ‘marry a fool’ because ‘wise men’ would know better than to marry her; he yells at her ‘get thee to a nunnery’, and yet the way it fits into the plot makes it seem almost expected. As the plot progresses Ophelia begins to lose her mind, resulting in her eventually suicide, but at no point his Hamlet called out for his harsh words against her in a significant way.
