Main Theatre WMG YMMV main index Narrative
|
Kate represents Queen Elizabeth I and Bianca represents Queen Mary.
Elizabeth was shrewish, whereas Mary was docile (at least in their personal life).
The play is pro-shrew.
This is a relatively recent theory, or at least recent to be spoken in public, since being pro-shrew back when this play was written meant Getting Crap Past the Radar.
Related theory:
Kate wins.
She's only pretending to be docile in the end.
The scene with Katarina tying up Bianca was intentional Playing to the Fetishes
