Katherina has be starved of food, clothes and sleep. she is not happy about it, and when a tailor turns up to give her her new gown, Petruchio is not happy.

Look what i speak, or do, or think to do,
You are still crossing it.'

Kate's behaviour and behaviour to the wedding. Act 3 Scene 2 line 7-25
Kate regrets choosing to marry him and is embarrassed by the choice. 'No shame but mine.' And she expresses that she doesn't love him she is giving her hand in marriage to him but not her heart and her love. 'to give my hand, opposed to me heart,'. She feels that the marriage to him is just a laugh and a think of leisure, even though she doesn't love him back anyway, he say he loves her and treats in like a laugh. 'Who wooed in haste and means to wed at leisure.' She is also 'full of spleen' (Temper) she is angry and embarrassed by the choice to marry him, and wishes she didn't.
How does Petruchio arrive?
He is wearing a mixture of old and new clothes, he is wearing a 'new Hat and an old Jerkin.' Untidy too and unorganised, he has 'one buckled, another laced;' There seems to be no planning to his outfit nor his arrival, he has arrived on a horse- this is normal but, it gives the impression that he has only travelled to the town to marry, normally they would stay in the town for a while but he has come down just for the wedding, then at the end he leaves quickly again. He is untidy and late, all of this is unusual and strange to the people of the town.
What does he do when he has arrived and how does he feel about the wedding?
He has no idea what is going on, he doesn't know where his bride is, this will be because he is late and unorganised. He does miss her 'But where is Kate? i stay too long from her.' but even though he says this, it still feels that It doesn't matter. He ignores everyone and all of their comment's on his clothes, he wears what he wanted to wear. 'Go to my chamber, put on clothes of mine.'
'Not I, Believe me; thus I'll visit her.'
What happened at the wedding?
At the wedding, Tranio and Gremio are slagging Kate off. calling her and Petruchio devils.
Petruchio is very insistent when he says he needs to leave, he says he has important business to attend to. Tranio says " let us entreat you stay till after dinner." Petruchio insists that he has to leave and nothing will persuade him to stay, he continues to say "it cannot be." and "if you know mt business you would entreat me rather than go than stay" It makes it would like the something he has to attend to is a secret that is of high importance. He stops people talking end inturpts when other people talk.
petruchio talk of Kate as one of his possession's there is a large speak in which he compares his feelings and love and thinks of her as "she is my house".." My horse".. "my ox"

Act 2 scene 1- funny bits.
In act 2 scene one there is lots of puns and humour than the original and modern audience would like funny and laugh at.
The specific page i am looking at is page 69. This has many jokes in it. This is the page in which Petruchio and Katherina have an argument. There is lots of joke's and pun's on the page. The puns they use are clever, this make the audience laugh. It is a very adult sense of humour but i think with the violence at the end of the page, i think this will draw the attention of younger readers/viewers. I think that putting a part in where someone hits another person i quite funny as people find violence funny.

Pun's
Movable- Kate is saying that he is a changeable person, she can change his personality and who he is, easily without any problems. when he doesn't understand what she means she goes back and says she is talking about the other meaning for it, furniture.
Bear- 'Women are made to bear, and so are you' Bear means to carry something or to have a child. Pertruchio is saying that the point of a women is to have a child and she has to too, she is no exception. I think she is more likely to be talking about carrying a child rather than carrying just for example an object.
Jade- 'No such jade as you, if me you mean' she is saying that she is a sexless man and could also mean the actual meaning, horse. No such horse as you- No such sexless man as you. They both work, this makes it a good insult as it is two insults in one. One insults his manly hood, the other insults him in genural.
Burden- 'I will not burden thee, For, knowing thee to be but young and light-' he is a possible two things. he will no accuse her for being young and light. Or also could be be saying he will not make her pregnant. The way the word burden means pregant, shows that in these times it was a burden and a effort to me pregnant.
Light- 'Too light for such a swain as you to catch' She is saying that she is either to slim or promiscuous for a 'country bumpkin or lover' to catch me. Personally i think she is saying she is promiscuous for him, whether or not she promiscous, she wants him to think she is. Maybe she thinks that if she tells him that he wont want to be with her.

Act 2 scene 1
description of Katherina's attitude that has been represented in the first 20
She is represented as a rude foul mouth person, whose speak is drenched in sarcasm. The quote below is a good example of her rude, short tempered bluntness.
'O then, belike, you Fancy riches more: you will have Gremio to keep you fair.'
Petruchio's view on Katherina from page 59
He cares not for imperfections but See's her as a challenge to get, so that he has access to her fathers money.
'Her affability and bashful modesty,
Her wondrous qualities and mild behaviour,'
Petruchio has lots to offer Katherina and her father.
'all his lands and goods'
and there is also one condition Petruchio must follow if he is to marry Katherina
'Ay, when the special thing is well obtained,
That is, her love, fot that is all in all'
Her fathers conditions Her father doesn't mind if they marry but they must be in love and he must treat her right.

final three things i hate.
The final three things i have chosen that i hate.
adverts: no one wants to watch adverts anyway. And when they are in films when always happen in important parts, that don't need to be interrupted and are ruined when the adverts happen. In other shows they just happen so often and i understand they need to be there but i think they should cut them down, there is way to make
bullying: it upsets people, when people bully others they make their life hell, I'm sure every person has been bullied at some point, every person who has been bullied did like it, no one does. Even the people bullying will have been bullied. any form of bullying should be banned, homophobic, racist, cyber, sexiest, ageist, they are all wrong and should be banned. they are very nice things to do to people or receive.
cigarettes: its bad for people, costs the NHS lots of money when they get ill, other people that don't smoke then get ill, passive smoking, every time you walk past someone smoking you breathe in their smoke and effectively your smoking too.

Things i hate and want to ban.
thing's that i hate a want to ban.
- cold calls, always call at the wrong time of the day, they never sell or tell you things that you want or need.
- socks and sandals, it is a pointless thing to do, you were sandals in hot weather so that your feet don't get to hot, so that they then wear socks too, they are just making there feet hot, pointless.
- speedo's, they are horrible, unsightly, and distracting, you are having a conversation with someone and a guy walks past in speedo's its not nice.
- orange fake tan, it looks cheap tacky and awesome, it makes the person look stupid it hurts your eyes.
- adverts during films, no one wants to watch adverts anyway. They always happen in important parts of the film that don't need to be interrupted and are ruined when the adverts happen.
- men in short shorts, i just don't think that it works with men they are like lots like speedo's, you see way to much and it is not nice for other people to see that, they don't make them look attractive in anything it highlights all the wrong places and makes then look not nice.
- cigarettes, its bad for people, costs the NHS lots of money when they get ill, other people that don't smoke then get ill, passive smoking, every time you walk past someone smoking you breathe in their smoke and effectively your smoking too.
- MFL in schools, we get to choose what language we choose to learn but we don't get to choose whether we actually want to do languages until GCSE, and personally i would choose languages and i know lots of other people wouldn't choose it either.
- bullying, it upsets people, when people bully others they make their life hell, I'm sure every person has been bullied at some point, every person who has been bullied did like it, no one does. Even the people bullying will have been bullied. any form of bullying should be banned, homophobic, rasist, cyber, sexest, agest, they are all wrong and should be banned. they are very nice things to do to people or recieve.

sexest clip
In the clips we have just been shown, women have been portrayed in a very sexest way, the viewer's have been told that women can’t drive, can make a valid and worthy input into conversations, they also have been shown as they can’t learn as fast men, they also are shown as a pain in the work place, needing to leave for marriageable reasons.
These are all wrong in my opinion, if women can’t drive then how come our insurance is cheaper than men’s, because men statistically have more crashes than women. Others may think that women can't drive but this is obviously wrong.
Women can have worthy inputs in discussions, there and many discussions at university and school etc that involve women. We have good inputs just like men, sometimes better, you cant decide whether we will have good inputs just by our gender, if you were to determine things by someones gender then i would presume that men are violent people who smoke drink, and others things a lot, but i know that this is not necessarily true.
Women learn faster than men, there has been lots of research to do with this, and the results show that when young up to about late teens, girls learn faster than boys. yes in the video the women is an adult but girls do learn fast. Many people know that boys use the right side of their brain measuring things, understanding directions and working with objects, where as the girl use the left hand side more, reading, speaking and writing. boys are also more likely to be kinesthetic learner than. im not saying girls cant do things the boys can and visversa, what im saying is we learn different, this doesn't meand girls are not a smart as boys either.
Women now a day don’t leave for marriageable reason and even if they do that is their own choice to and has nothing to do with the entire group of girls are worse at working, people can and do leave work for many reasons, it not fair to women, or anyone for the matter, to not won't them to work for just because they might leave one day, its their chose.
