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.
