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.
page 139, line 185-187
'It shall be seven ere i go to horse.
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.
