In The Taming of the Shrew there are many different types of love present, the most prominent being;
1.) Petrucios love for Kat- which would most likely fall under a controlling love, yet a real love all the same.
2.) Kat's love for Petrucio- would maybe be a depserate love, for she has had no one to love her for so long.
3.) Christopher Sly's love for money, would be a greedy love.
4.) Lucentio's love for Bianca would be a shallow love.
5.) Baptista's love for his daughters would be a paternal love.
6. Tranio's love for Lucentio-a familiar love, from being his servant and almost friend.
That's a lot of love! Did you see any similarities between each instance of love? How do these types manifest? You said that these are the most prominent; are there others? I haven't read this play in a VERY long time, but I thought I remembered Kat having a serious aversion to Petrucio. Did you see that too?
ReplyDeleteThat is a lot of love.
ReplyDeleteHey Sasha,
I'm glad to see that Katie and I weren't the only ones short and to the point. I like the way you took the couple and just said what kind of love it was. The big fancy paragraph's get hard to read and i lose concentration quickly. Good Job!
