Having never seen nor read this play by Shakespeare, is or was Katherine "the Shrew" to whom the title refers? Yes, Alan, I should have included that that was taken from "Taming of the Shrew" by Shakespeare. Neil summed the scene up well. We saw the movie with Liz Taylor and Richard Burton.Shakespeare is very earthy, bawdy may be a better description, and I haven't read much of his work, but Shakespeare-isms pop up in language even today, and are still poignant. BTW, I was thinking of you when I posted that part, knowing how you like to quote from Scripture that a woman's place is to be silent (in the church). But, Hey, why stop there? I think you would like the movie - especially where Katherina agrees with Petruchio that the sun is the moon and moon is the sun. Smile. |

"Thy husband is thy lord, thy life, thy keeper,
Thy head, thy sovereign, one that cares for thee,
And for thy maintence commits his body
To painful labor both by sea and land,
To watch the night in storms, the day in cold,
Whilst though liest warm at home, secure and safe,
And craves no other tribute at thy hands
But love, fair looks, and true obedience-
Too little payment for so great a debt.
Such duty as the subject owes the prince,
Even such a woman oweth to her husband;
And when she is froward, peevish, sullen, sour,
And not obedient to his honest will,
What is she but a foul contending rebel
And graceless traitor to her loving lord?
I am ashamed that women are so simple
To offer war where they should kneel for peace,
Or seek for rule, supremacy, and sway
When they are bound to serve, love, and obey."Katherine giving her speech on what she has learned by being tamed by Petruchio. |
