Shakespeare's Taming of the Shew is one play that is shrowded with some mystery. Play demonstrates the vast experiences of the social hierarchy in during that time in England. Some of the behaviors between the characters nowadays would be heavily frowned upon or even just lawsuits waiting to happen. Much of these issues and dynamics that are still a massive issue in the present world are investigated or put into satire for the audience by Shakespeare through Kate. While some may argue that Kate is a character that needs to be tamed, Shakespeare's Kate demonstrates that women had feelings but often lost their autonomy when getting married. ***TODO: THIS NEED IMPROVEMENT ->*** This is outlined how Kate's outbursts showed the regular emotions and when she is "tamed" they disappeared, her regular behavior changes dramatically as she is being tamed, and after becoming tamed Kate begins to behave like a "proper" woman and fully has lost her autonomy.

* Act 4 Scene 2: "The more my wrong, the more his spite appears. What, did he marry me to famish me? Beggars tht come unto my father's door upon entreaty have a present alms. If not, elsewhere they meet with charity. But I, who never knew how to entreat
