After reading this play numerous times for both my English and theatre classes, I have noticed another shrew in the book. This shrew is Bianca. I truly admire her character because this girl is so intelligent. She knows the reason why she is wanted by everyone and why she is preferred by her father is because she is pretending to be nice. However, if you look at what she says carefully there have been plenty of occasions where what she she says is in no way submissive and she is actually ordering the men around. At the end, it is completely clear that she is in no way a follower of men. She just simply uses her sweet and innocent facade to get what she wants. Good job Bianca!
