- The Taming of the Shrew
- Baptista
- Bianca
- Katherine
- Gentlemen, importune me no farther, For how I firmly am resolved you know; That is, not bestow my youngest daughter Before I have a husband for the elder
- To cart her rather: she's too rough for me.
- Bad temper
- Not as feminine as her sister
- Defends herself and her actions
- No strong interest in marriage which was uncommon for her time
- Not afraid of men, especially her father
- Mother
- Maybe if I had a mother or womanly figure in my life I would behave better. Listening to my dad and his patriarchal views has made me angry and disgusted by controlling men!
- Thy husband is thy lord, thy life, thy keeper, Thy head, thy sovereign; one that cares for thee, And for thy maintenance commits his body To painful labour both by sea and land, To watch the night in storms, the day in cold, Whilst thou liest warm at home, secure and safe;

- Ten Things I Hate About You
- Baptista is the father of Bianca and Katherine, "the shrew."
- Walter
- Bianca
- Kat
- Baptista's way of telling Bianca's suitors that they can not wed her until Katherine is married. The man, Gremio, states that Katherine is too harsh and "shrewish" for him.
- You can date when your sister dates!
- But she's a mutant!
- I'm going to listen to feminist music and avoid all of the unwashed miscreantes at school!
- Katherine's feminist behavior in the play
- Does not want to date just anyone
- Defying what men expect of her
- *Listenting to angry girl music of the indie rock persuasion*
- Often reading feminist material
- Am I being punished because mom left?
- The lack of a mother figure could have led to feminist and "shrewish" behavior.
- Don't talk to boys, don't go to parties and don't get pregnant! (My wife left and I need to protect my kids!)
- I don't need a man, I need to care for myself and take it slow.
- In the end Katherine is a changed woman. This is because she was controlled and forced to change. Based on her final speech, the reader is entirely unsure if she is serious or not!
- I can kiss you now. You pursued me greatly and made me realize that you are a great guy!

- Kat's modern feminist behavior in the play
- Kat and Bianca's mom left their family, potentially leaving their father with frightened emotions and Kat with angry emotions.
