The Taming of the Shrew

Book • 1623
The play is presented as a play within a play, with an initial 'induction' where a lord tricks a drunken tinker, Christopher Sly, into believing he is a nobleman.

The main story revolves around the courtship of Katharina, the shrewish older sister, and Petruchio, who uses various tactics to tame her.

Meanwhile, several eligible bachelors vie for the hand of Bianca, Katharina's younger sister.

The play culminates in a wager where Petruchio proves Katharina to be the most obedient wife, and she delivers a sermon on wifely obedience.
