More about the book

The play features a framing device where Christopher Sly, a drunken man, is tricked into believing he is a lord while a story unfolds in Padua. The plot centers on the suitors vying for Bianca's hand, hindered by their need to marry her defiant sister, Katherina, first. Known for her independence, Katherina becomes the target of Petruchio's unconventional courtship. Critically examined for its portrayal of gender roles, the comedy offers a complex look at relationships, emotions, and societal norms, making it a timeless classic.
