The Taming of the Shrew - He Is More Shrew Than She
Grumio reaches Petruchio’s house ahead of the newlyweds and prepares the servants for their arrival. But nothing could brace them against Petruchio’s abuse. He rejects the meals they’ve made and treats them so poorly that Kate implores him to be more patient. Petruchio insists they go straight to bed, where he lectures her on the virtues of abstinence. Meanwhile, as Tranio keeps up his Lucentio impersonation, Hortensio drops his “Litio '' persona and laments Bianca’s affection for Cambio (the real Lucentio). Together, they renounce Bianca and Hortensio declares that he’ll seek the affections of a wealthy widow. Free of Hortensio, Tranio celebrates with Bianca and Lucentio until Biondello arrives with the news that he’s found a drunk Pedant who will be the perfect person to impersonate Luentio’s father, Vincenzio. Tranio and Lucentio work up a plan to fool the Pedant into believing he’s in danger in Padua because he’s from Mantua but that he’ll be safe if he pretends to be Lucentio’s father.
