Petruchio Sonnet

The expectations for gender role for petruchio in the play Taming of the shrew was for him to act like he was better than women and women don't have a say or the authority. Women that thought this was true new that they didn't have a say and respected there husbands no matter what. I think the statement that shakespeare was making when writing this play was that men have more power than women and that they should listen to them. That's my interpretation on the play. I think this play was a real description of life at that time because i don't think women really had a voice as much as know but they still have less of a voice than men. My opinion on kate and percheros relationship in the play is terrible. He treated her like a pet and it was wrong for that to happen to her.
 

Petruchio, don't punish her that way.
She loved you, kissed you, and gave you the world.
You starved her and confused her everyday.
She obeyed like a pet, she twirled and swirled.


She knew it was morning, you said it's night.
Kathrina was done, but you kept going.
You have no Continency, treat her right.
You tamed her like a beast without knowing.


She tried to buckler the servants from you.
Have fun with Katrina and play your game.
You fell in love with her and she did too.
She did nothing, You do not need to tame.


“Let’s be no stoics nor no stocks, I pray.”
Just change, treat her like a human today.


Stocks: a block of wood, without feeling.
Stoic: A follower of the ancient philosophy that stated a man should be free from emotion.
Continency: self-control
Buckler: shield or defend
