Who do you hate the most? Is it your teacher? Is it your classmate?

All of us had people that


we really hate in our lives,but in some instances these people who we hated actually helps
us become better people. In the play "The Taming of the Shrew" a shrew named katherina
hated the man who was gonna marry her,but this man was able to change her personality in
the end. This play might be able to help us realize that the people whom we hated the most
are the path to us becoming better people and better personality.

People can change by reflecting through their own actions, like in the play "The Taming of
the Shrew",Petruchio who was gonna marry Katherina acted poorly towards her which made
Katherina reflect on her own actions and led to a change of her personality. Petruchio was
able to change Katherina because he used love to his advantage specifically the marriage
where Katherina had to live with Petruchio making it easier for him to control Katherina's
actions. Petruchio used love to manipulate Katherina.Petruchio then told Katherina that they
were going to her Father's house and while in the party at the house of Baptista, the father of
Katherina Petruchio got into a competition between Lucentio and Hortensio. The challenge
was whoever was able to bring their wife there when they call them wins, Lucentio and
Hortensio's wife didn't come,but when Petruchio called Katherina she came,dragging both
Bianca and the widow the wives of Lucentio and Hortensio these prove that Petruchio was
able to change Katherina from a shrew to a respectful and obedient lady

In the play "The Taming of the Shrew" love and deception was used to change someone's
personality and knowing this play might actually make us think that deception when put to
the right use and love as manipulation can change someone completely.
