"What, with my tongue in your tail? nay, come again,
Good Kate; I am a gentleman."

Okay, I love 10 Things I Hate About You and that almost influences the entirety of my opinion of this play.

“Hortensio, peace. Thou know’st not gold’s effect.”

I'm exploring Petruchio in my Shakespeare class with Fran as Kate, and boy... are we in for some fun stuff with this scene! My Shakespeare teacher just telling us, "you both wanna fuck each other so bad in this scene. How do I know that? It's in the text!"

Born to be Lucentio. Challenged to be Petruchio.
