The Taming of the Shrew
by William Shakespeare
THE TAMING OF THE SHREW by WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE
Not sure if you’ve heard of this little-known writer from the midlands, but he’s quite good with his words. He even throws in the odd bit of iambic pentameter every now and then.
Seriously, though, this was my first experience reading Shakespeare on my own, without a class, and without the film playing in the background. It was actually really fun. I haven’t read around this play properly yet, but I feel like it’s got lots of layers, and I can’t wait to peel them back.
10 Things I Hate About You is based on this play, so I spent a lot of time trying to figure out which character was which, and which plot point was which. There’s even a bit in the play where Petrucchio sings and I knew instantly the bit it linked to in the movie! Do you know the bit I mean?
Anyway, great play, great writer. You should check him out some time.
