We shall review some of our notes from yesterday's comparison between the Shakespeare's Taming of the Shrew (movie/play) and the major motion picture 10 Things I Hate About You.

We shall begin reading Act IV of Taming of the Shrew!

Some questions to examine:

1. Why does Grumio arrive ahead of Petruchio and Kate?

2. How was their journey from Padua?

3. What do Kate and Petruchio eat when they arrive?

4. Why does Petruchio reject the mutton?

5. What plan does Petruchio concoct to tame Kate after he rejects their meal?

6. Why does Tranio swear not to court Bianca?

7. What is the taming school to which Tranio refers?

8. Why is origin of the pedant important to Tranio?

9. Why does the pedant offer to play the part of Vincentio while in Padua?
