I hate the way you talk to me,
And the way you cut your hair.
I hate the way you drive my car.
I hate it when you stare.
I hate your big dumb combat boots,
And the way you read my mind.
I hate you so much it makes me sick.
(It even makes me rhyme.)
I hate the way you’re always right.
I hate it when you lie.
I hate it when you make me laugh—
Even worse when you make me cry.
I hate it when you’re not around, and the fact that you didn’t call.
But mostly I hate the way I don’t hate you—
not even close, not even a little bit, not even at all.

QUESTIONS PAGE 37

Slide 23 - Tekstslide

  • 1. In what way is "De getemde Feeks" not a good translation? 
  • ‘Taming’ is a process, whereas ‘getemd’ is a state. The play is about the process of a shrew being made tame, not about a shrew who is tame.

  • 2. In her speech, Katherine says: 'Young budding, virgin... bed-fellow!'. Do these words make her sound defeated? 
  • No. Katherina is in a joking mood, and enjoys the repartee. She could have confined herself to a brief answer, but chooses to play along and put her own slant on things.

Slide 24 - Tekstslide

  • 3. Battle of the sexes. Who are the winners and losers in this battle? 
  • Possible loser: Lucentio, who finds he has married a woman (Bianca) who is not as he supposed her to be.

  • Winners: perhaps Bianca, who ultimately gets exactly what she wants (although she remains a flat character, so it is hard to be sure of her true feelings).

  • Petruchio is also a winner insofar as he too gets what he wants. He remains a flat character as well, though, which may suggest that Shakespeare did not intend him to be a ‘hero’ who comes out on top.

  • Whether Katherina is a winner or a loser depends on how you interpret the play. However, she ends up as a well-rounded and well-liked character in a seemingly happy relationship; so it can certainly be argued that she is a winner

Slide 25 - Tekstslide

  • 4. What is a practical joke? Did the practical joke depicted in the play work? 
  • A practical joke involves a person being deceived or inconvenienced and thus induced to do something funny, or to exhibit comic bewilderment or such like, but does not involve the ‘victim’ being psychologically or physically harmed.
