cene, Petruchio tells Kate to never make denial.He knows she is not yet convinced, but is telling her to trust himand go along with what he says for the sake of appearance. Thisslowly sinks into Kate and finally takes hold when sheunderstands Petruchio's way of irony on the way home to herfather's (IV.v.12-22). Because they are so much alike, Katetakes very quickly to Petruchio's games of words and irony(IV.v.37-50). Petruchio is the kind of lively person who wouldbe disappointed in a victory too easily won, and disappointed inKate if she were genuinely tamed. I feel certain she will have hervictories, and Petruchio will enjoy them as much as his own....
