I believe that as the play progress’ pertruchio dose start to act and be like how katherina was Although I do not think it is a fare comparison. Katherina is insulting and being her own person, this is because she dose month follow or believe in the same way as everybody else dose. She is being in some people’s views is mean or evil but she is sticking up for what she believes in. Where as pertruchio is being is just being like Katherina when he is around her, he is doing this to annoy her and try to show her that someone can be like her and stand up to her. You can see this as when he is speaking to her or when she is around he is really rude. But then when he is talking to the audience he speaks calmly.
This is seen in act 2 scene 1 pertuchio say
‘come come you wasp.’ And katherina turns round and puts it right back at him by saying
‘if i be waspish best beware my sting’ this show whit and ability to think on the spot. Then in act 4 scene 1 he starts shouting at the servents this is trying to show them who the dominent role is and who is worse. This is also not allowing kath to eat which is starving her. This is done when he complains the meat is not done and should not be served like this so he throws everything around. Pertuchio says ’tis burnt and so is all the food.’
In conclusion i belive kath and pertuchio can nit be compared as pertuchio is doing it for fun and is all a game to her where as kath belives strongly about what.He is saying.
