The Taming of the Shrew is a play on two sisters, one a shrew, and one of the girls all the male characters want to be with, Bianca. The shrew, Katharina, being tamed in numerous trials by Petruchio. Bianca has three suitors, but she has only fallen in love with one, Lucentio, as he pretends to be a Latin teacher to try to court Bianca. At this point in the play Kate and Petruchio are getting married, although Kate does not want to. While Kate and Petruchio are at Petruchio’s house Kate is denied food as well as sleep and she is ripped of her individuality. By the end of this play Kate and Bianca will both be married, but Kate will be tamed and Bianca won't be the best wife though through her sister she will learn. In The Taming of the Shrew

by William Shakespeare, Katharina is a dynamic character because throughout the play her personality changes for the better.
"I' faith, sir, you shall never need to fear: Iwis it is not halfway to her heart.

But if it were, doubt not her care should be To comb your noddle with a three-legged stool, and paint your face, and use you like a fool.“ Within this quote Kate is yelling at Hortensio, and Gremio about how she will “paint his face.” When Kate declares this she is saying she will cover his face with scratches, and use them as she pleases. This quote shows Kate is being a shrew and she won’t take just any man, even though she is jealous of Bianca. Kate is yelling at Hortensio and Gremio while this is happening, and she is threatening to harm them. Through all of this Kate will meet Petruchio and she will begin to become a better

person.
"Forward, I pray, since we have come so far, And be it moon, or sun, or what you please; An if you please to call it a rush candle, Henceforth I vow it shall be so for me.” This quote describes how Kate and Petruchio are finally getting along and them continuing on to go Bianca’s wedding. Now that all is well with Kate and Petruchio, Kate will agree with anything and everything Petruchio says. If Petruchio were to say the sun is the moon and the moon is the sun, Kate would easily agree. The reasoning behind this is she is now slowly becoming more and more tame to Petruchio. From this part of the book she is progressively warming up to her husband and she isn't such a shrew in public.
"I am ashamed that women are so simple To offer war where they should kneel for peace, Or seek for rule, supremacy, and sway When they are bound to serve, love, and obey,”This Quote shows that Kate is finally tamed and is representing what women should be doing for their husbands.

“...they are bound to serve, love, and obey.” is what they should be doing according to what Kate says. Throughout all of this they are at Bianca’s wedding and she is giving her speech to all the women and girls at the party, explaining how women should act. Now that Kate has been tamed and she has made her statement to the crowd in the party about how a wife should act to their husband the party can continue

on.
Katharina is a dynamic character and has changed from the beginning of the play to the end of the play. Towards the beginning of the play Kate was a shrew and couldn't be tamed by any of the men as well as being jealous of her sister Bianca. By the middle of the play, Kate started to become more compliant with doing what she is told more often. Finally, at the end of the play Kate has done so much that she has learned to just do as she is told and get other women to do what they are told through her speech as well. All of this shows that through the entire play Katherina was a dynamic character.
