ENG450 Gran Canyon Shakespeare Taming of the Shrew Argument Paper

Will in the World: How Shakespeare Became Shakespeare suggests that The Taming of the Shrew focuses “on the battle between the sexes and on the process by which a strong-willed woman is made to submit to the control of her husband.”

Drawing on both the introductory material and the text of the play, make an argument (900-1,200 words) for the ways in which Kate submitted to Petruccio’s control or the ways in which she successfully resisted.

1. Be certain to craft an argument that you will then prove with your writing, avoiding unnecessary summary.

2. Be certain to provide specific evidence from the play and from the introductory material.
