Farther than at home...Where small experience grows

     Katherina, eldest daughter of Baptista Minola...Lord of Padua.  Katherina's temperamental, and often unpredictable mood induced behaviors (such as her notorious temper tantrums) leads her family to believe that no man would ever wish to marry her...meet Petruchio, sacrificial lamb to the appetites of the noble circles during the age of the enlighten European ways...he has been recruited to tame the impossible.  Her harsh words ring soft kindness true and through to Petruchio's heart with an unconscionable gentleness...nothing was, no food no clothing, ever was good enough for her in any conceivable way!
Can we at least agree?
Can we?  Is it?

Is the Sun, the Moon?
If
You
Please
to call it a
Rush-Candle
Henceforth I vow it shall be so for me
Can Vincent be a transvestite?
Maybe, maybe not, but at least can we agree on one OR the other?
The story ends at a banquet...it might be farce, but it can certainly symbolize human dynamics, specifically Gender relations!  The story, is just that a story...timeless, like so many other stories...yet i am so tickled to find it's parallels.
