He began, at that time, to pull away from his mother, and never forgave her for his humiliation.

Shakespeare chose these elements for his play not solely because they were basic, he chose them because they grasped people’s lives in his day. While these subjects reached the heart, the thought of change was brought forth from these subjects. The change was not only in actions, but feelings as well. For example, Petruchio made it plain that he did not want to wed Katherine for his love of her, but instead he wanted to wed her for h ...
