Kate Sonnet

I took a class called Drama. In this class, we discussed the play the taming of the shrew, which is a play written by Shakespeare. In the play, there are a few main characters that we follow along the way and later need to write a sonnet about. For this class, we have not gone on any FE's but hopefully, this will change soon. For this action project, we needed to choose a character from the book to talk about. I chose Kate because I feel that she was oppressed by her husband. We also had to incorporate at least four vocab words from the actual play.

 

Kate Sonnet

Kate, you used to speak your mind/share your thoughts

You used to be what we would now call, strong

Now you have submitted to be a bot

You need to know that Petruchio’s wrong

You used to shrill and scream and be a shrew

Petruchio said that you he could tame

A “good” wife is what he turned you into

He did it by playing so many games.

Kate look at life from a different view

Life should not be taketh by a husband

Tush Kate, you must heed, people get through

You need to leave, yes leave this fiend running

“Come on, and kiss me, Kate” he determined

You need to make this man your ex-husband

Words from the play:

Petruchio’s

taketh

heed

Tush

fiend

Quote from the play:

“Come on, and kiss me, Kate”

In conclusion, I actually had a hard time writing this because it was difficult for me to find good words that had the proper number of syllables and sounded good. On the other hand, I had an easier time finding the topic because I knew that Kate was being treated incorrect and that needed to change. In the end, I think the project turned out well.
