Shakespeare's treatment of the Kath- arine and Petruchio part of the old play the only part in which he appea to have become heartily interested—is worthy of :uper‘lul study. As I have remarked in the -ylrefl(‘e to my edition of the play (1851), he has bettered the characterization of | the old play, not only by making the per- sonages consistenit with themselves, but 2lso by lifting them to a higher plane of humanity.” Ferando decides to marry Kate because | her father has promised him 6000 crowns if he will do it. Kate, at the very fin interview with her rough wooer, says aside: 2 But yet I will consent and marrie him. For 1 methinks have lived *oo long a maide. And match him to (too) or else his man | sood. The taming process Is in the same vein in the story of the wife lapped In Morel's skin, though not carried to the same extreme of brutality. It is passing strange that s=o many critics have fafled to see that Shake- speare’s Kate Is not the vulgar vixe that the eariler playwright makes her Henry Giles, for example, says in his “Human Life in Shakespeare’ Katharine is the shrew prop sportive, she is only sulky; not sa scurrilous; the shrew of biood a: brain: the shrew of will and not of fancy; of will without reason; obstinate without purpose whimsical without playfulness; quarrelsome without alm—that mixture of fool and fighter which makes the perfect she-tormentor; a talk fng termagant. She has no sport in herself ROOM IN WHICH SHAKESPEARE this merely in a play; elsewhers she c. simply be a misery; only in & play was & tigress evir tamed; only in a play, T trust, such an incarnate virulence ever had existence Schlegel calls Katharine “a young and untamed girl, possessed of none of the attractions of her sex | tells us, early in the play, that she is ‘‘young and beauteous, brought up as best becomes a gentlewoman.” Petruchlo, too, has suffered at the hands of certain critics, who make him coarse, brutal and sordid. thinking only of mon in the match, and taming the wife whom | he does not love as he would break a viclous horse. All this is most superficlal and most unjust, and Shakespeare has carefully guarded against giving us any such idea of the shrew and her conquefor. While he has retained most of the incidents of the old play, he has recreated the actors. The coarse vixen becomes a true woman, who owes her shrewishness to her bring- ing up, and s capable of being “tamed’ | and reformed by the man who under- stands and loves her; and Petruchlo, though he prefers a fortune with his wife, and is frank in saying so, after the man- ner of the time, is no brutal and bluster- ing tyrant, iike Ferando, but good-na- tured with all his rough whimsicality, and heartily enamored of the willful girl | whom he courts and carries off in such unconventional fashion. We must not suppose that Kate Iis merely builied into marrying Petruchio, or that the “taming’ is accomplished by sheer persistence In the homeopathic treatment which the husband adopts. The attempt to “‘cure like with like” would not have been so promptly successful if the lady had not been a half-willing “‘patient” rom the very first. She wants to be married, as she frankly admits in her talk with Bianca, and the desire is not primarily due to her disiike to see her sister get a husband first, though that feeling has its influence In her matrimo- nial aspirations. Like Beatrice, whom she resembles in many ways, though inferior to that spirited and witty lady, she has a loving nature beneath her sarcastic and shrewish outside, and will make a good wife for the man who can win her heart. At the same time she knows that her chances are not so good as her sister’ as her father also sees, and therefore r fuses to let Bianca be married until Kate is off his hands. Under these circum- stances it is natural that she should take a liking to Petruchio at the outset, in spite of—perhaps we should say on ac- count of—his biuff, free-and-easy wooing. She sees that he is a genuine man and in some respects a kindred spirit. She can- not help recognizing his superiority to the | rival suitors for her sister's hand. She | resents his advances at first as too con- | tident and presumptuous, but she is not insensible to his praises of her beauty When he says that it Is reported that she limps, and asks her to let him see her walk, she instinctively desires to show | him that she does not limp, and obeys him | before it occurs to her to refuse. It is a most significant little touch (not found in the old play) and Petruchio sees at once that his suit is half won already. ‘When ner father comes in, she affects to hold off from the match, but it is only for the moment, and the formal betrothal |is promptly consummated in the Italian fashion. She and Petruchio join hands, with_her father's -prm\'al, and Gremio and Tranio are the witnesses to the cere- mony. It Is important that the formal char- acter of this betrothal =hould be notes as showiag that Kate here accep Petruchio as her future husband. contract could not afterward be abr gated without the consent of both the resist or decline the match, this was the time to do It, or ever after to hold her ay be sald that she yicias but this is not the case. the preceding scene he Las discouraged the suit of Petruchio her than urged it on.

M ot accept the lesson, that ungovernable temper and unreasonable impatience and overbearing willfulness, whatever may be the motive that inspires or excites them, can only re- act disastrously upon the person who | gives way lo them? They can only tend to make him miserable, as well as every- body about him. Kate is compelled to say to herself: “This is what I am coming to If I go on as I have begun; let me en- deavor to reform myself first, and then my husband, for we are a couple of fools.” It is interesting to note that one of the first indications of her better temper is & consideration for others rather than her- self. When Grumio s telling of their ride home, he says: “How he beat me because her horse “stumbled, how she waded through the dirt to plick him off me"— which was wonderfully kind under the circumstances; and later, when Petruchio berates the servant for spilling the water, she say: Patience. I pray you: ‘twas a alt unwilling””; and when the meat has en thrown at the heads of those who she excuses the mygh- abused cook by telling her h the meat was well enough If he “were so contented.”” There is nothing of all this in the old piay. It {s not to be wondered at that now and then the old shrewishness reasserts ftself, especially when Petruchio meddies with her millinery and dressmaking. That would try the patience of a female saint, and we cannot expect Kate, who is far from being a saint, to endure it tamely. It is remarkable, however, that she bears it as well as she does.
