At last, though long, our jarring notes agree:
And time it is when raging war is done,
To smile at ’scapes and perils overblown.
My fair Bianca, bid my father welcome,
While I with self-same kindness welcome thine.
Brother Petruchio, sister Katherina,
And thou, Hortensio, with thy loving widow,
Feast with the best, and welcome to my house:
My banquet is to close our stomachs up,
After our great good cheer. Pray you, sit down;
For now we sit to chat as well as eat.
Finally, after such a long time, our disagreements are settled. And it's time to laugh at dangers and narrow escapes now that the fighting is over. Bianca, welcome my father. And I'll welcome yours with equal kindness. Petruchio, Katherina, and Hortensio with your loving widow—enjoy the best of our feast and welcome to my house. We're serving a banquet to satisfy our stomachs after our great celebration. Please sit down, because now we're here to talk as much as to eat.
Finally! After all this time, we've sorted things out. Now that all the drama is done, we can laugh about the crazy stuff we went through. Bianca, make my dad feel welcome here. I'll give yours the same treatment. Petruchio, Katherina, Hortensio and your widow—enjoy the best food and feel at home. We've got a feast to fill your bellies after all that partying. Sit down, please—we're going to chat just as much as we eat.

Your husband, being troubled with a shrew,
Measures my husband’s sorrow by his woe;
And now you know my meaning.
Your husband, troubled by a shrew, measures my husband's sorrow by his own sadness. Now you understand what I meant.

Katherina's speech is the play's crisis. It can be read as sincere acceptance of hierarchy (she's genuinely transformed by Petruchio's method), or as brilliant performance (she's learned to play the role of obedient wife so perfectly that she fools everyone, including her husband). The text supports both readings: her instant obedience to every command suggests transformation, but her eloquence and the precision of her argument suggest rehearsed performance. The play ends without resolving this ambiguity. Lucentio's final line—'It's a wonder she could be tamed so'—keeps the door open: is the wonder that she's actually changed, or that she's such a perfect actress? Modern productions must choose; the play itself refuses to.
She hath prevented me. Here, Signior Tranio;
This bird you aim’d at, though you hit her not:
Therefore a health to all that shot and miss’d.
She beat me to the joke. Here, Tranio, this is the bird you aimed at, though you didn't hit. So here's a toast to everyone who shot but missed.
She got in first. Tranio, that's the bird you were aiming for, but you didn't get her. So let's toast everyone who tried and failed.
she beat me to it tranio thats ur target but u missed tribute to the shooters who failed
O, sir! Lucentio slipp’d me like his greyhound,
Which runs himself, and catches for his master.
Lucentio slipped away from me like his greyhound, which runs on its own but catches prey for its master.
Lucentio got away like a greyhound—he runs on his own but brings the catch back to his master.
lucentio escaped like a greyhound runs free but catches for his master

’Tis well, sir, that you hunted for yourself:
’Tis thought your deer does hold you at a bay.
It's good that you hunted for yourself. It's believed your deer has you cornered.
It's great you hunted for yourself. But your deer has you trapped.
good u hunted for urself but ur deer has u cornered
O ho, Petruchio! Tranio hits you now.

Come on, admit it—he just got you with that one!
admit it he got u
A has a little gall’d me, I confess;
And as the jest did glance away from me,
’Tis ten to one it maim’d you two outright.
He's annoyed me a little, I confess. And since the insult bounced off me, it probably harmed you two outright.
Yeah, he got to me a bit. But since that joke bounced right off me, I bet it hit you two guys way harder.
ok he got me a little but it bounced off me and probably hurt u 2 more
Now, in good sadness, son Petruchio,

Well, I say no; and therefore, for assurance,
Let’s each one send unto his wife,
And he whose wife is most obedient,
To come at first when he doth send for her,
Shall win the wager which we will propose.
Well, I say no. So to prove it, let each of us send for his wife. Whoever's wife comes first when he calls her will win the wager we propose.
Actually, I say no. Let's test it—each of us calls for his wife. Whoever's wife shows up first wins the bet we're about to make.

I know her answer.
I know what her answer will be.
I know exactly what she'll say.

The wager scene is structurally essential: it proves Petruchio's method works by testing all three wives, and the order of refusal (Bianca, then the Widow, then Katherina's obedience) shows a hierarchy of submission. But it also reveals that the only wife who obeys is the one who was forcibly broken. Bianca and the Widow refuse, asserting their will, yet society celebrates Katherina's submission. The wager itself is the problem: the men are betting property (money, status) on women's bodies and wills. When Katherina wins the wager for Petruchio, she's winning in a game where women's obedience is the commodity. The fact that everyone celebrates her obedience as a victory—for her, for Petruchio, for marriage itself—is the play's darkest joke.

Fie, fie! unknit that threatening unkind brow,
And dart not scornful glances from those eyes
To wound thy lord, thy king, thy governor:
It blots thy beauty as frosts do bite the meads,
Confounds thy fame as whirlwinds shake fair buds,
And in no sense is meet or amiable.
A woman mov’d is like a fountain troubled,
Muddy, ill-seeming, thick, bereft of beauty;
And while it is so, none so dry or thirsty
Will deign to sip or touch one drop of it.
Thy husband is thy lord, thy life, thy keeper,
Thy head, thy sovereign; one that cares for thee,
And for thy maintenance commits his body
To painful labour both by sea and land,
To watch the night in storms, the day in cold,
Whilst thou liest warm at home, secure and safe;
And craves no other tribute at thy hands
But love, fair looks, and true obedience;
Too little payment for so great a debt.
Such duty as the subject owes the prince,
Even such a woman oweth to her husband;
And when she is froward, peevish, sullen, sour,
And not obedient to his honest will,
What is she but a foul contending rebel
And graceless traitor to her loving lord?—
I am asham’d that women are so simple
To offer war where they should kneel for peace,
Or seek for rule, supremacy, and sway,
When they are bound to serve, love, and obey.
Why are our bodies soft and weak and smooth,
Unapt to toil and trouble in the world,
But that our soft conditions and our hearts
Should well agree with our external parts?
Come, come, you froward and unable worms!
My mind hath been as big as one of yours,
My heart as great, my reason haply more,
To bandy word for word and frown for frown;
But now I see our lances are but straws,
Our strength as weak, our weakness past compare,
That seeming to be most which we indeed least are.
Then vail your stomachs, for it is no boot,
And place your hands below your husband’s foot:
In token of which duty, if he please,
My hand is ready; may it do him ease.
Stop it! Unfrown that threatening, unkind brow. Don't send scornful glances from those eyes To hurt your lord, your king, your governor. It ruins your beauty like frost damages meadows. It destroys your reputation like whirlwinds damage fair buds. And it's not appropriate or lovable in any way. An angry woman is like a troubled fountain— Muddy, ugly-looking, thick, stripped of beauty. And while she is like that, no one so thirsty Will bother to sip or touch one drop of it. Your husband is your lord, your life, your protector, Your head, your sovereign—someone who cares for you. And for your support, he commits his body To hard labor both by sea and land. To work through stormy nights and freezing days While you lie warm at home, secure and safe. And he asks for no other payment from you Except love, fair looks, and true obedience. That's too little payment for such a great debt. The duty a subject owes a prince— That's exactly the duty a woman owes her husband. And when she is stubborn, irritable, gloomy, and sour, And not obedient to his reasonable will, What is she but a foul rebelling enemy And disloyal traitor to her loving lord? I'm ashamed that women are so foolish As to wage war where they should kneel for peace, Or seek power, supremacy, and control When they're bound to serve, love, and obey. Why are our bodies soft and weak and smooth, Unfit for work and struggle in the world, Unless our soft natures and our hearts Should match our physical appearance? Come on, you stubborn and weak creatures! My mind has been as strong as any of yours. My heart as great, my reasoning perhaps greater, To fight word for word and frown for frown. But now I see our spears are just straw, Our strength as weak, our weakness beyond comparison— We seem to be most when we're actually least. So stop resisting, since it's useless, And put your hands below your husband's foot. As a sign of this duty, if he's willing, My hand is ready; may it give him comfort.
Stop it! Get that angry look off your face. Don't shoot him dirty looks from those eyes. Your lord, your king, your leader doesn't deserve it. It destroys your beauty like frost kills the grass. It wrecks your reputation like storms wreck flowers. It's just not attractive or appropriate. An angry woman is like a dirty, murky fountain. She looks gross and ugly and loses all her beauty. And when she's like that, nobody wants to drink from her. Nobody even wants to touch it. Your husband is your lord, your life, your protector. He's your head, your authority—and he cares about you. He works hard to support you, Laboring on land and sea. He's out working through storms at night and cold days While you're home warm, safe, and comfortable. And all he asks from you Is love, a nice face, and obedience. That's barely enough thanks for everything he does. A subject owes his king that kind of duty. And a wife owes her husband the same thing. When a woman gets stubborn and moody and mean And won't listen to what her husband asks, She's basically a rebel and enemy And a traitor to the man who loves her. I'm embarrassed that women are dumb enough To fight when they should be peaceful, To want power and control When they're supposed to serve, love, and obey. Our bodies are soft and weak. We're not built for hard work in the world. But that means our gentle nature Should match what we look like. Come on, you stubborn, weak women! I used to think I was as smart as any of you. My heart was as strong, maybe stronger, I'd argue back and frown for frown. But I realize now our swords are just straw. We're weak, so incredibly weak— We think we're strong when we're actually helpless. So stop fighting—it won't work anyway— And accept your husband's authority. As proof of your duty, if he wants it, I'm putting my hand at his feet. May it comfort him.
stop frowning stop shooting evil looks your husband doesnt deserve it it ruins ur beauty & reputation angry woman = muddy fountain nobody wants it hes ur lord ur life ur protector he works for u on land & sea through storms & cold while ur warm & safe he just wants love looks & obedience thats barely enough thanks wives owe husbands same duty as subjects owe kings if she wont listen = rebel & traitor im ashamed women fight instead of peace we want power when we should obey bodies r soft = for gentle stuff not for hard work so our nature matches our body i used to think i was smart & strong id argue back & frown too but our swords r straw we r weak not strong so stop fighting = useless accept his authority im putting my hand at his feet may it comfort him
