The Taming of the Shrew (CRR)

In English class we are reading The Taming of the Shrew. At first the language was a bit complicated and difficult to follow. I would read a line and then page, and not understand what I just read. Although after I started getting into the book is when I started comprehending the language a bit better. I soon started making connections to the real world and even enjoying it to the point where I wonder what may happen next. Of course the annotations that come with it is a hassle because sometimes I just want to read it, but in the future if I ever need to look back i'll know what happened because of my annotation.

So far what I've gotten out of the book is that Bianca is a beautiful woman who has many people falling for her. There was even a point where men fought for her marriage. Of course she had to wait until her sister Katherina got married. Problem was that Katherina had a horrible mouth. She was just as beautiful as Bianca, but her mouth is what made her seem like a "devil". So far that's the gist of Act one and two that I understood.

  1. I agree annotations can be a hassle. You can always read it twice, once for enjoyment and once for annotating purposes.
