The way that Petruchio tames Katherina (the shrew) was so funny to me. He basically took her catty, cruel ways and turned them back on her. She was basically forced a taste of her own medicine and she found she did not like it. But he was doing it in a way to make her a calmer and more obedient wife. He did not want her to be completely silent, but he wanted her to be less contrary.
The only part I didn't enjoy of this play was the very beginning. I didn't understand the point of having this be a play that was presented to another set of characters. The whole introductory act was something that I could easily see cut out of this and it wouldn't affect the humor of the play. But that's just me.
