Why did petruchio come to padua in The Taming of the Shrew?
Petruchio came to Padua in "The Taming of the Shrew" to find a wealthy wife. He heard about Katherine, a strong-willed woman, and saw her as a challenge. Petruchio was not motivated by love but by the dowry he could receive by marrying Katherine.
What does Hortensio plan to do when he returns to Padua?
The only time Hortensio leaves Padua is to visit Petruchio and Katherine. Before he goes, he has decided that he will no longer pursue Bianca and will instead marry a widow of his acqaintance. The visit to Petruchio is to fill up the time before he can be married.
What does Petruchio tell Hortensio to do in line IV iii 162 and what does this imply about Petruchio's behavior?
I think the line you are pointing to is this one: "Petruchio: Hortensio, say thou wilt see the tailor paid--Go, take it hence, begone and say no more." The last half of the line may be addressed to the tailor rather than Hortensio. Here's the context: Petruchio has ordered a gown and hat for Kate, but as soon as they are brought to the house he rudely complains that they are not made properly and throws the tailor and haberdasher out. His line to Hortensio shows that this is all a show. The clothes were made properly, and Petruchio would not cheat the workmen by not paying them. His rant about how awful they are is for Kate's benefit and Kate's alone. It is not an expression of his real views. His real purpose is to teach Kate to hide her real thoughts and feelings when it is not appropriate to reveal them.
What are Hortensio's plans for marriage?
He finds a widow to marry, then goes to Petruchio's classes for taming shrews s he can tame his new wife.
What plan do hortensio and gremio come up with?
In Act I Scene 2 of the Taming of the Shrew, both Hortensio and Gremio come up with plans to help either of them get the hand of Bianca. Hortensio sees in Petruchio the kind of man who might actually marry Katharina and clear the way for all of Bianca's suitors. He suggests this and Petruchio agrees enthusiastically before Gremio is even on the scene. When he does show up, he tells Hortensio that he has developed his own plan of installing the scholar Cambio (actually Lucentio in disguise) to pass Gremio's love-notes on to Bianca. Hortensio replies enthusiastically and says that he will install a music teacher for the same purpose. He doesn't tell Gremio that he will disguise himself as the music teacher.
What is act 5 scene 2 about in taming of the shrew?
It's the last scene in the play; Bianca's wedding, at which Petruchio bets that Kate is better behaved than either Bianca or Hortensio's new wife. And so it proves to be; at Petruchio's behest, she comes from other room, then she goes and fetches Bianca and Hortensio's wife and brings them also, and finishes it off with a speech in which she praises the virtue of obedience in wives (a speech which tends to grate on modern ears if delivered straight.)

Who is hortensio in the play The Taming of the Shrew?
Hortensio is a gentleman of Padua who is interested in marrying Bianca Minola, sister of the shrew Kate. He disguises himself as a music teacher to get in the house with a view to spending some time with Bianca. Kate, however, "breaks him to the lute" by smashing it over his head, and he doesn't seem to be making any headway with Bianca, who is totally wrapped up in Lucentio. He therefore gives up on Bianca and marries a widow of the town. She is somewhat headstrong, and Hortensio visits Petruchio to get some ideas on how to "tame a wife". Again, he is not particularly successful; his new wife, when entreated to come to Hortensio, says "she will not come" and bids him come to her.
