Tranio assumes the identity of his master Lucentio in Shakespeare's play "The Taming of the Shrew." He does this to help Lucentio woo Bianca, as Lucentio's true identity needs to be hidden from Bianca's father, Baptista.

What is the suitors' reaction to lucentio joining them as rivals to biannca?

The thing was, the other suitors Hortensio and Gremio did not at first know that Lucentio was actually a suitor for Bianca, since he was disguised as a teacher called Cambio. In fact Gremio sponsored him to be a teacher. Only later did Hortensio realize that Cambio was competition for Bianca. Tranio, who has disguised himself as Lucentio, does offer himself as a suitor. Gremio and Hortensio cannot have like that much but they don't say so.


Is tranio a flat character in taming of the shrew?

Tranio is not a particularly well-developed character, but then his part is relatively minor, so that is just what you expect. He is basically a foil for Lucentio, and is a servant playing at being the master later on. If Shakespeare spent a lot of time rounding out every messenger that came in with one line, the plays would be interminable and incomprehensible.
