The two main characters in "The Taming of the Shrew" are Katherine, the strong-willed and independent woman, and Petruchio, the arrogant and persistent suitor who sets out to tame her. Their contentious dynamic and eventual relationship form the central focus of the play.

The male lead is called Petruchio and the female lead is called Katherine. She is the "shrew" in the title, a word which means a bad-tempered woman.
Romeo and Juliet and Taming of the Shrew both contain young lovers in Italy.
The Taming of the Shrew had dialogue by William Shakespeare. The other movie did not. Their plots are similar, but the Shakespeare play was about the serious business of becoming permanently married and the other movie is about who will go with who to the dance. The motivations for Katherine's behaviour is totally different in the two movies.

The "bit with the dog" in The Two Gentlemen of Verona takes place in a street. There are processions down streets such as the one at the end of Henry IV Part II which might conceivably involve horses. They are not required, however; the dog is.
It is considered a play within a play because of two scenes at the beginning which are called the "Induction". In these scenes a drunk called Christopher Sly passes out in the street. A wealthy man decides to play a trick on him, and moves Sly to his house. When Sly awakes, the wealthy man persuades him that he is really a Lord who is suffering from amnesia. As part of the pretence, a group of actors privately perform a play, which is the comedy of Petruchio and Kate or in other words the Taming of the Shrew. In Shakespeare's play as we know it the other half of the frame is not written in, but in an almost identical contemporary play called "The Taming of A Shrew" (which is the source of considerable debate as to whether it was written by Shakespeare or someone else, and whether "a shrew" or "the shrew" was written first), there is a final scene in which Sly, having fallen asleep again, is returned to the gutter, but awakes saying that he now knows how to deal with his shrewish wife.
