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. Tranio's impersonation leads to comedic confusion and misunderstandings throughout the play.

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.
