What names do Hortensio and Lucentio assume?

Litio and Cambio, respectively.


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 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 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.


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.
