Do you mean when they meet in her father's house? Because that it where they meet (and get into a big argument). Or do you mean after the wedding when they go to Petruchio's house he inherited from his father, where he won't let her eat because he keeps complaining about the food.

The Taming of the Shrew


What game to petruchio and kate play with vincentio?

In Shakespeare's "The Taming of the Shrew," Petruchio and Kate play a trick on Vincentio, pretending that he is a madman. They engage in a playful banter, where Petruchio, pretending to be a servant, humorously misleads Vincentio about the identity of his own son and daughter-in-law. This comedic exchange highlights the themes of deception and role-playing in the play. Ultimately, it showcases the cleverness of both Petruchio and Kate in navigating social interactions.


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.
