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.


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.

How did Juliet and Friar Laurence's plan go wrong?

The friar failed to take reasonable steps to tell Romeo to come and get Juliet, by sending the message with Friar John instead of someone who was likely to see Romeo anyway, like Balthazar. But the plan was flawed anyway in having Romeo come to pick Juliet up. Because nobody could tell for sure when she was going to wake up unless they watched her drink the potion, the friar should have got the iron crow in the first place and have broken into the vault himself, removed Juliet and smuggled her to Mantua. But he was too much of a moral coward to propose this.
