Petruchio
Yes, very clearly. Petruchio is just about the only man who Kate cannot dominate. In her heart of hearts, she does not really want to bully everyone around her, but this is the only way she knows of to get things done at the beginning of the play. From Petruchio she learns that you can get your own way without bullying, for which she is truly grateful. For Petruchio's part, it is possible to view him as a man who is shopping for a wife in the same way as people shop for furniture, and he certainly appears this way at the start. Kate the bully would indeed be impossible to live with as everyone tells him, and his plan to "kill a wife with kindness" makes her into someone with whom it is possible to live. However Petruchio chose her, does not give up on her, and in the end shows both affection and trust toward her. Of course this is a play with a lot of different interpretations, and the director can make it appear that Petruchio is himself an abusive bully, or that Kate is an insane maniac and a danger to society. Viewing them as people with needs rather than caricatures probably makes for a better play.

Baptista warns Petruchio about Kate by expressing his concern over her fiery temper and strong will. He describes her as a "shrew," suggesting that she can be difficult and challenging to handle. Despite this warning, Baptista ultimately allows Petruchio to pursue Kate, believing that he may be the right man to tame her. This sets the stage for the tumultuous relationship that unfolds between Petruchio and Kate throughout the play.
