Do Kate and Petruchio belong together?
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.
In Act 2 Scene 1 of The Taming of the Shrew which of the two characters seem to be stronger and why?
In this scene of the play 'The Taming of the Shrew' the characters Katherina and Petruchio first meet. They engage in a lengthy verbal clash using elaborate phrases, both constructing a new metaphor from the other's remarks. Petruchio believed he had already understood her character, yet Katherina did not at all know of him. Petruchio decides that he would not try to match Katherina's rage, instead will irritate her by responding to her fury in a sarcastically positive way. Petruchio's self-assured and somewhat haughty manner clashed with Katherina's shrewish and opinionated nature, causing the position of the strongest character to fluctuate throughout the scene. Petruchio begins by politely greeting Katherina; he says 'Good morning, Kate- for that's your name, I hear'. Her belligerent and aggressive attitude is revealed instantly, for which he is prepared. She replies by saying that he has heard of something that is not feasible as her name is Katherina. At this point in a conversation any other person were to be having with Katherina, they would by no means make the mistake of addressing her as Kate again. Petruchio however easily disregards her correction and goes on to call her Kate. He begins to compliment her with phrases such as 'bonny Kate', 'pretty Kate' and 'super-dainty Kate', he also lightly adds that she will be his wife. It seems already that Petruchio begins to have an affect on Katherina, as she does not again correct him when he continues to call her Kate, this also suggests that she is beginning to accept his will. Nevertheless Kate's attitude does weaken enough for her to ignore him. The words that Petruchio uses to describe her have clear positive connotations but when used to depict her create a sarcastic tone that she recognises and reacts to. She calls him a moveable. When hearing this Petruchio is entirely unoffended and simply asks her what a moveable is, to which she replies 'A join'd-stool'. She clearly means this as an insult but Petruchio To this, Petruchio make a quick witty response and says that he completely agrees with her and that she should sit him. His quick witty response However, Petruchio drops his calm conduct for a brief moment and in this flash he snaps back at Katherina, he tells her that she should to as she is told. From this it is obvious that there is a moment in which Katherina's petulance proves to be too much for Petruchio and he can no longer And He is able to quickly compose himself and he regains his light tone In my opinion it is Petruchio that is the stronger character in this scene. He manages to challenge Katherina on several occasions without being stopped or fazed at her snappy responses. He maintains his calm and almost taunting tone throughout their encounter and remains mostly in control of his approach and speech while Kate becomes exceedingly aggravated. unaffected At the end of this scene, he is evidently confident of his ability to tame Kate and of his status as a man so much that he boldly tells her father that she has already agreed to marry him when, in reality, she is not. Ultimately it is Petruchio's assertion of that fact he is superior to her in all ways that will tame Katherina, proving he is the dominant character.

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.
