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 marries kate in taming of the shrew?
She physically attacks her and also abuses her verbally. But this works just fine for Bianca because it plays into her role as the long-suffering and virtuous innocent, which she isn't, and Kate knows it, and it drives her nuts.
Why do you think Shakespeare chose the phrase break the ice to describe the wooing of Baptista's older daughter?
Once the ice in a river is broken, boats can pass without difficulty. The whole quotation is "And if you break the ice, and do this feat, Achieve the elder, set the younger free For our access." What Tranio is talking about is Baptista's rule that Bianca cannot marry until Katharina is married first. By marrying Katharina, Petruchio will be like the icebreaker who frees up the river for those who follow, the suitors who want to marry Bianca.
Who are funny characters in Shakespeare's plays?
Fools are the funny characters in Shakepeare plays such as Touchstone in As You Like It, Feste in Twelfth Night, Costard in Love's Labour's Lost, Peter in Romeo and Juliet. The funny characters are also known as "clowns". The Porter in Macbeth is hilarious. The gravediggers in Hamlet provide comic relief. Thersites in Troilus and Cressida, Apemantus in Timon of Athens and the Fool in King Lear are more abusive than funny.Falstaff (from the two history plays King Henry The Fourth and also The Merry Wives of Windsor) is probably one of the most notable "clown" characters in a Shakespearean play. He is the fat, drunk, older, thieving friend of Prince Hal.
What character does tranio assume?
Tranio assumes the identity of his master Lucentio in Shakespeare's play "The Taming of the Shrew." He does this to help Lucentio woo Bianca, as Lucentio's true identity needs to be hidden from Bianca's father, Baptista. Tranio's impersonation leads to comedic confusion and misunderstandings throughout the play.
What role do the servants play in The Taming of the Shrew?
There are many servants of the characters Lucentio and Petruchio which play an important part in shaping of the play. E.g Tranio, who is the servant of Lucentio, persuades him to indulge in the pleasures of youth, and he later disguises himself as Lucentio upon his orders.
What does vincentio fear has happened to lucentio when tranio denies vincentio's identity?
Vincentio fears that Lucentio has been impersonated by Tranio, leading to confusion and possibly deceit in the situation. He worries that his son may have been manipulated or tricked into believing Tranio's lies about his identity.
Is tranio a flat character in taming of the shrew?
Tranio is not a particularly well-developed character, but then his part is relatively minor, so that is just what you expect. He is basically a foil for Lucentio, and is a servant playing at being the master later on. If Shakespeare spent a lot of time rounding out every messenger that came in with one line, the plays would be interminable and incomprehensible.
What is Tranio's plan for Lucentio?
first he will take her out to dinner then drop her off at her house and leave. then come back later and creep into her house and then leave again and then he will do this two more times before grapeing her in the mouth

In Taming of a shrew what is a pendant?
A pendant is a necklace. However, the word "pendant" does not appear in the play; the word you are looking for is "pedant", a scholar (hence our word pedantic). This particular scholar has come from Mantua and is planning to continue his journey to Rome and eventually to Tripoli. He is fooled into thinking that he has to conceal his nationality because Mantuans are no longer welcome in Padua, and therefore he has to impersonate Lucentio's father Vincentio.

What are the Symbols in the taming of the shrew?
Women are not stereotyped as "shrews" in this play. If it were so, then all the women in the play would be equally shrewish. But they are not. Kate is shrewish but the other women are not. Some really stereotypical characters are Gremio, the elderly suitor, who like all elderly suitors, is portrayed as being foolish, the lippy servants Tranio and Biondello, who are stereotypes drawn from the commedia dell'arte, and the lovers Lucentio and Bianca. Actually, Kate is the least stereotypical and most interesting character in the play.
