A "coxcomb" is a part of a cockerel. Many people believe

that cockerels are stupid and lack substance. It is said that its comb is to give the impression that is important and majestic, however all it really does is hide the fact that it doesn't really deserve any merit. By comparingPetruchio

to a cockerel, Katherina is saying that underneath his disguise of sophisticated language and quick witted nature he is actually stupid and pathetic. She argues that he is undeserving of any real honour and should only be accredited for his skill in hiding his useless interior. She also makes him fully aware that she is not deceived by his acting and she can see right through his shell to the coward within.
