Lucentio's Arrival in Padua

Lucentio comes to Padua to attend the university, but his attention is quickly captured by the lovely Bianca. He would do anything to marry her, including disguise himself as her Latin teacher.

The Obstacle to Marriage

But a major obstacle stands in the way of Lucentio's intentions: Bianca's father will only allow Bianca to marry after her sister, Katherine, is married. Katherine is everything Bianca is not. She is ill-tempered, opinionated, and objects to the idea of marriage.

The Arrival of Petruchio

When bold Petruchio arrives in Padua, however, he might just be the kind of suitor who could succeed in marrying Katherine.
