Taming of Shrew
Taming of shrew is a story which created by Shakespeare. It is a comedy, however, many Faminist does not find think this story is a "Fanny story". It is because this story is partly about the status of women. The main characters in the story are Katherine and Petruchio. Katherine is a woman who is intelligent, and is not afraid to assert her views on any given situation. One day, Pertuchio who wants to be ritch appears and propose to Katherine. Consequentry, Katherine is "Tamed" and becomes ideal wife.
This story sounds like a male chauvinistic. Also, many people think that Petruchio is such a evil man, who did not let Kate to eat food nor sleep and trys to control her life. Yes, it may be true, however, when Kate was not allowed to eat, Patruchio did not eat. In order to keep her awake, he must has awaken all night. He had same pain at the same time when Kate did. Considering this fact, I can not criticize Petruchio.
