…showed last 75 words of 335 total…Katherine is talking to her father about Bianca and says, "she is your treasure, she must have a husband." Katherine is envious of her sister and notices all the love her father gives Bianca. Moreover, this treatment hurts Katherine so much that she feels that she needs to act up in order to get attention. Therefore, Shakespeare does a wonderful job portraying Katherine as a "shrew." She is characterized as a scolding, nagging, evil-tempered woman.
