Taming of the Shrew

I usually like to think that Shakespeare is a genius! And he usually is. But damn it. This story was awful! I didn't particularly like any of the characters. I wasn't very impressed with the plot. I have to admit that Kate's behavior and ideas are one's that we favor in this day and age. And I'm glad that a woman can have a brain and be applauded for that. But the thing is, she wasn't!! Petruchio is just loud and arrogant. And Kate willingly submits to him. There wasn't much else to it. BLAH.
